Iain, thanks for your list of participants and contact details for the Wheelers' bunch ride on Sunday 6th these have been added to the club's Test & Protect Register, valid for 21 days.
I'm just missing a mobile number for Remo, can you send me this on a private message?
cheers,
Eric

Cracking run out today round to Glen Friun, decent bunch and pace made even nicer seeing Scotland at its finest. More next weekend please
Hi Iain, weather turned out well for you, looked like a good brisk ride.
I read above that George didn't join the bunch but asked for someone to stand in as the Wheelers ride coordinator, primarily to take the track & trace register and maintain Covid protocols, who was this as I've not received a list of attendees and contact details yet?
Looking at Strava numbers it was probably the largest bunch out in a long time, a good mix of Wheelers and guests - for the purposes of Covid track & trace that doesn't matter its the details of everyone involved is all I need.
Cheers,
Eric

Since the last committee meeting I am pleased to report that we have received an expression of willingness from club member George Donnelly to act as a ride captain to lead some JWCC small-sized bunch rides, compliant with the current Scottish Cycling guidance.
As the ride captain/leader George will brief those that turn up to ride, take their names and telephone contact details then submit those by email (to me as Club Covid19 Co-ordinator) shortly after completing the ride. This is for a 'track & trace' register. Club rooms will remain closed.
A reminder to all members to view and read the Scottish Cycling Covid19 Guidance document ‘The Way Forward’ to help understand and take personal responsibility in adhering to the requirements contained therein. The basic bunch ride principles remain - max 15 persons from max 5 households, 2m distancing, washed hands, no sharing of bikes or accessories etc.
I expect that any organised rides will be posted on The Forum in the usual manner however as the numbers able to attend will be limited please confirm your attendance in advance to assist the ride captain in their planning.
Finally, further to Alan McLean’s message, posted above by Charlie, if there are any other volunteer ride captains willing to step forward and encourage smaller group club rides, Covid19 guidance compliant, then please do get in touch.

Many of you will already be aware of the updated guidance issued yesterday by Scottish Cycling on The Way Forward for the sport and club activities, the full document can be viewed here https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/zuvvi/media/Scottish_Cycling_The_Way_Forwardv7.pdf
For now it appears that a continuation of 'social' solo and small group rides remains the only realistic course of action - max adult bunch size will likely be 5 if all riders are from different households, still nothing indoors (i.e. use of clubroom), no events, no confined TT. Maintain 2m distancing and personal hygiene (hands, mouth & nose). To avoid need for ride register maybe best to let ‘informal’ ride groups form. Much of the SC document relates to club coaching, which we don’t do, and activities for U17 (Jets).
This document from Scottish Cycling is being regularly amended however it does follow guidance from and requires prior approval of the Scottish Government as each relaxation is announced. so we can expect further changes in the coming weeks.
In the meantime have a good read through and self manage accordingly as there continues to be no official JWCC event until further notice.

A tough and sweaty hour, well done to those with enough energy to ride off into the distance after that. Interestingly spotted riders Ellen v Dijk, Bauke Mollema, Morgan Kniesky..... and D Gunson early on and never to be seen again! 🧐

Iain,
You will have noticed the temp lights and works in Kilmacolm. Scottish Water will be closing the road completely for 2 weeks starting next week. Just thought you should know for both Renfrew and JWCC chain gangs to modify routes.
cheers,
Eric

Wait for it.................there he is (at 1.22) !!!
This also reminds me of a great day spent on The Cauberg at Amstel 2019.

Great bunch ride to get back into the swing of things. Weather, coffee stop, hills and pace all spot on. Hope my BB didn’t spoil the day for anyone!

Hi all. Looking forward to next weekend. Just watching the highlights of Paris-Roubaix!
We are heading across on the overnight ferry on Thursday. Will head down to Valkenburg and hopefully get a wee spin Friday afternoon. Just wondering what everyone else’s plans are?
Very similar Elaine, hopefully meet you on the ferry from Newcastle, will be with DavidC and Paul... we are meeting DavieB in Valkenburg.

Tough run today, feeling it now.
thanks for letting Lorne come along with his tractor tyres
Tractor tyres and a big engine, blowing the bunch apart into the headwind from Dalry to Kilbirnie, impressive!
It was a good but tough day, just what I needed.

A good day out for all, a broad range of abilities with routes (and amendments) to suit how people felt on the day....lots of smiles, the way it should be!
Nice for everyone to have Brian Smith along to see us off following words of welcome from El Pres Martin.
Thanks to all our helpers...and apart from being a bit windy the weather conditions were not bad for early March.
