DavieB Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Have crossed all fingers and toes and hope I am fit for the weekend. If so I was planning a Saturday run avoiding the coast road if possible and aiming for some country air and rolling roads interspersed with a few hills. The only other pre-requisite is I need to stay local (for me) in case my legs, lungs, sinus' etc give out and don't want to be holding anybody up. This being the case an East Ayrshire route is on the cards i.e. Transmitter Hill or surrounding area. As for pace - not particularly fit at the moment but don't want to dawdle about either (if that makes any sense??). If interested post - and I will go for a 09:00hrs start.

Guest EPCC Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Ross It's not a club run so no rules apply Might be out but more likely to do short run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Common sense should apply. If it's dry summer bikes OK. If it's peeing down mudguards required. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted March 8, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Forecast is for strong cold easterly winds on Saturday. Just sayin' Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Forecast is for strong cold easterly winds on Saturday. Just sayin' Andy Your reading my mind......why don't we arrange to meet at 09:00hrs and make a judgement call. Would still prefer to avoid the coast (and worst of the winds) but could stay relatively local (Dunlop,Barmill, Kilmaurs type area) and maybe take in some circuits at Barmill as part of the run. Something a bit different. Cheers, D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GEORGE DONNELLY Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Forecast is for strong cold easterly winds on Saturday. Just sayin' Andy I think this is called "March in Scotland" I think Andy is hinting at a bagel basket run. Lets just see what the consensus is on Saturday morning* *I'm experiencing shoogly rear wheel-itis so if I'm not there I'll likely be stood on Foxbar Road shouting at my bike.

Guest Ross Toole Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Did someome say bagel basket????? Will be there at 9! Unfortunately I wont have muddies on :twisted leer !! Know how you feel Geo, I have a shoggly front and rear wheel so if not there I will be somwhere in Howwood shouting at mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GEORGE DONNELLY Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Have ordered new bearings for my training wheels but if the weather is dryish I'll be out on the Cervelo (complete with new zipps) Lets see how long they last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 No worries guys ....a coast run not what my inner coach has ordered so will give this one a miss and head into the badlands instead. Hopefully see you at the TT on Sunday. Cheers, D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted March 8, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Davie What r u doing to me. Gumley Donnelly and toole will have no sympathy for my delicate state but with you there I will at least get a fair hearing. my recollection is that as u posted run you decide on day where we r going. You can tell those 3 it is an alternative coast route. Trust me they won't be any the wiser. Cu all tomorrow at 9 bells. Scott bike 4 me as just realised ribble still bust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted March 8, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I think to be fair that we should make decision on Saturday morning.I think a ride in an easterly direction to transmitter hill might be hard going but if we take decent turns it might be okay, tail wind home will be nice. Alternatively we choose a route that allows us to hide a bit. Main thing is getting 60/70 miles. Regarding Davie's Inner Coach..... Important to nurture, be kind, warm and forgiving to your inner coach (even when they're angry with you) without being submissive to them. We need to understand Davie's inner coach and I think letting Davie ride alone with him would not be a good example of team spirit!

Guest Ross Toole Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 David, you posted run u get first dibs! Lets y'all ride as one and keep our inner coaches at peace, see u at 9! X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
