Guest Ross Toole Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Well the bog was full of excrement for me today. Was looking forward to a hard ride with a bunch made fully (apart from one) of joasin riders. Alan, Paul, mark, Andy,iain,Davy. It was hard riding until port where a broken spoke ended it for me! Got picked up top of the Cline and early bath. Thanks Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted February 16, 2013 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Very bad luck Ross. Turns out the WC bunch were JWCC plus Tam Gordon. So we got on with it up the coast and rode a steady 21 plus average from Bishopton to Largs. Rewarded ourselves with a brief sortie to Bagel Basket. Then up to W Kilbride minus Iain and Davy who preferred the pain of the Healy brae. Great to see Davy back out and spirited rides from everyone made for an excellent 76 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions iain couttie Posted February 16, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 good run today,we could realy crack on when the ross guy pulled a sickie,but i suppose he will be back next week! iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Aye good day in the saddle but probably never gladder to reach the descent into Kilbirnie as I had definitely reached a very dark place on the ascent of the Healy. Thanks to everybody for dragging me round and hopefully now finally heading in the right direction. Sore legs the noo! D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GEORGE DONNELLY Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Bah! BB was making alarming crunching noises as soon as I left the house, Went as far at Renfrew Road b4 doing the sensible thing & aborting. To be fair, the BB hasn't been touched for nearly 7 years so no complaints. Headed into a bike shop where the mechanic kindly took the bike he was working on off the stand and replaced my BB & didn't charge for labour. So all fixed up & back out for another go 2moro.

Mark O Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Enjoyed today's run. Seems 60 miles remains my limit at the moment. No matter felt strong early on and was able to test where I am at the moment. Still need to get some serious road miles in. Sorry I had to bale at kilbirnie, I'd never have gotten back up the road in time. Legs feel like they've been worked today so I'm a happy bunny.

GraemeB Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 George, with service like that surely the bike shop needs a name check ?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted February 16, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Cracking day with a strong pace. Good to have Davie back in the bunch. Once we hit the Cloch a stiff headwind down to Largs meant singling up. Thanks Paul for the tow over the Dalry climb. Great bunch spirit today!

Committee Alan McLean Posted February 16, 2013 Committee Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Yes it was a Joansin bunch braving the rain today with the kooryers elsewhere training for the TT on Sunday. 11 became 9 became 6 became 4 as we headed round to West Kilbride where Paul stamped on the gas. Rain, wind, mist, mud: it's all good training for switching on Eurosport, cracking a Leffe and shouting at Tom in a few weeks time.

Guest GEORGE DONNELLY Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Billy, Hold the nut to the left side of your neck & screw the bolt in from the other side. Simples.

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted February 23, 2013 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Another belter for me , Colin and Davy. Very very cold though. Good pace to Inverclyde then eased to Largs unusually. Got on with it after Largs. Chapeau Colin saw you were still in the mix at Kilwinning. Was all a haze after that.

Colin McPhee Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Fell off the back just at the end of the climb out of Kilwinning . Good show from Paul driving on the front most of the way from Ardrossan. Stopped to help one of the guys from one of the other clubs who had punctured. Just as well cause he discovered his pump was gubbed Hard going but great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Aye good fun even managed a few turns on the front this week. Wee effort on the rise before Stevenson done for me and the run home from Kilwinning could only be described as grovelling with the wee leg bender just before Kilbirnie excruciating - bike bites man.
