2023 Subscriptions martin Posted May 18, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hi all, was speaking to Ian Loughran last night. Millport is coming up fast: Sunday June 12th. Ferries from Largs (just ask Billy how to get there). 10 mille TT around the island (keep the water on your left and you're fine): first man off at 11.00am Vets road race at 2.00pm. Ride them both and make a day of it. Always a good day out and a fine spread after the racing. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Christie Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I've never been to Millport before. I believe its very much like Corsica, with its cosmopolitan nightlife, its chic seaside towns, plunging cliffs, and glistening beaches and bays. Full of coastal resorts and bustling ports buzzing with a certain joie de vivre. Yes a day out on this, the Isle of Cumbrae sounds idyllic. TT for me. Anyone else making the trip?

Agent Orange. Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'll be up for this too. Like Kenny, i've never been there before but if its like Corsica then we are surely in for a treat. That must explain the presence of Roman Abromovich's yacht moored in the bay last time i was in Largs. If i can get the saturday off work i might camp overnight on the island, - weather permitting.

2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted June 12, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Good morning for JWCC today. Ben won the TT with a course record (in a league of his own), Vicky won the ladies TT and there were plenty of Jets wins as well. I had to leave early, so didn't get a chance to find out how the Vets RR went. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Orange. Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 What a fantastic day. Glorious morning for a trip to cumbrae. Great to see so much blue and yellow on the road, even better that we swept up the trophies, an uplifting end to a sad week. I hope this run of success can inspire more from more. What happened in tje vets race? Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted June 12, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I think Charlie picked up a prize in the RR, mabye 2nd place in his category, and I picked up a hip injury.. I left before the finish but had a broken phone call with Charlie on the train and i think that was the jist of it, so even more good news....

2023 Subscriptions duncan thomson Posted June 12, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 having doen the ayr openwater triathlon this morning with Alan. I had just finished my tea and bun and lain down for a much needed rest when Alan buggered off to go off to Cumbrae. Not content with his podium Vet tri position he then ended up in the mix for the Vets RR, although he said it was a bit like club run. not sure if I believe any of it to be frank. I had another bun and drove home. Mind you the RR would have been preferable to cutting the jungle (grass) which I had avoided for a month claming it was wet. Hope to be out on Thursday again for a doing up the Clune Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EPCC Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Charlie did get a 2nd in the very very old cat I think we finished somewhere between fourth and seventh as either 3 or 4 went of and we missed it I would agree with Alan the pace was slower than our Thursday night run as my first road race it was funny watching all the mucking about on the front Great fun though I will be back next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted June 12, 2011 Committee Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 The first group was really a bit too small. Only eight of us started from the world famous ritz cafe. The much anticipated Hugh jamieson break went off at the pier as predicted but was blocked by the island bus so the bunch came together and had a lovely ride round the hill, six times. Jamieson punctured so the there were seven. There were a few surges but it was too easy to see what was going on and no-one was strong enough to split the bunch on the hill. So I followed tam Gordon who gave a brilliant lead out in the sprint, but 50 metres too soon. 6th overall ( out of seven ). There are rumours that we were caught by the break from the second group but these are unfounded. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
