Iain Cowden Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I will miss out this week as I will be travelling to Lancashire. Others are keen to keep the Saturday run going and Chung I think is happy to suggest a possible route! So, same time (9.30) same place(Miller St) same house rules! I hope the weather is kind and you have a good run out. I'll take my bike with me and hope to do likewise! The next week-end takes us up to the Sunday Reliability Series. Folk may understandably prefer to ride those. Nevertheless, there may be some who a Saturday suits best, or who are happy to ride both days. Weather permitting, I will be up for a Saturday over the next few weeks so will post as usual. Iain+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Cross Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Boo to the Saturday run!! What's happened to the traditional Sunday? Looks like I'll have no-one to go out with on Sun...maybe Paisley Velo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted January 23, 2013 Life Members Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Alright Folks, The weather forecast for Saturday is not great, but it should be warmer but dull. Initially, I was hoping to cross the bridge and maybe climb some hills but I think we can decide on the days depending on the out come of the weather. The alternative can be Jonhstone - Bowfield - Lugton - Stewarton - Part Moscow circuit - A77 - Whitelee Windfarm - Eaglesham - Newton Mearns - Neilston - Home. Approx. 50ish miles I think, maybe more! See you all at the clubroom 9.30am! Finger crossed for better weather! Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions BoydJohnston Posted January 24, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I should be there, Chung. Weather forecast is still too cold for golf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodyc Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I will keep an eye on this and hopefully manage to get out again. When the route is decided i can look for bail out options if the legs are anything like last week Spoke to Andy Jack in work the other day and he is also a possibility for Sat morning. Ritchie you don't start your Sat backshift till 4pm so you can make it along as well ðŸ‘ðŸ‘👠Jody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Richard Posted January 24, 2013 Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 hoping to get out this saturday, can i ask what pace you go at? I'm not very fast Are you one of the two girls we passed at the Glengarnock end of the track three weeks ago? You were looking for the Renfrew bunch. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewD Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Alright, I'm up for Saturday. High ground may not be the best option Chung with the forecasted snow.Although you have better odds on the lottery, than on predicting the weather.

2023 Subscriptions BoydJohnston Posted January 24, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 hoping to get out this saturday, can i ask what pace you go at? I'm not very fast Emma, pace last Saturday overall was just over 15mph average for me, with 75 miles on the clock. The previous week was a bit faster over a similar distance.

Members Richard Posted January 24, 2013 Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 hi Richard, yes that was me and my sister Glad to see you eventually found someone to cycle with. :-) I think we gave you about a 20-minute head start that Saturday, while we were waiting for Iain C at Morrisons. Based on the fact we caught you before the end of the track - riding at a pretty sedate pace - you might find it a bit faster than you're used to. You should give it a go, I reckon - it's the only way you'll find out what it's like and Chung will keep the pace sensible. (The forecast looks pretty rubbish, though.)

Life Members chung Posted January 24, 2013 Life Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Thanks for everyone that posted! Richard, are you coming or are you working again? Emma, don't worry about the speed, just turn up & ride in the bunch. Just remember to bring water & food (bananas & bars) even though we'll more than lightly stop for tea/coffee! Andrew, you're right about the weather, obviously if the temperature is too bad then we'll avoid the really high hills. Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Posted January 24, 2013 Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I've got the day off, Chung, but I'm not sure what I'm doing yet. It'll depend on the weather and how sore I am after the turbo tomorrow. I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Cross Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Jody..after a 2am finish I'll be in my bed. Took the Sunday off so I wouldn't have to worry about work after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted January 24, 2013 Life Members Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Richard, geeze a text one way or the other. I'll be riding from the toon centre again & can hook up with you on the squinty if you want! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma MacLaren Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 ok thanks, well if the weather improves i should be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Posted January 25, 2013 Members Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 There's a weather warning for ice until 12. I'm going to give it a miss, folks. Take care if you go out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted January 25, 2013 Life Members Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Well folks, where I am in N. Mearns it's totally covered with the white stuff. It's fine in the city centre, I'm not sure what its like around your neck of the woods? Any report would be much appreciated so we can assess the riding situation for tomorrow. As Richard indicated, tomorrow's forecast should be dry but cold which could maybe mean ice on the roads. Any idea guys/gals? I'll check back later on tonight for any updates.

AndrewD Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Unfortunately haven't been near the main roads today, but my side road is poor, maybe best to meet at Johnstone station instead of miller st. Everyone check the blog in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted January 25, 2013 Life Members Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hi Everyone, Local sources told me that the area around the clubroom is not suitable for cycling both on & off the main road, and I'm not sure what the situation is like with the road condition of the propose route. Therefore, I think it's best if we call the run off since there no point in risking it in my opinion. If folks can assess their local road conditions & I'll try to check on the route tomorrow, then I'm more than happy to do the run Sunday morning! You got what you wished for, Ritchie! So, I won't be at the clubroom tomorrow, for those who are still going out tomorrow morning please stay safe & take great care! Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions BoydJohnston Posted January 25, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Currently raining here in Paisley. I'll check in again in the morning. Unless anyone posts otherwise, I'll assume tomorrow's run is off and we may try for Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodyc Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Yeah raining here in Renfrew and just back in from walking the dog and the temp has dropped quite a bit. Got a feeling the roads will be like an ice rink in a few hours 😞. Hopefully they will be better for Sunday and we can try again then ðŸ‘ðŸ‘👠Jody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewD Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 From previous responses assuming run is off, cant make tomorrow. Have a good one - Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodyc Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Looks like we all got it wrong for today as the roads appear fine and its a really nice for a ride 😳😳😳 Hopefully this will keep up for tomo and we can get a few miles in.

Life Members chung Posted January 26, 2013 Life Members Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Jody, Where I am is still covered with snow & the roads were really slippery this morning. Lets keep an eye out & I'll post up later to confirm a run for tomorrow morning! P.S How can I edit the post title to change the date for tomorrow?
