David McKellar Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Last Sunday while out on the usual club Sunday which saw Dennis, Donald and Lesley, Frank, John, Howie, Aileen and myself on the tandum and Mike Ferguson go out through Lochwinnoch and down the Hailie to Largs. After a cafe stop at Largs we headed up the coast through Gourock it was at this point that Mike celebrated a milestone in his cycling by completing 10,000 miles during 2006 with one week to go. No doubt that Mike will have put more miles under his wheels this week, so congratulations to Mike on this achievement. I worked out that I have done about 7,000 miles this year how many have you done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jim Daly Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Mike, Congratulations! Amazing base mileage for a big jump in performance this coming summer. I managed about 5,000 miles on the Langster and about 1,500 miles on my variable geared "coaster". Cheers Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Gray Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Happy New Year Stevie 18000++ miles per year!!, thats 350 miles per week, and 50 miles per day. 365 days per year! if im not mistaken you work for a living, which should take up over 40 hours per week of you time. taking into consideration the following- the scottish winter (days and nights) any colds, viruses, illness etc. race days where you are riding 10's and 25's (usually tens) and of course a young guy like yourself- HAVING A LIFE!! care to elaborate Stevie. or is it just me!! Cheers Sean. P.S i think i might have done 1000 if Im lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kenny MacDonald Posted January 6, 2007 Members Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 If anyone fancies honing their bike handling skills come along to the polo on a Friday night Fixed wheel no brakes on astro turf its hundred mph action where you have to be quick or prepared for pain. Fortunately we are all very skilled in avoiding players, even if Kat & Dawn are playing. If you fancy a go let me know , I can garuantee you will learn all about bike handling very quickly 10 weeks in and no major collissions is testimony to our talented riders, and that includes our 2 new players in past 2 weeks. A very fast game with goals galore , what more could you ask for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie Da Rosa Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Kenny,you should approach David Murray,the fans down Govan way are screaming out for a fast game with goals galore!!!,in fact just the goals might help them!!!
