Mark O Posted March 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Absolutely howling here chaps and skies out to the south west look rubbish. I realise I posted the ride but I’m not up for a wind swept soaking if I’m honest. Going to dip this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted March 24, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Jwcc group of 6. Major cock up where meeting led to delayed start. Myself Billy John Iain couttie & ian carvill eventually left from clubrooms and headed for Bowfield. Picked up Mr Gumley on the way. Carvill called it a day just after reservoir. John Clark got a puncture at the canny man. His attempt at changing tube was of Hamoc proportions. So 1 hour later( a bit of poetic licence)we were back on road. Left Andy at stewarton and decided to do sewing bee route after a leisurely coffee stop in Stewarton. Faultless ride back to top of Dalek hill when disaster struck Billy. George had clearly got out his voodoo Billy doll as his rear mech sheared off. John redeemed himself as he had all the tools ( including chain link) to fix to a fixie. However George’s voodoo magic ran deep as Billy’s chain was buckled and we had to push him to Glennifer braes road. Still a cracking ride & can not believe how many bailed out.

Members Iain67 Posted March 24, 2019 Members Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Jesus an eventful ride guys. Hope all okay Billy, must be that bloody trek.... Did not want to hold you back todays guys as I don't have any cycling legs at moment. Ended up doing a wee solo run round Langbank and Kilmalcolm and was brutal into that wind. Good effort guys and hopefully get my cycling legs before Flanders. charlie p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted March 24, 2019 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Good effort all. Sorry for the no show, but just not feeling it at the mo, especially when the weather is poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted March 24, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 So I left the chaps at stewarton comforting myself with the thought of getting to Troon and turning towards home and getting out of the headwind. Oh how wrong I was. I nearly cried. Now comforting myself that I have a fully functional rear mech. Hope your okay Billy and no more voodoo hoodoo! Nice to see everyone today and prizes for all going out in that weather andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the joys of the great club run pace debate. Is this for real, committee? Chapeau to the hardy few who braved the elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
