    Codg1e reacted to Gerard Deeley in Reliability Ride #1 Tour of Renfrewshire   
    http://www.mapmyride.com/gb/elderslie-sct/reliability-no-1-tour-of-the-shire-route-1730016
     
    The first of our 2023 Reliability Rides, meet up at the club room in Miller Street in good time to go with your intended group.
    First group will be off at 0900h, the second will leave at 0930 and the fast riders will leave at 0945.
    Please post up if you intend coming along and in which group, the more the merrier but groups should be kept to manageable sizes.
    Can we also have a key holder for the clubrooms to allow access before and after.  It is traditional to bring along something for afterwards, soup, sandwiches, tray bakes, etc and if everyone makes a contribution for at least one of the weeks there will be plenty.  While these are events that are confined to club members we do also welcome new members and they are a great introduction to JWCC.  Let us make these fantastic cycling and social events with our club and get the season off to a great start.

    Had hoped to but need to be back before 2 so probably give it a miss. Gravel rides always end up longer than im expecting

    Codg1e reacted to Gerard Deeley in Reliability Run #1   
    The first of our club confined events begins on Sunday, the weather has traditionally been rather excellent for each run resulting in an amazing turnout of club members.
    We begin with the Tour of Renfrewshire 40 miles of gentle inclines and amazing scenery.
    If you are not already aware the club is reviewing what we do with the confined events.  After feedback from members the reliability rides will remain unchanged.
    All of the rides start and finish at the club rooms on Miller Street.
    Can we have a key holder to open up prior to the first ride departing.
    The first group will leave at 0900, the second group at 0930 and the last group at 0945.  Please indicate which group you intend joining to ensure you have company for the ride.
    The route is on the link below but it is helpful if someone is on each group who knows the route.

    All donations of food for afterwards are gratefully accepted.  There is enough for quite a hearty feast if everyone brings something for at least one of the four rides.
    While using our club rooms again we need to be mindful of current covid restrictions, as if using a cafe.
    -can we have a contact list for everyone
    -face coverings when moving around
    -you may not attend if you have tested positive or are showing symptoms
    -remember to ventilate and maintain good hygiene

    I really like the idea of this.  What would the 100 mile circuit be?  If ferry involved it might go over the 6hrs, so hope the ferry time doesnt count lol.  
    This is the type of thing that would motivate me to train hard to try and get Gold award, so my vote if for this (and a Single and Double Arran  )

    How about a revamp of the old Tourist Trial event ??  a sort of BAR club event 
    A)  long ride  of 100 miles ie 5 ferries , double Arran or  nominated sportive which has to be completed in different times for each standard  Gold , Silver , Bronze (  dated events to allow qualification)
    b)  a 10 mile TT ( part of League of 10s) again with standard times 
    c)  a Georgetown TT ( Chocolate series) with standard times 
    d)  a hill climb with standard times  ( 2 events to allow qualification time)
    possible addition of confined circuit race , APR , cyclo cross or track event 
    Gold , Silver ,Bronze awards  with Platimum for riders who qualify and also attend nominated whole club runs 
    Separate category for e bikes as we must embrace that these bikes will become more and more prevalent in the future .

    Please note that the night out has now been changed to Friday 12th November 19:30 
    Hopefully now that we are over the worst of the Pandemic, have booked a night out at Amaretto BOW for 19:30 Friday 19th November.
    All JWCC members and friends welcome where I am sure there will be tall tales of cycling glories during 2020-21. Pizza and food available to order on the night and for all you athletes, liquids only 😆
    Hope to see as many JWCC members as possible and if you can post up and let me know if you intend to join, I can let Amaretto know numbers. 
    See you all on the 12th Nov

    Huge thanks to Ian McT for timekeeping and to David Cowan for marshalling at the turn. Congrats to Ian for the win on the day. No PBs on today’s course, since we turned before Houston, but didn’t seem to make it any less hard.
    The gentle spin back to Amaretto’s for coffee and rolls was very welcome.
    I have transferred £15 to the club account.

    There are roadworks in Houston village, due to be cleared on Friday 27th, so keep an eye on the bunch to confirm this is actually the case.
    On the upside, it means some new, smooth tarmac through the village.

    Hi folks, 9am at clubrooms and 9.40 at the Erskine Bridge (south side) for a jaunt across the water along through Helensburgh and past Faslane to Kilcreggan.  We'll join up with 30milers to Helensburgh or Faslane (depending on who from 30milers wants more miles).  Suggest we keep the water on the left and we take on the Coulport climb after the cafe in Kilcreggan.  Return via Glen Fruin or back the way we came - can discuss at cafe on the day.  Circa 80 miles.
    See you Sunday
    Colin.

    I was going to suggest incorporating a ferry or five in the coming weeks since weather finally getting better.  Can't wait!  I am at a friends Saturday night so hopefully won't be too rough on Sunday and hope to catch you at half 8.  Looking forward to this!

    Will likely tag along as far as Helensburgh/Rhu or thereabouts (as long as its dry lol), need to be home sharp on Sunday.  Great route though!  Worth phoning ahead to the cafe at Kilcreggan (if its open!) to let them know how many cyclists are coming, perhaps call when stopped at Erskine Bridge - I recall the service there has historically been a bit hit n miss lol.

    Hi folks
    JWCC club rides are back on! Starting this Sunday. Each ride will have a leader who deals with the track and trace information, and we may face to split into 2 groups if we get very large numbers. Social distancing still in place of course.
    9am at Miller Street for a ride around the coast. Bail out options at Greenock, Gourock and Largs.
    Hope to see some of you then.
    Cheers
    Darryl

    Thanks to lockdown I can descend a lot faster.  It has something to do with physics, mass and gravity, I will know more about after the topic comes up in home schooling.  If you were wearing visible club kit I would have stopped to say hello, I miss club runs and everyone I would see there.

    There is a discord chat you could join. I'm sure someone could livestream the ride too - i think @Colin McPhee has mentioned in the past that he knows how to do that.

    Had the 830 since September. Excellent but of kit. Highly recommended. Great battery life and all the data you could wish for. Plus it lets you see who is calling or texting you. The map is great too. Easy to see and operate.
