I quite liked the rain...

SOLD

Unable to make this week.

This spring a Facebook 'messenger' group sprung up kind of randomly called 'Saturday morning bike run'. It has a few dozen members from local clubs and it works well, you just post up and generally always a group up for something.

 

Might be worth a pilot for one of the 3 club run groups, if it was one messenger group for all it would probably get overloaded with messages and a bit confusing.

 

Overall I think the Bunch works pretty well for posting and organising runs.

 

 

Messenger groups are all well and good but are they not invitation only? The Group pages area a bit more open and tend not to get a cluttered with rubbish back and forward. Might be a bit easier to navigate/manage/police.

 

If there was a FB group - a cross post between the Bunch and the FB page would cover all comers.

I'm keen to come out with the main bunch this week.

From a new member point of view:

When I was first looking for the club runs and other information my first port of call was to look for some kind of Facebook group. Now I am not facebooks biggest fan but in terms of integration into day to day life its hard to avoid. Most clubs etc seem to have these facebook groups as well as official pages now. (it may be there is a group that I haven't seen)

I joined the Southside and Northside Chainy groups a while back. I am updated, or see in my feed when a ride or whatever is posted despite not having attended.

APR or novice race?


Thats the question for me.

Any one have a link to the route - probably some new roads to me.

Hi Martin - I hope to be out, Don't fancy dunoon with the main bunch just yet.

Noted - no more surging 

That did feel quick!


I dropped my chain (a half back pedal while holding on to the railing - punter!) lost about 40-50 seconds - enough that everyone was out of sight. Caught up with David and Greg and took the shortcut.

Lost touch with the bunch just coming into the 30 at Houston.

A kicking is what I wanted and a kicking is what I got.

Thanks guys - Am I allowed back next week?


 

Hi,

I am hoping to make it - It will be my first time out with the chainy and my first proper fast effort for a while so I'm expecting a kicking.
