2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted June 18, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Great to see some local names in there. A couple that I could give a hard time to back in 2011! If I had been fit, it would have been great to have raced against some of the countries best (even to be on the same start sheet would have been cool)!

KennyS Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm planning on heading for the junction of the A736 just south of the Blair Tavern. There'e a curry house 2mins down the road as well which does sit in or takeaway for a wee roadside dinner. North Ayrshire's equivalent of vin rouge et baquette Either that Stewarton itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted June 19, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Had a meeting in the south side of Glasgow this afternoon, so came home via Stewarton. Could find any decent places to park up for tomorrow, but did pass three GB riders out on the circuit. One of them nearly got himself killed as he overtook a pick-up and trailer who was only going slowly because of the other two in front. He pulled out at a narrowing of the road, right as a van came the opposite direction. Both van and pick-up drivers were bloody furious, and rightly so. Eventually passed the team car, where the pick-up driver got out and gave the coach an earful. With one unnecessary move (just before a hill where he was re-passed anyway!) that is almost certainly two more drivers on the "cyclist haters" list. What is worse is that whether they like it or not, team GB riders are suppose to set some sort of example. Didn't mean to turn this into a rant, but as cyclist we often get treated like crap on the roads, so seeing people give "us" a bad name really pisses me off! Looking forward to tomorrow night though! Cheers, Mr Angry From Ayrshire! Richard, Phil Malcolm and Mark O 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Cowden Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Couldn't manage out for the afternoon's racing as planned unfortunately, but really enjoyed the men's event in the evening. Quite superb performances from two ex- JWCC riders - Iain Grant 12th, at 2.44 from from the winner and 3 time champion Alex Dowsett, and Ben Peacock 8th, at 2.16 from the winner. Tremendous efforts against world class pro riders -sheer class and courage. Many congratulations to them both and to the otherScots riders.
