Members Kenny MacDonald Posted February 20, 2008 Members Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Well its the final event of the reliabilities The last chance to stretch your legs before the Don Smith. With the low number in the 9:30 squad last week will we see an amalgamation either with 9:00 or 10:00 bunch? comments please Also last chance for someone to display their soup making abilities Route : Georgetown , Smiddy , Bishopton , Cloch ,Largs , West Kilbride ???? over to Kenny S for the last part of the route , although we will not be releasing it till a souppee has been identified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim Daly Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 OK, OK, I'll do the soup... Now Kenny can unleash the route home. Don't worry, I'll outsource the soup to someone (Karen) who can actually cook. I plan to start at 10am and still be first to sample the soup. Anyone care to join me? Maybe Frank and Darryl will be even hungrier than last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DavieR Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I think Frank wil have to be a bit of a magician to make it round this Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted February 21, 2008 Committee Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi I'm working but if you go anticlockwise I'll try to join the bunch around Georgetown for a few miles on my way home. I'll wait for the map. Kenny can you plug average speed into map to give the ETA at villages/towns? If the Giro and TDF can do it surely the JWCC can Have a good day.

KennyS Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 The route for this Sunday is on the link below http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-ki ... /630440583 The official distance for Sunday is supposed to be 70 miles. The map shows it as being a little longer but as the last 6.64 miles are either downhill, flat or flat oot they don't count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted February 22, 2008 Life Members Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hi all, Will there be a 9.30am bunch? Would there be sufficient number, last week we had 4 for the 9.30 lots, if the number is no greater, I think i'll join the 9.00am bunch if that's O.K. David M, Donald & Leslie, Campbell, Mark W....... are you guys coming out to play? Jim, I think Frank is doing the TT this Sunday. Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions duncan thomson Posted February 22, 2008 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Chung, I think you are right about Frank at the Icebreaker, I think Colin and Ramsay are also doing it too. So from last weekends trip... Alan, Duncan, Frank, Colin and Ramsey will be missing. Not sure about the others Jim won't be held back by us slackers then Sounds like a small chase group Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else? cheers m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kenny MacDonald Posted February 23, 2008 Author Members Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Weather permitting I will be out with 9:00am squad , but time constraints mean I will cut off at Largs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life Members chung Posted February 23, 2008 Life Members Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hi Martin, So that's you, Jim, Campball & me...........who else? Come on, any body, put your hands up! See you all tomorrow at 9.30. Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hi Chung, I hope to be there at 9.30, weather permitting. Referring to Kenny's initial post, a 9am start obviously does not suit me, given that I'm travelling about 40 miles just to get there. Also, when Aileen wishes to come along on a club run, it takes half an hour to get to the clubroom from her house. So, if an amalgamation of either the meeting place or run or both is ever going to take place (and there have been several public views as to why it should), 9.30 would be preferable to us. Anyway, it would also give Martin a long lie every Sunday! Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Scally Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hi Chung, I'll also be out as usual at 9.30 am. Donald starts work at 10.00 am, so won't make it out with us. Cheers, Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions martin Posted February 23, 2008 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 As Para Handy said "There will be no drinking. Chust beer." Best said sternly, with a Hebridean lilt. Exactly so. I remember Hogmanay on a polis-free hebride one year. Our driver for the evening, taking us round the island first footing, had (very) healthy drams at the first two stops. At the next house he refused whisky, "No more drinking, I'm driving", said he. "I'll just have the sherry". And so it was until about 5 am and goodness knows how many stops. Mind you, he did get us home no bother. And he was out to check the sheep at 6. Training, training, training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianfsimmet Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 from previous experience , my guess is your driver martin ,was more than likely the local bobby driving to what was known as 'the method of car control' have a good one whatever time you guys are travelling.

Ah but 9:30am is not preferable to all unfortunately Dennis. Plus we have tried on severall occassions to amalgamate both groups for special runs , at later times and different locations to no avail. Never mind the Don Smith gives us a chance to remedy this situation. Unfortunately I dont see many club members from the 9:30 group on the start sheet at present.

2023 Subscriptions martin Posted February 24, 2008 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 8 hardy souls @ 09:30 - Simon S, Dennis, Lesley, Jim D, Campbell, Seb, Mike F and me. First part of the run was hard fought progress against a block headwind: 1+ hour to the port, scuba riding between Wemyss Bay and Largs at 12:00, and then better progress up the traditional reliability route to Dalry (Kenny S, that map my thingummy will never catch on) arriving there at 1:00pm. At that point the uber-traditionalists mul and simpson turned left and took the regular reliability route back towards Johnstone. This was entirely due to a personal preference not to end up with our heids in our hands by arriving home at 3:00pm or so. How did Kilwinning six fare on the remainder of the modernised route? How was the loop de loop back at the club-rooms? And how did the early birds get on with their run? cheers Mul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
