2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted June 6, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Due to popular demand, it is proposed to run a confined APR on Thursday 13th June. It is proposed to meet at the road end into the Peesweep Scout Camp on the top of the Braes at 18:45 for a 19:00 start. Due to dangerous right turns, the circuit previously used at Peesweep is not advised and instead a straight should be taken at the cross roads (where we used to turn right) and join back on to the circuit. (I'll try and post the route from mapmyride later this week). The advantage of this reduced circuit is that if anyone is off the pace, they can get back on to a group far quicker. This is a confined training event and the idea would be to split into three or possibly four groups set off at agreed intervals for a set number of laps. While it would be the case of first across the line is the "winner", it is more about training and working well together as small groups. Please post below if you are going.

IMO the right turn at the crossroads is no more dangerous than the new proposal of going straight on, after all, the traffic from left and right has priority, and you will have to slow and watch for traffic whatever you do.

2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted June 6, 2013 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 are we not going to be allocated to the cotton wool group I think that those who are racing can go in the scratch group and the rest of us in the earlier ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted June 6, 2013 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 IMO the right turn at the crossroads is no more dangerous than the new proposal of going straight on, after all, the traffic from left and right has priority, and you will have to slow and watch for traffic whatever you do. Darryl, It wasn't the right turn at the cross roads that is the bad one. It was the one back round where you have a blind right then almost straight into a left. A few years ago James MacDonald nearly went over the bonnet of a van (he hit the wing mirror if I remember!). Agree that at the cross roads you will need to slow anyway, but from memory it is quite open. Thinks this is a link to the route - http://www.mapmyride.../view/222139939 5 laps?
