Members Kenny MacDonald Posted August 3, 2008 Author Members Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Australian pursuit Race slowest riders start in groups with time gap between them. The fastest riders start last in scratch group. Winner is first person to cross the line , so its a race run on handicap basis. Our 4 person team event is a varation of this theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Rankin Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Hi, I think me and Stuart will be able to ride Thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veloscot Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Wouldn't mind joining in, can just about manage sub25 on that course on a really good day but not really used to riding in groups at pace, maybe not the best time to satrt ! Did a couple of 2ups on the Georgetown Road last year with JW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted August 4, 2008 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I'll be there Thursday. Format sounds interesting. Given I don't get home to Beith until after 6, I will need to join everyone down at the West Ferry. Presume we will just meet around the West Ferry roundabout? When is the Millport TTT? Cheers Ramsay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kenny MacDonald Posted August 8, 2008 Author Members Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Millport team time trial SUNDAY 28TH SEPTEMBER THE CUMBRAE 4 UP TEAM TIME TRIAL, Glasgow Road Club Round the Island 10 miles, (nearly) Entry Fee £20 per team last night we had 2 teams Stevie Blom , Ramsay, Jim Daly Davie R, Liam,Stuart , Alastair Davie R found the pace too hot in his grouppetto and slid off to ride on his own. Meantime the scratch group blew apart before a wheel was turned as Jim D missed his start and was left to chase on his own. Stevie was determined to make up the 3 minute gap and his electric pace was too much for Ramsay who succumbed on run in. Stevie stormed past the 3 man first group to finish alone in 22.01 with the 3 youngsters working well as a team next followed by ramsay and Davie who was still under his 10 pb by over a minute. Hopefully more teams next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted August 8, 2008 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Would like to use excuses like, I had a cold (which I did), I was tired (which I was) and I hadn't warmed up (which I hadn't), but when it comes down to it, Stevie just rode the legs off me!! Kenny, I would love to claim that I "succumbed on the run in", but in reality i only managed to hold on until 2 - 2.5miles!! Will try harder next week!

Guest DavieR Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Ramsay, Do not despair, I had no excuses, the lads even waited for me and dragged me back just before the turn, but the minute the road rose up to the roundabout I was going backwards again, I must have cost them about two minutes, I will try harder next week! Still got a pb so all was not lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Blom Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hey Ramsay , Cycling is all about no pain = no gain Believe me ive had my fair share of Doin's this year but if you persavere something will come good in the end..Keep those pedals turning in Anger Man and hope to see you next week. A fantastic work out and was great to see the leading bunch working hard as a unit and not as individuals. Just as well Kenny mac never took my idea of sticking a lap of the Clune brae amongst it otherwise i'd still be oot there ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
