Due to the extended length of this week's reliability run (70 miles) there have been requests for a shorter run.

 

As such the Thirty Milers will leave from the clubrooms at 9:00am for thirty or so miles on a different route from the main reliability. The route will be around the roads out towards Beith / Barrmill area

 

There will be more experienced riders joining this group to give guidance and advice on bunch riding.

 

More details on the Thirty Milers can be found here http://www.johnstone-wheelers.co.uk/club-info/club-runs

 

A 9:00am bunch is still planned for those wishing to ride in the reliablity. If you intend riding the reliability please post on the West Kilbride Reliability thread http://www.johnstone-wheelers.co.uk/php ... php?t=4793

 

Any takers for the Thirty Milers please post below

Regarding a route:

 

I've seen tractors with snow-ploughs out and about in the last few days but I think there is still likely to be quite a lot of snow/slush on some of the unclassified roads and on the cycle-track, therefore I think we should stick mainly to B-roads and quieter stretches of A-road if possible.

 

To that end I have come up with this suggestion:

It's about 35 miles, with 4 million feet of climbing, 2.8 crap jokes, 6 pregnant pauses and 22 minutes of awkward silence. Oh ya dancer !Oh ya dancer !Oh ya dancer !

Almost made it. Had a soft tyre and by the time I had inflated it desided to try and catch you in Howwood, which I almost did , chased the group from the lights on Beith road to Bowfield hill ( at least I hope it was you lot and not some other random group I was chasing). Where I discovered my soft tyre was a puncture and had to turn back. :angryfire Hopefully make next week without any problems. K x
