2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted February 18, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 S'pose I'll go with the 10am group despite my crisis of confidence. If I get over the Erskine bridge with em I should be ok for a bit. I'll take my train fare & compass for when the inevitable happens....

Members Richard Posted February 18, 2012 Members Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Well, in light of what's been posted, I'll see the "fast" bunch at half-ten on the north side, and - with a bit of luck - everyone else at the clubrooms afterwards.

Mark O Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 For the record I'll be out for a 10 am roll out of Miller Street. To paraphrase yon Reid chappie - There will be no rivetting (nae pun intended), no 3 minute spelling, no tight ripping and no falling off. We will proceed around the so designated route in a orderly fashion as a tight knit group at a smart but not stupid pace, with the goal of steadily chasing down the 9.00 and 9.30 groups, assuming they do the fully course. No hammer until Langbank would be my suggestion, certainly not until after the bridge. Would be good to see some of the intermediate group jump onto our wheels should in fact the 10 bells bunch catch you - if you get shelled the intermediate group should sweep you up soon enough.

2023 Subscriptions David Thomson Posted February 19, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Sorry I didn't make it today, (looks like the best day of the year so far as well) but was having a coughing fit when I got up this morning.

2023 Subscriptions martin Posted February 19, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 un-reliability run. Got as far as Dumbarton Rock before my lock ring came loose. Thanks to Ramsay for a running repair I managed a solo run home, passing a healthy sized 10.00 o'clock bunch. Did they catch youse? Great day for the bike, shame I couldn't make more of it.

Committee Alan McLean Posted February 19, 2012 Committee Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Martin It's all academic because Billy's chainstay sensor was knocked out of alignment so none of his miles count. Billy, all that pain, for nothing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted February 19, 2012 Committee Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 PS the 1000 hrs bunch hadn't passed anyone up to where I turned for home up West Glen. Darryl was driving hard for home and left us all suffering in his wake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Cross Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Great run today (great because on an entirely selfish note, I made it with everyone else! ). Lovely weather. Think we started with 9 but lost one, sorry forget his name, after a couple of punctures and then Martin a bit further down the road. The, ahem, Magnificent Seven, then had a good run, catching a couple of the early starters but more importantly, didn't get caught by the 10am starters. Thanks for the tea etc in the clubrooms. See you soon...unfortunately not next weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Turned out to be a beautiful day for a ride. My legs did as asked of them for the 1st time in a while probably down To the magical powers of my splendid new tights. The tights are a tad flamboyant but with my dashing good looks and flawless riding style I looked Excellent. In fact I looked like like Hincapie (the Norse god of good looks) It's a shame for you guys as my sartorial elegance coupled with my winning smile makes you Lot look quite a raggle-taggle bunch by comparison. Sadly lacking the pizzaz factor. Wait to you see me in my safari suit at the curry night. Humble George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EPCC Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I wasn't there I have no data therefore today didn't happen If it did it was enjoyable got bined half way up the langbank climb worked with Richard to get back on which we did due mainly to Daryl easing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted February 19, 2012 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Smashing day out. Best weather of the year possibly. Thanks to the 10 o clock bunch for another good ride. Sorry to hear about George's illness. Apparently he's been suffering from 'panache attacks'. We witnessed one when he turned up this morning. Not a pretty sight. Get well soon mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Posted February 19, 2012 Members Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Billy, in the absence of data, I'll testify that the tow you gave me along Barochan Road was something else. Looks like the training's working. Nice day for a run, but hard going with Phil climbing stylishly and Darryl flying along. Thanks for your company, lads, and cheers to Ian McGinty for the soup. At work next week, but I'll be back for the Don Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Accrington Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 A really enjoyable run today and a fine effort (if I may say so) from the 9am group who were caught up with on the way back to Langbank/Houston. Well done to Ross. And thanks to the catering staff for the hospitality . See you next week. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 A day of mixed fortunes for the skinny one. Such a fine day weather wise, was really up for a good day in the saddle. Unfortunately my rear wheel has sadly gone to that big workshop in the sky. The rear wheel is dead! Long live the rear wheel! still, 60 wonky miles on the clock. Whatever happened to the 30 milers? Brownie points and gold stars to Mary and young Ross for dispelling all rumours that the 30 milers had been put on the WWF extinction list - merely the endangered species list now. You guys might be able to throw a bowling evening together but the jury is well and truly out on the issue of organising a bunch, on such a sunny day too. Hope to see you all next weekend for a jaunt down the coast. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Beautiful day for a ride!! The medium bunch got a good rhythm goin on the back so manged to hold off the 'quickies'. Got home and was de-mucking bike and noticed that one of my chain links had snapped on one side! Lucky it didn't break completely on the run.

Colin McPhee Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Enjoyed the run today. Surprised we held off the fast bunch with the mechanicals and punctures but thought we were working well as a group and kept a steady pace. Looking forward to next week lest's hope the weather is just as kind Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted February 20, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Cracking day to pick for my first bunch run of the year. Good company and good weather. Legs were a bit sore afterwards, given it was the longets run I've done since about September! Not sure when I'm going to make another run out.
