AllanM Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Anyone else doing the Braveheart event on Saturday 25th October? http://www.braveheartfund.co.uk/EventDetail.asp?e_Tab=WhereWhen Chris Hoy, David Millar & Sean Kelly and some other pros are riding, apparently. It's only a 44 mile route so AndrewD, Foxy and me are planning to cycle to/from Kilmarnock from clubrooms. Last year we left at 8am, modest pace down, register, coffee, snack, started 10.30.

alexb Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sound like a good day. Did you sign up as a group? I noticed they're starting in waves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllanM Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 The waves are on a "first come, first served" basis. It's pretty informal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life Members chung Posted October 16, 2014 Life Members Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hi Allan, Which way will you guys being heading down to Kilmarnock? If youse are passing Stewarton/Fenwick, then I can join you on the way down. I'm interested in doing it too but haven't signed up yet.

AllanM Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hi Chung Good to hear from you. Haven't seen you for ages, do you owe me money or something?!? I think the obvious route from the clubrooms is Lugton, Dunlop, Stewarton and Kilmarnock....but not Fenwick. So meeting in Stewarton sounds good. Let's confirm the time next week. Cheers ALlan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Fox Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Meet at club rooms 08:15? Anyone know the way to Kilmarnock??!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted October 24, 2014 Life Members Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hi Alan, I plan to meet youse in Stewarton, the Main Street traffic lights where we usually go straight pass on the way to Moscow (does that make sense) say 8.40am by the time you guys head over from the clubroom. As for the route to Kilmarnoch, I'm sure we'll manage it between us Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest George Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 25 minutes from clubrooms to Stewarton? That's optimistic-even in a car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life Members chung Posted October 24, 2014 Life Members Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Iain, I missed the on line entry as well, so I'll blag my way into the ride. :-) I think they'll take entry on the day but don't quote me on this :-) Hope to see you tomorrow!

2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted October 24, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Are you taking the A77 or Dodside road on the way down? I might go that way rather than going to the clubrooms first so could meet you on the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted October 24, 2014 Life Members Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Iain, Latest change of plan on getting to the start, I've just been informed that most are driving down to Kilmarnock due to unpredictable weather. So, I'll decide what I'm doing in the morning, therefore I don't want to make plans with you but then can't keep to it. Maybe it's best if we meet at the start, sorry about that Iain! Hope to see you tomorrow nonetheless! Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should know this lesson by now - never attempt a minor repair the night before an event! http://www.braveheartfund.co.uk/Community/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13974 Thanks for the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted October 25, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 How did it go? Ended up chickening out and going to the velodrome instead, 22 degrees no wind and no rain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted October 25, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 It was great Iain, ive done it a couple of times before and today was by far the toughest, wind was brutal on the way home from the Mearns, and the horizontal rain didn't help, bit the free macaroni cheese at the end was awesome, rode very briefly in Sean Kellys wheel, but didn't fancy trying to hold that pace for the next 35 miles, so just let him get on with it. Great show of Joansin Jets out too :-) thejanullrichdietplan and KennyS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
