Geoff Smith Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hi Johnstones I am planning to organise an inter-club challenge match on the Georgetown. It will be an individual time trial as normal but cumulative times of the fastest 8 riders from each club will count for the trophy. I want it to be a competition between 'rank and file' members of each club so I propose to make it that only riders who have not held a national championship medal in the last 3 years are eligible to count for the team. Hopefully this will make it more competitive for ordinary club riders and make it a bit more interesting than the usual 'team prize' The likely date is 10th September (only available date for TLI)- I hope this will suite people even if they are planning on riding the Tour of the Campsies the next day. Could you let me know if you can support this event (particualry the date as I havent finalised that yet) and how many riders you would be able to send- I suggest 8 to count but as many riders as possible can enter- I reckon there are at least 5 or 6 clubs who could send at least 8 (JWCC, Couriers, Inverclyde, Lomond Roads, GWCC, Nightingale, St Christophers.....) I will restrict it to WOSCA clubs. Let me know your thoughts. thanks Geoff Glasgow Couriers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Orange. Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hi Geoff, Sounds like fun, i would be up for this and i'm sure more from jwcc would be too. Rumours abound that a roundabout will going down on the Georgetown so best that we race it as much as possible in its current form.

Geoff Smith Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 The other date I am considering is the 3rd Sept- nothing in the west that weekend but a TLI stage race in Dumfries- which mossy from TLI would prefer I didnt clash with -were any of you guys planning on heading down to Dumfries?

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted July 9, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Geoff Dumfries - yes plan to do this to support Mossy. That said, I'm sure there would be a good batch of JWCC up for your TT plan though. PMcD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted July 26, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Right then chaps, who's in for this? I have checked and can make it. I'll be doing the Tour of the Campsies the next day, so the Georgetown is a perfect leg loosener. So far I make it Andy, Ian McG, Ben and myself. We need four more and possibly a reserve.

Kenny Christie Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I've yet to enter, but I can do the date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions stuart10ant Posted July 26, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 i could do the date after 6 30, cant promise fast times though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Christie Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Ah, Stuart! A blast from the past. It'd be great to see you there. As I understand it, its an individual event. You compete against the clock solo but the combined fastest times of your 'team/club' count. Incidentally I don't think that the numbers are limited to eight per club. I think there is provision for as many as you like to enter. Hope to see you out soon big chap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay10ant Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I'm off that day and willing to give it a go, although i dont think my time will do much for the combined total. or I could help out it required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
