2023 Subscriptions iain couttie Posted February 7, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Enjoyed my shortened route,lovely climb up past visitors centre at the cut, to old Largs road, then cx rout at the cattle grid on to Kilmalcolm road. A bit of ice but not much. 45miles and a nice warm up for tomorrow. Apologies to those behind me today rear mud guard fell in two, so bike shop visit today. alexb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions George Posted February 7, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Cheers for putting the boot in then slinking off, Couttie! Beautiful day in Renfrew but as we turned to ride over the swing bridge we encountered fog which dropped the temperature by 10 degrees. Anyway, didn't feel great all day so knew the hammer was coming- On the way back in things escalated quickly, guys getting shelled from moment we turned at the Blair restaurant. Went through a couple of times but knew I was out of my depth so sat in but the effort of going round guys being dropped soon took its toll. I eventually succumbed a mile and a half from lugton when I lost impetus by hitting a big pothole & couldn't close a gap of all of two metres. Could see some JWCC heading to Barrhead but turned off for home. Only my 2nd ride over 50 miles in last two months so happy enough with my effort.

Guest EPCC Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Really enjoyed today never had the miles in my legs to get all the way round so have a nice ride to Barhead with Daryl The good thing is Charlie never reply lasted any longer Three pain killers needed for next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Porteous Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Revenge is sweet! I knew Charlie was a one hit wonder! After having mudguard problems of my own it was great to see the Joansin waiting up and working together and catch the main bunch with ease - big turn out helped, think there were 9 of us - thanks guys. I think everyone made it up the Kilwinning drag only for all hell to break loose on the habble into Barrhead with attacks coming thick and fast. Iain Ulrich made a break before we even got to Neilston I think! Eventually came together for the sprint with Alan in the mix and Alex taking third again - a great effort. With four of us there till the end and honorary wheeler Lewis in there as well. Gubbed afterwards and thanks to Alex and Lewis for the wheel home. Great day out (weather included) - bring on next week! martin and alexb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexb Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Greg first over the line with Richie and I following. At least 5 JWCC in the final bunch at Barrhead, so a nice contingent for the tough slog back home from Barrhead. That's got to be the muddiest I've been on a road bike. I've had cleaner days mountain biking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Porteous Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Haha, me too, and will the bike be getting cleaned before tomorrow.... seems pointless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted February 7, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Enjoyable ride, good chase back from Troon to the Kilwinning drag with Darryl marshalling the troops well. After that the steadier/slower pace up the climb meant i got to enjoy the delights of Lochlibo road with the bunch rather than on my own, so much more motivating having wheels to follow.

Alan Michael Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Great day out. Happy to finish 4th. It was a lot better than expected. great to see the Joansin looking out for there own, tomorrow its double shifts on the front for Mr Porteous lol, and now I know where the finish is Greg O'mallys cards are marked lol.

Committee Alan McLean Posted February 7, 2015 Committee Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 11 wheelers in total. Cracking day, well controlled until Lochlibo Road and then steadily ramped up the pace. Beautiful weather but roads are still damp with a spectacular amount of salt and road grime adhering to every surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted February 7, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Well done the Joansin! Alex, Ian and Alan in the mix at the end. Well done all!!

2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted February 7, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Ah!! Got a right kicking today. Spat out just before lugton. Ta to Robbie who towed me to Barrhead. Had a miserable ride home & still licking my wounds. Well done Porto.

2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted February 7, 2015 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Well done to all the JWCC riders. It was a strong showing all day. Good that we showed some restraint too and waited for Iain. I sat up at Lugton after having gone a bit too deep on the front and soft pedalled into Barrhead with Billy. Extra kudos to those of you in the mix at the end- very impressive indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
