DavieB Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 As discussed on the run today next Sunday the Scottish Cyclocross Champs are taking place on Sunday 23rd, though not competing I am planning to go along to watch so would prefer a long bunch run on the Saturday. Who knows a Saturday run may also suit a reclusive subtitler who is rumoured to still own and occasionally use a bike Plan would be long coast run - Largs via Bishopton, continue down the coast to Kilwinning and then some Ayrshire back roads back to club rooms. Post up if interested. P.S. would urge all interested in getting along to Irvine on the Sunday to get behind the 'crossers, who knows it might generate more interest in 'cross at the club and start some focus in terms of getting a decent group training and racing for the 2011 season.

DavieB Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 P.S I'll get in first - it won't actually "cost" that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Christie Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 In for a penny in for a pound, Saturday will do for me. Agreed, it would be nice to have a big contingent of wheelers to encourage any participants in the x championships. Depending on the Saturday mileage, I will be driving down to Irvine with my cowbell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions gregbalden Posted January 16, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Im working all saturday, but if anyone else is up for it, i would be happy to cycle down and see a few laps, maybe not all, but maybe the last few, thats better than the first few at least, and cycle back?

Members Richard Posted January 17, 2011 Members Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Who knows a Saturday run may also suit a reclusive subtitler who is rumoured to still own and occasionally use a bike Ha! Yes, I do indeed own a bicycle. The problem is that I've forgotten how to use it. I should be able to join you on Saturday; but on the evidence of my 60-miler this morning, the full distance may be too much too soon.

Mark O Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Count me in for Saturday, at least as far as Largs. If there are plans for a cafe stop in Largs I might even last as far as West Kilbride before bailing out to limp home. Davie, usual arrangements leaving Kilbirnie I assume.

Mmmmm.....the subtitler doth protest too much, methinks Plan for the usual 9:15 at the club rooms, 9:30 at Morrisons - Mark will meet at 8:40 on the track.

2023 Subscriptions Tom Hill Posted January 18, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Sunday is probably better for me too. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Guys, Not much interest in this but would appear to be a decent group going out on the Sunday. My plan remains the same, ride on the Saturday and watch the 'cross on the Sunday but will not be offended if current confirmed posters would prefer to go on the more popular Sunday run instead. Also not hung up on a coast run but would go with the majority if a suitable meeting place is arranged. Let me know what you think.

2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted January 19, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I should be out on Saturday for a few miles. Would probably have a time home of around 2pm, any route is fine by me.... Cheers Ian... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Christie Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I am still keen to come out on Saturday as well. I believe Lord Richard the 1st of Montague was keen on a Saturday outing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Posted January 19, 2011 Members Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yes, I'm keen on a Saturday run and the chance to interact with humans. There's been too much riding about on my own this week. Time alone with your thoughts is overrated. By the time I get home I'm more wound-up than when I left. May have to start listening to Radio 4 in one ear or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy D Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Guys, Was planning on going out from the house in Dunlop early (had thought i would need to go out on my own to try and rack up the miles because i need to be back at the house for 13:00 latest) maybe could tie something in with you guys if your going out?? Any thoughts on a route?? are you still thinking down the coast? Andy D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted January 21, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Dave, if the plan is still to come through Bishopton, i'll get you there, what time you planning to leave Johnstone ?

2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted January 21, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 See you all in the morning. Suggest not over the old Largs road/Brisbane Glen, as it could be icy. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy D Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I could be at morrisons for 08:30 / 09:00 leaving from Dunlop if that works in for anyone??? Andy D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 All, Have one eye on the weather myself as forecasts are variable with freezing fog a possibility! Still, I plan to be at club rooms at 09:15 for the initial meeting. The route isn't set in stone i.e. we can stay more local if people are pushed for time but main roads might be the best option which tends to suggest coast run. Has anybody any other thoughts? Also is everybody planning on the one meeting place or are we meeting people on the way. Obviously if we don't meet up at the same time it makes the prospect of an early morning debate over the most suitable route a bit redundant. Post up and apologies if the above is a bit confusing.

Members Richard Posted January 21, 2011 Members Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 My chain exploded on Paisley Road West today. A long walk followed. Barring further mechanicals (or ice on the ground), I will be outside the clubrooms for quarter-past nine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Ian, Sorry didn't see your post. Executive decision time... 09:15 at club rooms / 09:30 at Morrisons heading out to Bishopton..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted January 21, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 To further confuse matters this week, but for clarity in future weeks, can we scrap the "meeting at morrison"? It was discussed at the AGM in November and again last week at the committee meeting that we should really have one place in Johnstone to meet and that should be our club rooms. I am as guilty as many others, but in reality it only means an extra 5mins along the track and less stop/start/waiting for all. See you at the club at 09:15. R For those from the south west, I'll be attempting the track, but if too icy I'll head over the road through Lochwinnoch and Howwood. Either way, I'll plan to pass the cross at Lochwinnoh at 08:50.
