Big Al Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 10:00am Langbank 10 miles  Could we have a show of hands please for Saturday, also if somebody would like to take their turn of timekeeping then please make yourself known.  The start is in Langbank, just along from The Wheelhouse restaurant. The course runs up the B789 all the way to the roundabout at Houston, where you turn and re-trace most of the way back to Langbank. The end of the course cuts off before the last steep sections and finishes at the entrance to Gleddoch Country Club.  A slightly undulating course, reasonably quiet road for those keen to do their first TT, open to those who intend to join the club or are already a member. Relaxed and friendly event (might hurt a little in places though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted March 18, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Pulling an on call week again, so I can come along and do some shoving off. Can't do timekeeping in case I get called away though, and taking part would be problematic, quite apart from both road going bikes being unwell.

Guest George Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Could anyone intending to ride please have the courtesy to post up. Â Not much point in just Iain & I turning up & timing each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions KarenG Posted March 21, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Hi George, I'm up for it! Might take me a while  Drove the route this afternoon-some potholes on the return leg between the wooded section and the Gleddoch turnoff-just a heads-up.

DavieB Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Iain and Alan thanks for timekeeping and shoving off and Billy for general encouragement and cheer leading.  Was a bit of an ad-hoc decision to ride and tbh I would have taken a less hilly and slower paced route to Langbank if I had a firm plan to take part but when I saw big George on his std road bike the decision was made  The effort certainly made the hilly route back home interesting Phils Folly being a particular joy.  Anymore and I might have to consider getting one of those funny looking bikes.  Well done all for taking part.  D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest George Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Thanks to the Iains for timekeeping & shoving on a chilly morning. Â I'm getting slower. Â Nothing more to say on the matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions GrahamF Posted March 22, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Thanks to Iain for timekeeping, and to Alan and Billy for the start and encouragement. Â It was a good route, overall a better surface than I'm used to riding on, even a bit of sunshine. It's a pity there wasn't a bigger turnout.
