Guest Jim Daly Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm confirmed as entered for this. Been a while since I applied, I suppose. That makes 3 in the team with Paul and Ramsay? Is David in? In two minds now about my back-up plan to do the Ingliston Crit on Saturday. Jim Still building up energy levels to report on race last week...

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted May 5, 2010 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Jim Have you received a start sheet? If so, are Ramsay and I confirmed but Dave not? thanks PMcD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim Daly Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Email confirmation from Andrew Matheson for me only. I was only going on chatter in the General section. I spoke to Andrew days ago and he said he had 110 riders. I don't know the maximum. Probably 40 ERC riders and up to 20 from beyond the border.

2023 Subscriptions David Thomson Posted May 6, 2010 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Start list on Braveheart now but a bit strange. Paul, Ramsey and I are on the list but I could not see Jim's name. I may just have missed it? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted May 6, 2010 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 David, You are right, no Jim on the start list!! Very strong looking field of 80 riders though (apart from Jim!) . See you there. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim Daly Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Just spoke to organiser. Insurance issues mean reduction of field from 80 to 60. I suggest you watch Braveheart for updates. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted May 9, 2010 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Race today on an excellent course in E Lothian. 60 starters, 44 listed finishers. 4 laps of 14 miles. David, Ramsay and I took part. In brief, Ramsay finished just behind bunch after cramping as gallop started and he then stopped to check on some guys on the deck who crashed in the sprint, David got dropped early after the shock of his return to racing after crash enforced lay off but then very admirably rode round the full course. My tank suddenly registered empty on lap 3 and all I could do was small ring to end of lap and watch the finish. PMcD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted May 9, 2010 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 A bit of a mixed day for the JWCC at the 4 lap British Eagle. The race started at a fairly high pace and after chasing down a few attempted breaks, we got to the main hill where David was unfortunately shelled out the back. He did then continue all the way to the end (45miles+), so good effort. Paul and I held on for the next few laps, before both getting shelled out the back on the second wee climb. I just managed to get back on to the bunch, but it was game over for Paul. On the final lap I lost touch with the bunch again on the same wee climb and although they got 100m+ on me, I decided to give everything to get back on and actually managed it. WIth only 5 miles to go, I worked my way to the front and going into the last corner I was about 10th-15th with only 350m to go. Unfortunately my earlier effort gave me really bad cramp as I tried to sprint, so I sat up to coast over the line. About 100m to go there was a big crash in the bunch, so a few of us stopped to help the guys on the ground (don't think any serious damage to anyone, but at least one smashed carbon wheel). Anyway, myself, Martin Coopland (Falkirk) and Jamie Kennedy (Couriers) did get back on after seeing the guys were ok and coasted across the line. Credited with 36th and David 44th. All in all a hard shift, but good spin on a nice course. Cheers, Ramsay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim Daly Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Bad luck guys. You'll be stronger next time. The Club Run to Cowal run didn't go very well for me either: Not enough time for coffee at the Continental Cafe in Gourock and then the wee coffee shop at the Dunoon side was shut on arrival and departure. Worse to come at Tighnabruach where I was served a Cappuccino, instead of the Latte I requested. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted May 10, 2010 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Well done Guys. There are some photos on Braveheart and it looks a hard race. Good to see some Johnstone jerseys hanging tough in what was a good field. http://www.photoboxgallery.com/JarlathFlynn DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
