Members Kenny MacDonald Posted May 12, 2009 Members Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Good turnout tonight with some noticeable rides. Kenny Christie is showing what a weeks training inSunny Skye can do for your form , just think how fast he will be when he gets a few events under his wheels. In the front group mike was his unselfish self burying himself at the front eventually riding himself into the ground. Kev worked hard trying to take spells as often as possible, whilst Billy was as strong as an ox and both will be a force to be reckoned with when they get used to race tactics ( oh and work out where the finish line is ) Hopefully we can sort out groups a bit better next week with maybe 3 small groups at 5 min intervals ( and nominate an experienced leader for each group) Remember this is training and time spent coaching ineperienced riders will make for better races in the future.

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted May 12, 2009 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 To all those who take part in the Gleniffer "Group Training Ride" - As most of you know I take part in a group training ride at Moscow on a Tuesday. It was suggested tonight that the Ayrshire bunch might come up to Barmill on the odd weekend when the calender is empty so as to form an enlarged group training ride on the roads used for the APR. - Excellent opportunity to ride in a bigger group with similar abilities - Anyone welcome - I said I would gauge interest from the Renfrewshire end so - who might be interested - if you were interested what day would be better - Sat or Sun morning I realise this post is a bit vague so please phone me in the evening on 01505 843836 if you want more info cheers PMcD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kenny MacDonald Posted May 12, 2009 Members Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Paul we used to run a series of APRs at RNAD where Fullarton ran one , ourselves and Inverclyde velo also ran one. They were very succesfull, what you are proposing would be a varation of this and could be equally as good. Flag up some dates and we will see how it goes.

2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted May 12, 2009 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hi Paul Sounds great. Sunday morning would suit me, but I'll try and fit in with what your guys want to do. Cheers Darryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted May 13, 2009 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Kenny C, The same Black Audi TT passed me with only inches to spare, then I watched it pass the others in front in the same way (It makes me feel sick when I see idiots passing cyclist so close and so fast, especially as it was clearly on purpose!). Kenny S did his best to "protect" the riders and show how you should pass cyclists (i.e. - wait until it's safe to overtake and then give them as much room as you would give to any other road user), but to no avail! After it passed me, I did make use of several hand signals, some of which might not be found within the pages of the highway code. Anyway, great ride. You looked like you were very strong all the way. Cheers Ramsay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted May 13, 2009 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Guys n gals A first proposed date for group training at Barmill could be this Sunday 17th about 10.30am. Don't know if the Ayrshire guys are up for it at short notice but I will propose this date provided there is some firm interest. Can anyone else confirm if they would be up for it this Sunday please. thanks PMcD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
