Mark O Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Billy, as per usual gold star for initiative. I'm tendering we do exactly what we did last winter. It worked well for those who did a bit of racing and all those who went to Italy were in good shape. The weather and road conditions will dictate where we go for the most part. So for me coast, coast and a little bit more coast is called for. Milder weather might allow some in land runs such as Troon or an up the Bowfield and down to kilwinning before a run up the coast but if its icy at all the usual run down the A78 will do. Throw in the odd Helensburgh run and we'll be fine. Those that get bored can elect to do 3 hours on the turbo. Pace was good today given its the first weekend in Nov. We'll moan and groan no doubt but we'll still turn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeB Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Not sure how you can plan on upping the miles to 80 in January when we could have a brutal winter. Anyway, i'm only looking for about 50-60 miles in the winter so will probably bail early if or when i go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EPCC Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Planning is simple you will be able to do a full coast throughout January unless we have heavy snow and if we do you use plan B simple Anyway posting a run at the last minute is lacking insight I think the majority have agreed on something like above with effort and distance gradually increasing up to the reliability rides in Febiary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeB Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Billy that is fine. You asked for opinions, so I gave mine. We don't all have to agree, that is the beauty of forums such as this one. As I said, I'm not looking for big miles in winter so I will either bail out or do my own thing. No big deal. I know one certain other club posts their runs on a Thursday evening and nobody moans or complains about 'lacking insight'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EPCC Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I also go with the flow which unless I am mistaken was do as we did last year But to be honest getting a bit pissed of with all the gripes so I don't really care anymore So I will post up to jdecember then fill your boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I must admit I have trouble understanding why people have issues with Billy Mac being a rabid repeat poster of main bunch runs. If it weren't for MacBagel taking the time to post the main bunch might self implode. Month after month the bloke posts, along with one or two stalwarts, looking for suggestions or telling us where we are going on any given Sunday. Shrinking violet he is not but his enthusiasm can't be questioned. You probably don't need me to say so but you post a run Billy, and I and a few others will turn up at miller street and ride it.

GreigS Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Billy take a bow if it wasn't off you posting runs the main bunch would go the same way as the intermediates think of the bunch the 30 milers would have then Greig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
