    Hi people,
    the title of my post might have set alarm bells ringing. Sorry for that.
    So.... I’ve not been well for the past 3-4 years. Up & down. Making bad choices then punishing myself for it. Caught in a loop. Eventually went to get help.
    Basically l, I had a really bad experience when I was young that I hidaway from.Denied it happened. Beat myself up for it. 
    Eventually, I sought help. I was referred to a councillor and a CBT therapist. I won’t lie, having to discuss my issues and experiences was brutal. 
    Why am I telling you this? Because if I hadn’t I probably wouldn’t be here.
    Things got so bad that, what I thought was my salvation, “cycling” became toxic. Watching my weight, training, trying to keep up &, as life unravelled, being dropped was very crushing. I saw cycling as being my validation but it became a pressure & a stressor.
    Thanks to mental health professionals & some very good friends in the club who have given me council, I’m on the mend. Thanks, guys.
    I’m still cycling but for now I’m just going out when I feel like it. I’m also eating like a horse with no qualms or worries about “racing weight” I never raced much anyway!
    Why am I posting this? We live in a society that is so driven by aspiration and the need to “get on” and compete. I’ve come to the conclusion that after my experiences I’m just lucky to be here. I’m quite proud to be alive.
    So my message is- if you are struggling, don’t be ashamed to seek help and if you think a friend is struggling don’t shy away from asking if they are ok.
    you just might savesomeone’s life. 
    If you are struggling and looking for help, message me. I might not have the answers but I can signpost you to people who can help you.
    It’s ok not to be ok!

    Max stair pitch is 42% under Building Standards. Welsh hill is not far off that.

    Clubrooms 9am.  Erskine Bridge 9:30am
    Head to Garelochhead the usual way, but turn left and head down to Kilcreggan via Rosneath.  Cafe at Kilcreggan (remember it might be slow - someone remind me to call ahead!).  Then we head to Coulport and up the Coulport drag, back to the naval base but then turn up Glen Fruin...  we'll then head back to base via Balloch the usual way (option for additional cafe/coffee in Balloch or even McDs if anyone requires it).
    135km.  PVCC doing a similar route, so let's make sure we're at the cafe first (for additional bragging rights, lol) so when we get to the bridge we won't be hanging about!

    From what I’ve read, some tyres do need extra oomph to seat them. Others don’t. Guess it depends on tyre/rim combo.

    Solo double attempt 2...missed her again. 
    With north westerly winds, went for the anti-clockwise again (not my favourite). First lap went well...second lap after Lochranza lost the pace...I dont know why just couldn't get going again after the downhill section. A gel and a snack 15-20mins later I was back on again. But by that time lost probably 3mins or so on top of the usual 3mins at the start. Finished second lap around 8 mins down.
    Ah well...may be one day. Probably need another month of the volume and intensity that I have been doing for the last 4 weeks. But play time is over now. Next week back to the usual

    six headed out today, Boyd, Morna, Linda, myself, newbie Jane and a welcome return by Bill Thomson. 
     Made our way to Uplawmoor and then through farm roads to Dunlop  meeting a curly haired poodle on route who froze in the middle of the road. 
    Coffees and teas taken at the Dairy and then home via Barmill and down Bowfield. 
    Thanks for the company guys and girls. 
    We are proposing to do the three ferries route from Wemyss bay. Will post up later when work out the ferry times.

    Outstanding run today. Just right for a proper shakedown of my shiny newly renovated Gazelle, which I have to say behaved impeccably, apart from going upwards, which may be more to do with the engine than the frame.

    Graham, I’ll post up in the “Club Run” section near the time, so watch out for it!
    They depart George Square 11.15am, reckon around 1 hour to Dukes?
    So, say 9am clubroom, 9.30am at the Bridge then a cycle up to Aberfoyle via the Pipe track, might even have time for a coffee before heading up the Dukes to wait for the Peleton 🙂
    Like I said, confirm near the time, yes!
