Tony Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I would join you but I am doing the cyclocross at Mugdock on Sun 28th. Due to family commitments I can't really do both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertz Van Rental Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 As well as supporting a fantastic cause troops, it's your chance to be famous. the ride is being covered by Cycling.TV and a photographer from Cycling Weekly as well as Braveheart staff photographers. If you're very lucky - you might get interviewed by...................... ME! before the event. Come along and say hello to Uncle Hertz. Don't be scared now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted October 22, 2007 Committee Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I'll be there. Duncan, I'll give you a lift. Anyone else from Kilmacolm/BoW can PM me or Duncan to car share. The pre-ride briefing suggests that D Millar and the other experts will be moving through the bunches giving everyone a chance to cycle with international riders for a spell. Excellent plan. I just hope the poor guy can face endless requests for photos and autographs. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted October 28, 2007 Committee Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Lots of JWCC at Galston for the Braveheart ride. About 500 riders in total; great turnout. The rain held off but the first few miles were muddy on farmroads leading a to a couple of slides on corners. We were reasonably comfortable at around 35 kph in a good, fast bunch of twenty or so until Jason McIntyre, Alan Peiper et al. joined us and decided to push the pace. Club riders tried desperately to hang to these fit national/international athletes but the bunch blew apart. These guys are literally/physically in a different league. Duncan and I fell off the back quickly. Some of the fitter guys held on for a mile or two but soon all we could see was a little group of four or five top athletes about two miles ahead leaving victims in their wake every hundred yards. We were swept up by the groups behind and had a great last 5 miles into Galston with a fast bunch of Nightingale riders. thanks guys. Tea and cakes all round. Martin's son did the route on his lovely wee Tmobile bike and had some surprise T-mobile goodies. I'll let Martin report the details. Super end of season ride, I'm going to chuck the bike in the garage for a few weeks and cut the cables to avoid temptation. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertz Van Rental Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Would that be the same Martin who couldn't bite his own lip and was found upside down behind behind the speakers wearing a pink spangly cowgirl costume singing "I'm merlin the happy pixie" at about 1am this morning at the end of the Braveheart do? Or is it likely that we're talking about a different Martin altogether ??? Marco? Kenny? Dougie de Cervelo? Would any of you like to present the case for the defence, or is a plea change to "very, very guilty" about to be submitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie Da Rosa Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Must ba a different one cos the Martin mullhooligan I know could not bite his own lip at about 11pm!!!! Another top night was had. Oh,and Alan Yeoman was dressed in pink too like a T-Mobile rider although it was more of a girly shade,his wife must have said he looked good in it,at least it's one way she knows he wont get a bird......

2023 Subscriptions martin Posted October 29, 2007 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Guilty as charged, although I'd just like to point out that I was there 'till the end this year. Even witnessed a bar closing for once. That's an improvement on last year. Hope the coffee pot got home safely Dougie. The subsequent taxi experience and the 2:30am trip to Asda in search of scoff was definitely one of the more surreal moments of the weekend. Based on that experience, don't ever send Kenny Steele and Marco VW for the messages. Unless you like chicken. A lot. Back to the important stuff, a great event. Well organised & marshalled ride, over back roads that would certainly feature on Kenny Mac's farmwatch. As Alan says, Lewis came away with some goodies too. We were lined up behind Alan Peiper at the start, and when he saw the wee man's Tmobile TCR he dug into his pocket and presented him with his Tmobile oppy cap. He also came looking for him after the ride with a team bidon and happily posed for photies. Have to report the hat only left the head to go to school today. He's even wearing it in bed! Roll on the next one. Lewis is going for 45 next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kenny MacDonald Posted October 30, 2007 Members Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Some nice fotos of the JWCC posse on the Braveheart site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted October 30, 2007 Committee Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Kenny I've looked for photos but can't find them. Do we look fast and fit? If so then you've mistaken us for another club in blue and yellow. Can you post a link please? Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyS Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 If you're looking for more photies it may be worthwhile calling Asda Kilmarnock and asking them for their CCTV coverage of Marco van stoatin around the supermarket in the early hours searching for food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.yeoman Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Kenny Behavious like ours takes commitment and dedication - not everyone is willing or even able to make the scrifices we have made. I think we did the club proud. roll on next year and lets have some more jonson there . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
