Colin McPhee Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Good run today - so much for the zone 2 session ! however a wee habble before the bagel basket didn't do any harm and kept us all warm. Well done Mark for keeping us all in line ( not an easy task !) only two wee punctures and a great tail wind up the coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Cross Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Who got the 30? Or was it only second tier sprinters out today!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest George Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Good big bunch out today-good to see Charlie back in the body of the Kirk. Cracking tailwind along the coast but, by the beard of Zeus, that Georgetown was grim. Even "day-glo-Bill" got pumped out at that point. Mr O'Neill is back to his unbearable best, judging by the manner in which he belted along. Good craic. Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted December 15, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Great run today and good sized bunch. If that was zone 2 pace zone 4 will b interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted December 15, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Yeah enjoyable run today, felt quite good up until just before the turn off the A8 for Bishopton then the man with the hammer paid a visit. Was struggling to get over 12mph going round the airport into the wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Most likely the best fun I've had on a bike in ages. Good sized bunch with Charlie back in the mix and going well, belter of a tailwind up the coast, some good craic all day and MacB going pop on the Georgetown -one to treasure coach. This training malarky seems to be working certainly helped into the light breeze in run into Johnstone. Hope everyone got home safe as things became a little dispersed as the wind picked up.

Life Members chung Posted December 15, 2013 Life Members Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Thanks to everyone for letting me hide at the back along the Westferry, the headwind was just horrible & my legs were buckling! Apologies to Andrew for pacing me back to the bunch but then going up the hill into Bishopton I seem to have lost you as I tried to chase back onto the group. I hope you got home ok? Colin's sprint into Bishy just about killed me, had no choice but to let go & thankfully Ian (JanUllich) dragged me through the headwind to Renfrew where I said farewell and headed home with still 20 odd KM to go till home. Did I say it was windy? Got home totally knackered, but with 130k on the clock - happy! Hope everyone got home safely! P.S I think the fact we had a big bunch (I counted 17 at one point) out today made the windy situation just a bit more bearable! See you all next sunday!

Guest EPCC Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Skinny In my defence my pre run included an hour on the rollers then out numerous beers some gin five hours sleep So popping on the Georgetown was not bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted December 15, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Very good run out today, but blew up just after the turn into Greenock. Managed to grind out Georgetown (just) in double figures, but sore all over. Not sure if I'll manage a turbo session tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 MacB, I realise there are tenuous mitigation to be considered. But to be fair it was an uplifting experience to see Charlie go back to get you. I'm sure I heard laughing on the wind. Still a good day and proof that your training program is paying off (for me anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest George Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Billy, I'm sure you agree that Mark was so much more tolerable when he was creeping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewD Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I must agree: great run out today. Chung no worries, my only goal was to get to west ferry with the bunch, and at that I just let it go. The George Town was everything I thought it would be, I'm starting to loathe that road.

2023 Subscriptions BoydJohnston Posted December 16, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Glad to see that a few others found the run hard. Got back to Paisley via Brisbane Glen and the Strone, then the track from KilmColm. Was almost at a standstill coming downhill into the wind off the top above Greenock. Must try harder to stick with the bunch next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
