P.S me and shimano chains are done. KMC all the way from now on!

Frustrating day for my yesterday. A suspect mechanical ended up in a snapped chain on the Clune. Big thanks to Chung and Steven K for stopping to support. Chung's famous mechanical support got me home, the guys a legend! Glad to hear the scones went down well! See you all next Sun.

Before i Get the missus apron on and start baking; any ideas on what the numbers are looking for tomorrow folks?

Gerald, I could tie in with u for Tues

Johnstone Wheelers Cycling Club and Johnstone Jets Youth Cycling are delighted to announce our support for Paisley’s Bid to become UK City of Culture 2021
 
Our 2016 kit will proudly display the Paisley2021 logo
 
The Johnstone Wheelers Cycling Club has been at the hub of cycling in Renfrewshire since our founding in 1926. The club is celebrating our 90th Anniversary this year with a number of events planned for past, present and new members
 
The Johnstone Jets, youth section of the Johnstone Wheelers, is one of the largest youth cycle clubs in Scotland and carries British Cycling Go-Ride and Clubmark accreditation. Catering for youngsters between the ages of 5 and 17, the Jets have an active club calendar with coached activities at Linwood every Saturday morning and road-race training on Thursday evenings. The jets also organise a number of youth races throughout the summer
 
With the club carrying such a positive profile, not only in Renfrewshire but across Scotland and the UK, we see this as an ideal opportunity to reciprocate the support that we have received from the Council and the people of Renfrewshire over the years. Our members represent the club all over the UK at a variety of events and, if we can help get the message out, then we’re proud to do so

Joined!

Aka White Cart bridge, cool. See you then!

Just checking we are still on for tomorrow and also to confirm where we will meet?

I might be available to join you Gerald. Im open to routes. Three ferries could be a shout. Hopefully it's a nice day. I'll confirm for sure later in the week.

Alright Robbie, I'm off the morra. What time you thinking?

May be able to help with Marshalling Carol, what time etc?

Heading out tomorrow morning down towards Ardrossan if anyone fancies coming along. Could meet at the clubrooms for 9-10am Sorry it's last minute.

Cheers Moi, really enjoyed it and just like last Wed felt very welcome by all the lads. I'll say to Sandra about joining up!

Yeah should be a few out . This is the route https://www.strava.com/routes/2016619
 
One thing i'd mention is that if a rider gets dropped then they are on their own and expected to find their way home. If that does happen then don't be too disheartened - pretty much everyone has experienced it at some point!

Noooooooo!
 
It can't not be summer anymore! I demand some moderation on the use of the "w" word so early on!
 
Unfortunately think you might be right Iain. I had lights tonight and certainly needed them. Surely we can eek out one more week.
 
Good night though. Great night to be out on the bike.

Yes
Thursday 1830 bus stop just down from the roundabout at Houston / Georgetown road

Is anyone going out on Thurs evening chain gang? Following the taster session last Wed, I'm keen to try out a few formats before deciding on whether to join. Cheers, Chris
