2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted July 5, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 After 5 weeks on the Georgetown, the confined events head for Uplawmoor for the next two weeks. Tuesday 9th July is the first of the 25mile TTs on the A736 near Uplawmoor. The start is shown here: - http://www.johnstone-wheelers.co.uk/events/event/1/2mtfo430mlosr04si94f7hoq0o If that is not clear, here are words from Jim and Vicky from a few years ago:- Jim - A736 Barrhead to Irvine Road. Start at the old Builders Yard/garage on the Barrhead side of Shilford Hamlet which is near Uplamoor and head towards Irvine until the first roundabout and return. Vicky - 'Shilford, Lochlibo Rd, Neilston, Glasgow, Lanarkshire G78, UK', stick this into Google maps. Get to Barrhead, probably via the Clyde Tunnel, Cardonald, Hurlet. Turn right at the roundabout in Barrhead along the Main St and head through the town - taking a mainly uphill direction. Follow signs for Irvine, stay on the main rd A736. This is the road the route follows. Travel about 5miles out this road, Shilford is missable if you blink so try not to! if you are coming onto A736 from Caldwell Golf Club, you should turn LEFT back towards Barrhead and pass below Uplawmoor. Either way SHILFORD is before Uplawmoor as you drive from Barrhead towards Irvine. Meet at 18:45 for a 7pm (latest) start. Any volunteers for timekeeping?

Guest EPCC Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Ramsay Which roundabout, the new one or the old min one ? Fancy having a go as never ever finished one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreigS Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 The start is outside CJS signs just along from the petrol station and Henry Crawford coaches you stay on the road and when you pass Torranyard caravan park ( about 1/2 a mile more ) there is a small round about this is where you turn back and the finish line is about 200 yards further down the road from the start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest john_s Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Seriously, will the time keeper still be there when I get back? Haven't ridden a 25 for over 45 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to time keepers and sunny weather iain If it was a club run I was out with the 30 milers tonight, taking it a bit too easy on the hills on the way back, brutal! Hard and hot night, 5 minutes slower on the way home Thanks very much to the timekeepers and helpers, it was a nice night for standing about tho!

Mark O Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 EPO withdrawal pangs more likely after your blast on Sunday G. That or you took Billy's advice to go deep into the red in the first 500 metres of a TT to heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
