2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted June 23, 2021 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 A return to the Westferry in preparation for the upcoming 10 mile club championship. 7.00 meet for 7.15 off. Usual meeting place at the bottom of Bishopton Hill. Can we get a volunteer to timekeep please. Just a reminder that rear lights are mandatory.

2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted June 24, 2021 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Looking forward to it, I really, really am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted June 26, 2021 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Sadly, the lane closure that was supposed to end on 11th June is still in place, and likely to remain so for some time. We will not be racing on the Westferry this, or probably next week, and the Frank Lauder 10 is also in jeopardy. So, we have a choice. 1. Use the restricted gear course for a 2 lap, 10 mile event as part of the league of 10. 2. Use the Hilly course as part of the league of 10. 3. Georgetown road for another Chocolate series. 4. Abandon this week completely. My favoured option would be 1, because it could be a straight swap on the calendar assuming the Westferry reopens in mid July. Sensible opinions please.

2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted June 26, 2021 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 I will happily ride whatever course on the night. The straight swap keeps the organising of these events simple too, so I am in favour of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 I don't know the restricted gear course, but the idea of a straight swap seems the most sensible and straightforward option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted June 27, 2021 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 All right then, given the limited responses, we will go to the restricted gear course The course: http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/651582320 Please note that the start point has been moved to the duck pond where parking is better and traffic is slower. This should make the start a little safer for everyone. same timing, 7.00 for 7.15 off. I’d really like 2 marshals (turn 1 and turn 4) as well as a timekeeper, but I’ll take what I can get. Meetup at the clubrooms for 6pm to ride up as a bunch is also an option, but post up if you’re coming along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted June 27, 2021 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 I will be there. Marshals would be nice, eventually we could build from there to a support car, club bus, physiotherapist, mechanic…the dreams are endless and the reality brief.

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted June 28, 2021 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 2 riders and a timekeeper. Sorry, guys, I really need at least one more rider to make this worthwhile. If no one posts up they’re riding by 5 pm tomorrow, I’ll call the event off.

2023 Subscriptions Scott M Posted June 28, 2021 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Not sure this helps but planning to ride but will be pushed for time to make it for 7.15 but will try . AlanT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted June 29, 2021 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Ok, bare minimum of riders achieved.

2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted June 29, 2021 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 It felt tough tonight and my lack of energy continued all of the way home. Many thanks to Dave for timekeeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
