2023 Subscriptions David Thomson Posted March 17, 2010 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Entered in for the B race. Race is a bit more lumpy than the Gifford race so hopefully I will have less people to worry about towards the finish. Asumming I'm up there.

Guest Jim Daly Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Last year, the B race had a break of about 7 stay away after the main climb about 5 miles into the first lap. Expect a maximum of 20 competing at the finish line. I'm hoping to do a bit better in the A race this year. The B race follows the A race by about 5 or 10 minutes. Please don't catch me.

Guest Jim Daly Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 David, Thank you for not catching me. You'll be back on the podium, with a wee bit of rest. I achieved a breakthrough in the Super6 A Race, today. Finished well behind but only following work at the front, attempted breaks, full commitment in a long breakaway from the bunch and a solo Mountain Time Trial running on empty. Very many fast riders were hiding throughout the race waiting on a sprint for minor places. Endura grabbed all the prizes. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions David Thomson Posted April 11, 2010 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I assumed wrong. The legs were starting to feel heavy during the neutrilsed section. Didnt think much of it but when we came to the main climb I tried to accelerate to make the lead group of about 20 but sadly nothing happened and I was left in the 2nd bunch. Hopefully the hard miles today will help on Thursday night at the Ingilston crit and Sunday at the Tour of Meldoms MTT. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted April 11, 2010 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Jim - some serious opposition in the A race you have some tenacity having a go, David - it's all good experience so look on the positive, Just to mention I've entered - British Eagle Trophy 9th May - East Lothian - Vets race at Dunfermline 16th May Not racing next 2 weeks due to rowing commits, up for a hard run next Sunday 18th if anyone else is. Maybe Dunoon or Galston transmitter or drive to Ayr and ride the Nick o Balloch loop? PMcD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted April 14, 2010 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Good effort guys. Sounds tough. I've just finished 4 days touring round Islands and Highlands. Cracking weather for the most part. Next race I'm hoping to do is Paul's APR on 1st (I have a nominated marshall/helper to take my place), I'll then need to see about the British Eagle (it's the same day as Bishopbriggs Tri, where I will be expected as a helper/supporter!). Can't make it out this weekend, but will be keen for some hard training miles on 24th/25th. Should make the Renfrew bunch tomorrow night.
