DavieB Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Alas still struggling to shake off a pesky cold so won't make it. If the weather is anything like today it should be a cracking run......enjoy. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted November 5, 2011 Committee Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Never mind Richard it could be worse mullhobit could be out Alert. The mulmobile is at the garage door, waiting for the man tomorrow. Expect extreme Belgian based conversation. He's off to Ghent soon for the six day and may be unbearable. health and safety advice is max 5 minutes each. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 I think you might pass the intermediate group as you approach Largs - we'll be heading south for West Kilbride. Richard - if you don't fancy the coastal route and would like come company you could turn and come back with us. (It might mean retracing a few miles of your outward route).

FergusM Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Hey, I'll meet you guys somewhere along the track between lochwinnoch and johnstone.

2023 Subscriptions gregbalden Posted November 6, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Sorry for the no show....I tried to arrive, got to brookfield where my free hub had a hissy fit and decided that it wasn't to be! Spinning in both directions? So then Alan and Duncan cycled past, informed them and they carried on. Then once my old man arrived for the lift home, I tried to show the problem where MIRACULOUSLY it started to work!!! So at this point I gave in and my wheels will be hitting the bike shop soon! Was looking forward to a foggy run out this morning! Hope the rest was a success, See you next week! Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Posted November 6, 2011 Members Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Sorry you never made it, Greg. You missed a good one. I couldn't say exactly how many people were in that bunch but it was just right size-wise - no' too big, no' too small - with everyone taking a turn at the front. The sun came out at Gourock as well, which made for a nice ride home. Maybe I'll rethink my opinion of the coast road. Even the Westferry has its merits if the circumstances are right!

Guest EPCC Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I think about 14 were out in the bunch today with a nice route and pace about 70 miles in nice weather after the mist burnt offReally enjoyed the ride and as Richard said just about the right number not too many turns on the front Note change of run next week Moscow neilston braes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted November 6, 2011 Committee Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Greg Your spinning cassette was almost certainly due to freehub pawls sticking in cold grease. Then they released when the temperature rose a little. We were covered in hoar by the time we reached the clubrooms so it was freezing alright. About one mile after we left you Duncan pointed out that you have a natural supply of hot water that you could have "poured" over the cassette to try to warm it a little. Worth doing next time. You might want to take the freehub off if poss. and clear out any crud. Just lube with light oil. Should stop it happening again.

And to think I had your frame pump in my ungloved hands today, Alan. I hope you've not been "pouring" recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted November 6, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Greg Agree with Alan - very likely a bit of water in your freewheel, drain it, replace the moisture with oil and it won't happen again. Happened to me ?? years ago (??=too long to remember) missed you at the 30 signs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the offer, Tony. I had half a mind to take you up on it, but Bagel Basket fever had taken over by the time you passed us. I wouldn't have turned round for man nor beast!
