KennyS Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 All rides will leave from clubrooms on Miller Street As per previous years there will be two or three bunches with the slower bunch leaving at 9:00am, the second bunch leaving at 9:30am and the wannabe racers leaving at 10:00am. This run is 70 miles long. Please select an appropriate bunch for your ability. Tea, coffee, soup and sandwiches will be served in the clubrooms at the end of the ride. All donations of soup, sandwiches, etc... gratefully accepted The Route http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/14021498 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted February 13, 2011 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 A consensus emerged today amongst the riders who are riding the Flanders sportive that we will treat this reliability as a 'dress rehearsal' for the event. That means: 1. Slightly modified route - all the way to Ardrossan and then up towards Barmill/Uplawnmoor. Then we have a selection of Flanders-type hills (shortish and steep), finished off (in both senses) by a few ascents of the hill climb course. 2. It also means that the 'fast group' will probably leave at 8.30. 3. If the weather is reasonable, perhaps use the bike you intend to ride for the 10 hours at Flanders, just to see if that racing position really is all that comfortable, or whether the racing saddle is suitable etc Cheers Darryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted February 13, 2011 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 the route will be a variation of this without the trip to Irvine http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/fullscreen/28171158/ After that, 5 or 6 nasty hills before finishing off on the hill climb!

Committee Alan McLean Posted February 17, 2011 Committee Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Planning on joining 0830/Flanders bunch, assuming I get some more miles this week. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted February 17, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I'll join the early group as well, but have time constraints, so may need to duck out early. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Tom Hill Posted February 17, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 8:30 for as long as I can keep up. I also have time constraints so will be unlikely to complete whole route. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I (that is the missus) will do the soup as I will be driving to the club - (too many miles with LW return trip as well!) I will be there at nine to put it into the club as probably not first back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l80own Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Guys and girls. Just to let you know, I was down at barrmill on Saturday and the main road is closed till the end of march for re- surfacing. You may have to change the route alittle to avoid the main street not sure how passable it will be if at all. Cheers lindsay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul C Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 9:30 for me. Ian - will the club be open at 9:15 so I can put the soup in? Do we have plastic cups?
