2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted January 17, 2014 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 THIS IS IT Saturday 10th May 7am at Ardrossan. Start planning your marginal gains for Project Double A. See your physio, chiro, life coach, dietician, whatever it takes, but most of all see your psychiatrist (Andy, you available ?)

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted April 6, 2014 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Also posted on facebook tonight, Just a reminder we are on for May 10th. Have many people keen to give it a bash from Glasgow road club, Ayr roads, Fullarton, Couriers, Ivy, EK Road club and of course Johnstone Wheelers, could be quite a day. Due to world we live in just need to mention this is not an organised event, it is not a race, there is no first aid, insurance or service. It is simply a group of mates meeting for a bike ride and taking part at their own risk Hope you are all secret training Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted April 6, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'll take part. Can't guarantee more then 1 lap, and probably not in between the first and second ferry, but I can always use the miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Paul, you do realise the good folk of Arran will have a fit if a bunch of 30+ riders take over the roads of their island. You might even make the Arran Banner front page............. I'm in (assuming I survive this weekend). M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted April 21, 2014 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 2 WEEKS AND 5 DAYS TO GO. Time to look deep into yourself and ask some real searching questions like do I want to be part of something that transcends Flanders, Le Tour, even life itself?

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted May 5, 2014 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Almost upon us. Was thinking about a few tactical things - if going for the 2 lapper, I thought it would be an idea to stop a mile or so outside Brodick and stash a bottle of water and extra food supplies behind a tree or such like and then have a very short (2 min max) stop to refill bottles and pockets before lap 2. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin McPhee Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 This year I will be mostly staying on Arran on Friday night ! I am going to cycle down after work on Friday and will meet you guys off the ferry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted May 6, 2014 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Posted on facebook a minute ago, So we're on for the 7am ferry on Saturday. Arrive 0755, if joining for one loop then ferry back is 1105, if going for the double then ferry back is 1350. There is an extra return ferry at 1230 for any mechanical mishaps. And if the double attempt misses the ferry at 1350, which it won't, then next one is at 1515 so time for a pint and commiserate. Should be at least a dozen fit bodies there and up for the challenge !
