Mark O Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 No worries. Will ride regardless. Open invite to others to meet at Morrisons around 6.20 pm. I don't intend waiting though unless there's a definite post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Charlie - usual start? Was thinking of a slightly truncated route given the fading light now. Possible left turn once out of Dunlop taking the Neilston road into Neilston and then onto Barrhead. Will decide on the night. Lights front and back a must. Darryl might joins us.

Mark O Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 James, you're far too polite. You are a wheeler and have 2 wheels thus you're more than welcome and indeed entitled to come along. 6.20 at the traffic lights at the entrance to Morrisons. On a par with the pace from Saturday, perhaps a little quicker. The group generally stays together until the latter half of the climb out of Stewarton and regroups after the descent. Before that we will ease up a little over ramps to allow bodies to get back on. Not eyeballs out but a strong pace. Looks fair out at present - ideal conditions. I think the intention should be to get the usual route done. I'd bring lights (front and rear) for the dash for home gents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest james mck Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Thanks for a very tough run tonight, for me anyway. But enjoyable experience, good to get out of my comfort zone , can only make me stronger. Thanks again guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 James based on your efforts on Saturday and again this evening you're doing pretty good. As I said on the other thread get into the main bunch and do a winter of long steady miles to build endurance and become accustom to the cruising speed. Once that foundation is established you can build in the higher intensity efforts and be able to keep going. Speak to Billy mac about turbo work. look at the improvement in Alan T and Alan McL. Both rode their way into the main bunch and made notable gains. Alan McL rode Paris Roubaix this year. All good and you'd be a welcome addition to the miserable collective that is the main bunch.

Carvill Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Enjoyed it, good to get out on new routes (for me) and good a good crack with you all. So thanks and look forward to next time. I hit the wall towards the end and the last 5 miles on me jack jones was fun! James, I thought you rode well and like Mark says a winter packed with steady miles will pay dividends for next year.

2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted September 10, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Should have mentioned that we met mr and mrs Muirhead on the road. Great to see you both and hope this is the first of many outings for you Ramsay. You certainly managed the Bowfield climb at a canter.

2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted September 10, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Good to see you guys, even if only for a short while. Both of us are starting to slowly build up the miles, so hope to be around a bit more. Cheers, R Mark O 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexb Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Really enjoyed last night guys. Tough run, fantastic evening and a few solo miles in the pitch black after seeing Paul most of the way along Georgetown. What's the thoughts on next week? (I certainly need some clear lenses for my glasses!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark O Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Will post truncated route for next week. Was a good wee group last night and pretty full on up from Stewarton once we hit the new tarmac. Pity we are at the wrong end of the summer.
