2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted February 23, 2020 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Well, stone me. Won't forget that one in a hurry, torrential rain, sleet and hail with gusting winds blowing it through, also some sunshine Echelon up the coast was bonza. Overall it ticked two boxes, Epic and Multi Habble Cheers lads, gonna miss this next weekend in 🌞🌞🌞🌞 Espana Darryl Gunson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted February 23, 2020 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Truly horrible, between the weather and lack of fitness. Turned up the Whin in the snow to get home before frostbite set in. Dave C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted February 23, 2020 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Tough one. Wanted to bail at the Whin but peer pressure saw me carry on. The ride to Largs was pleasantly unpleasant, although after that when the hills appeared my legs didn't want to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted February 23, 2020 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Decided to turn back at Gourock and go up the Whinn to the cafe. Glad I did. Well done all who persevered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ian Archibald Posted February 23, 2020 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Business like and people fell on their sword when they were done. A couple of missed KoM opportunities with the slightly different wind direction today... Richie still ahead of me on Munnoch West - he did his pull - he deserves to best me. Thanks guys.

2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted February 24, 2020 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 This was a terrible ride today and I feel I owe it to you all to share my view: 1. Too much focus nuero muscular, VO2 max, and threshold. Too many sweet spots and not enough zone 2. Just maximum rubbish with minimum gain. I was knackered by inverkip 2. Riding in a slow cadence is almost universally accepted now as silly. You want to grow your quads - sprint flat out for 10s. Churning for 3 hours is like going to the gym and squatting the bar for 3 hours . Really!!!. Slow cadence and wheel sucking is my mantra but could the fit dudes please stop increasing the pace. I not getting enough time to get out my banana. 3. This ride was not just time inefficient (we spent half our time free wheeling when we could have been on the sofa practising our duolingo Spanish) but more, now my legs are semi shredded for tomorrow. Think we could have done with a bit more free wheeling. 4. Not even the social benefit of riding in a group. Either semi puffing or waiting for Billy in his big ring. Billy was smart and stuck to turbo on this horrid day. But you right. Only chat I got was from Andy when we got pumped off bunch in to Largs We all have different goals I know. But this ride is ill conceived I appreciate some guys like it. I wondered why Lynsey Curran refused to turn out - I’d told her we were touring round the lanes - now I know. It was a testosterone fix. C’mon guys. We can do better than this. Lynsey Curran Was smart enough to look at forecast to conclude that this was madness My suggestion is to stick to a long zone 2 ride. Throw in a few 10s sprints and if you like, 30mins at sweet spot. if only !!!! I appreciate this will involve reprogramming our very own Duracell toy, Charlie. Never mind reprogramming I need a total reservice I guess the forum is not for this type of comment. Won’t take offence if the moderators take it down. Honest And for those looking to hire a car from Alicante airport try Rentalcars.co. Naw Billy giving me a lift.
