Committee Alan McLean Posted June 1, 2012 Author Committee Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hmm. According to Strava I cycled 371km in 44 mins on my ride to work today. It seems I started in North Wales. Anyone else having odd readings? Anyway I am having a poor time regaining my KOM records because most of mine were set with a howling tailwind Bring on autumn. PS Has anyone tried out Oude Port Glasgow? Sustained 9% through the middle of town for 1 mile, finishes up the Muur van Dougliehill.

Phil Malcolm Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Gah so close! http://app.strava.com/runs/9912754/ Ran out of road more than anything! Had 10 minutes to play with at the top of Brisbane Glen Road and still needed 75m of climbing. I'm tempted to try again and just descend a bit further down towards Inverkip and Largs on the last 2 climbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted June 2, 2012 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I'm not a strava user but I do like the idea of the 2 hour ride thingy. When you guys get the routes sorted we could use one for training. What about the old midweek hilly around langbank,.westglen etc. That has got to be a good candidate?

Paul C Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I Assume it it was a 'normal' road bike? Anyway you are only 14 s faster so I had better get some speed training done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted June 5, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Paul - indeed it was just my road bike. Can't go any faster at the moment, well, not without a good tailwind! Greig - Alan has also had some issues. If you are having problems then just email the Strava support telling them what is wrong and copy in a link to the ride. They should be able to fix it for you. I found them incredibly helpful.

Guest Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hello Stravwegians, Can someone tell me where the clune segment starts & finishes? Ta, George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jannza Posted June 5, 2012 Administrators Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Start is as you come off the roundabout (beside lidl) finish is as roundabout at top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted June 5, 2012 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 George, I created the "Clune-Kilmacolm Road" segment which starts at the same bit as the "Clune" (just by Lidl), but it finishes at the layby we stop at on a Thursday night. This covers all of the climbing effort out of the Port on a Thursday night. I see Alan and Duncan have done the very steep wee back road climb up out of Port Glasgow, that finishes up the Devol climb! Brutal! I get out of breath driving up it!

I see a fortune to be made from the movie rights, t-shirts etc, not to mention loads of pairs of free running shoes from endorsment of her chosen brand.

Committee Alan McLean Posted June 5, 2012 Author Committee Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hello Stravwegians, Can someone tell me where the clune segment starts & finishes? Ta, George. Hi George You can select and zoom in on segments in satellite view. That will show you start/end of segments within a couple of metres. Main Clune is roundabout to roundabout. Happy riding Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Committee Alan McLean Posted June 7, 2012 Author Committee Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Doing it in a group is clearly cheating You may surpass the mark but your record will have an asterisk next to it... Quite right Phil. As head com I take a very dim view of aided attempts. But I am minded to let it stand if successful because: a) a successful, albeit cheated, attempt will provide a benchmark and spur the REAL hard men in the club to greater effort and because the main protagonists are going to feel dog sick if they manage it Rule 34.1.a states that the route should be entirely confined to the 1:25000 OS map of Greenock etc. but the committee may waive this in extenuating circumstances. (Also Howwood is a bit far and I was hoping for a route from my backdoor) Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
