Surly Steve Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hey fellow mad cyclists ! How are you all ? Have not posted in a while and have not been getting many miles in either Anyway I would like to invite anyone that may be interested in a bit of off road fun, MTB or crossers, to a wee day we have planned at Paisley Velo. We intend to meet up at the Robertson car park at the Braes on Friday the 30th December at 11am. Idea being we split into four teams, depending on numbers, and race round a marked route. Winning team will get a wee prize. Then we head down to our HQ, Q Bikes premises, for some hot soup and a few beers !! Everyone welcome. We will have a theme of stupid clothing anything goes. Please PM me or call me, most of you have my moby. Hope to hear from you guys All the best Stevie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted December 18, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I'd be up for this - could we get one, or two or even 3 teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surly Steve Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Hi Paul Yes the idea is we have three or four teams. Depending on numbers. May even need riders to go round twice. Hope it goes well and everyone enjoys it. Then maybe it will be an annual event. Today we sorted out the route for the 30th. The arrangements will now be that we commence the event at 11am. Please turn up before this to have a ride around the route and to get organised. We will meet at the Robertson car park. If anyone needs a lift then please let us know and we will arrange transport. Remember any stupid items of clothing are more than encouraged ! Please also understand that this is a fun event and you enter it at your own risk ! The club accepts no responsibility or liability for any injuries sustained by the riders taking part nor loss or damage to bikes etc. We could do with perhaps two people to help with marshalling duties. Soup kitchen will be on site for after the ride. May be wise to bring change of clothing - depending on weather obviously. Today was cold but I would rather that than pouring rain. I will add this wish to my Santa list for the day. Please get back to me to let me know if you are going to participate or not Many thanks Stevie McFarlane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin S Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Hope you scouting went well. As I said this morning I'm jealous as I would like to be there but work gets in the way. If this event becomes an annual event can it be on a weekend where possible so that us "mortals" can join in? Anyhoo good luck to all, and may the best dressed team win!!

Agent Orange. Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Looking forward to this Stevie. I've lifted the dust sheet off the Raleigh Bomber ready for deployment. Cant wait to taste the soil in my beard once again, as for dress? Thinking smart/casual Miami Vice. See you all there. Happy mid-winter!

2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted December 30, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Come on guys, a wee report would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surly Steve Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hi Guys A big thank you to all that turned up today. Billy, Ian Couttie, James and his son Hamish - cheers Cold and wet but everyone had the great attitude to get on with it. Whilst riding it did not even appear to be wet ! Ground was very soft after all the rain we have had and therefore a lot of puddles and mud. With mishaps a plenty and spectacular finish on the line by Billy ( why did I not have my camera - such a you tube moment honestly ) it was good fun Billy won the time trial with Ian ( Couttie ) in second place. Very well done guys. This also means its a record time for the route. All to play for next year Billy ? Again thanks hope you enjoyed it and best wishes to everyone for next year Cheers Stevie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
