2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted June 22, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Great race today mr and mrs marshalls and organisers and signer onners and drivers. Thank you all very much for enabling 3 of us to race. Paul As for race it was pretty unrelenting, circuit proved testing with the loose chip section sapping energy before the climb each lap. Hugh just seems to float up the climb whlist most are rocking and rolling, huffin and puffin. Me and hugh got to the end in the bunch and we both finished mid bunch. I tried very hard to sprint but legs locked up, sat down for a sec, tried again but it was not going to happen. Race had just been too demanding. Great to be racing as always.

DavieB Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Well said Paul ...thanks to all who made this happen, even the weather worked out in the end! 4th time up the hill was too much for me ...the fact that a fair few others were tailed off at the same time was at least some consolation. The couple of hundred yards worth of gravel beforehand fairly brutalised the legs before the road even started going up and caused splits as you really had to stick on a single line for fear of losing it so couldn't get round people to get up the road. Again no excuses from me ...no patch on the young fit guys who are coming through including a super strong Hugh or the older experienced racers who have been doing it for years ...step forward Mr McDonald. Forget a Ribble Stealth I need a Yamaha R1 or .........an audax bike. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 BTW...I enjoyed it while it lasted Also should mention it's almost a surreal sight to watch Hugh serenely float up the climbs and pass you as you and most around you are eyeballs out...great stuff!

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted June 22, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 D Don't compromise. Get the stealth. It will do absolutely fine as an audax or sportive bike when you want to do them. Also, you're only a low single figure % away from hinging on to the end. The good news is the final % point is in the head. Hugh, well done, indeed lots of potential there, you are one of the most natural climbers I've ever had the discomfort to observe at close quarters !

Guest EPCC Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Guys can I say from the apprentice organiser thanks to all the drivers marshals bakers and very body else who helped put this on This is the first time I have done such a thing and much praise should go to Kenny for making sure everything needed to be done is done I think a prestiges club such as ours should be running these events however to do so we need the help of all so quoting Churchill never has so much been owed to such few Thanks KennyS and Ramsay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GEORGE DONNELLY Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Have to say that from where I was standing that looked pretty brutal. Checked Richard Provan's strava which showed a 24.5mph average! & this is a development race! All 3 Johnstonians acquitted themselves very well. Not only is young Hugh an obvious talent but he always seemed to be perfectly positioned. The sooner he gets a burd & starts on the bevvy, the better Well done to all! p.s. I didn't take a cake: cos I'm in training mode. Ramsay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted June 22, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 My computer said 24.8 average and it felt like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Posted June 22, 2013 Members Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 More than ever before, fair play, lads. Finishing in the bunch at that sort of average speed is classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted June 22, 2013 Committee Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 In the lead car we only saw one break of up to 30 secs. Your average speed shows how difficult it would be to get away from the bunch. Great work by the riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted June 23, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Just to say congratulations to all and also to Billy and Kenny on organising such a great race! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Billy, you build it and they'll come. I'm sure I speak for most when I say we are all happy to muck in and make sure every runs to plan. On the point of the tempo yesterday, I was regularly in the high 30s in front of the bunch with the riders not any getting smaller in my mirrors. The rate of knots up the various ramps was pretty good. That said the big boys were going up some of Glasgow's notable ramps chew sing on mars bars. It's all relative I suppose. Well done Billy and Kenny for putting a successful event together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyS Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Can only echo Billy's comments BC events require more work and therefore more volunteers and the club came to the fore again Well done to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
