2023 Subscriptions GrahamF Posted March 12, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'm planning on calling by the club rooms on the way to the Time Trial and calling in at the cafe at Lochwinnoch afterwards. Including around 10 miles for the time trail, and depending on the route chosen after Lochwinnoch this should come in at about 30 miles. 9 o'clock at Miller St. if anyone would like to join me for a gentle 'warm up' run to the start of the TT.

2023 Subscriptions KarenG Posted March 12, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hi Graham, hmmm tempting. Have you done a tt before? Is this a hilly 10 mile course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions GrahamF Posted March 12, 2014 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Karen, I've done a couple on Georgetown Road (Inchinnan to Houston) in previous years, but not this one though I've been on all the roads that it uses! You went on some of it on the reliability run to Moscow, it does undulate but nothing to serious - and that means there are some downs where you can have a rest! To me it's about the fun of taking part, being restricted to a low gear won't make the ups any more difficult! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LenMcD Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Junction in Lochwinnoch has been closed Sundays. One at loch should be open for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Karen, Go along and give it a bash. The confined events are all about putting down a personal marker against which you can compete against. There will undoubtedly be a little bit of rivalry between guys and girls who ride in the same bunch but nothing more than bragging rights on the ride home. Don't let the thought of hills or undulations put you off. Always good to get your first confined event under your belt and generally speaking you'll do better than you imagine you will.

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted March 14, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I meant the route to the course, not the course route. If that makes sense. The course route has been posted elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions GrahamF Posted March 14, 2014 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Len, I was was thinking of the cafe at the loch, The Junction cafe doesn't have much room to park bikes Alan, Yes that's the way I am thinking of going. Ian, Your description of the route seems to correspond with the MapMyRide route that Greig linked to in the main TT post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions KarenG Posted March 15, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hi guys, what do I have to bring to restrict my gears tomorrow-cable ties?
