AndrewD Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I hope to make it out. Couple of questions: Is it the first bus stop on the Houston rd after the roundabout? Looks a bit wet too, is it summer bikes and dirty faces or winter bikes and muddies? Cheers Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions gregbalden Posted April 25, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Ill be out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted April 25, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Might be able to make this depending on finishing work in time. However if anyone is reluctant to have someone doing their first wheelers ride in the chain gang i'll understand and not bother. Or i suppose i could ride at the back behind everyone to keep out the way (a cunning excuse for some wheel sucking) I know this is different to what it would be like on a weekend club ride so when i'm dropped i'm dropped etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewD Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 My first week too, my only ambition is to make it to the clune. After that its a bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Don't worry - those who have not done it before wil get a full 10 second briefing at the start and get shouted at during the run! :-) Charlie asked me to take charge this week as he is getting wet in Majorca so that means I get to set the pace!

AndrewD Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Cheers guys, got dropped at the top of clune before we even started, stuck behind an Audi. Hope to try again next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GEORGE DONNELLY Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Epic! The bogs bunch caught us going down bishy hill & we all got stuck into the headwind. Some of us went up the clune. Some took the shortcut. Regroup at the top then motored it on the way home. 3 got away along the Georgetown & I came 2nd in what was left of the group. Loads of guys got tailed off so chapeau to the JWCC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted April 25, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Truly epic chain gang. Thanks to couriers and others for a fun evenings cycle. After regroup at the top of Clune the bunch were strung out all the was to BoW. You could hear the elastic snapping as 3 guys got away. A bunch 6 including Georgie, Greg, James and myself started chasing them down. I lost their wheel at Houston roundabout so head down to try and catch them all the way to the finish. Later George said how he thought he'd catch me on the Clune. Oh how we laughed! He's so very funny! Good to meet Ian tonight and almost meet Andrew who both acquitted themselves well! Hugh did his splendid 'I can float up hills thing'. Never fail to be impressed by that! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted April 26, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Thanks for showing me the ropes, hope i didnt do anything too daft. Enjoyable and painful in equal measures. The wee hill after the lights at Bridge of Weir had me dropped - i've riden it a few times before and never really thought it as a hill - different story with legs burning and trying to get back on the bunch!

Guest GEORGE DONNELLY Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Jan, You just have to position yourself near the front so you can slide back down the group without getting tailed off. Gets easier with experience. You certainly have the legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
