2023 Subscriptions GrahamF Posted July 15, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Another 25TT on A77 scheduled for this week, start is at 7pm so meet at 6:45, The route is as posted for last week. I will not be there this time, but if there are any riders we'll also need volunteers to timekeep and holdup (as well as cheer!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EPCC Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 No Maybe it should have been left where it was , at least some people actually took part. Mind you on that could you post the current risk assessment for this new course as I would like to see the hazards and if it is a low risk I may take part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted July 18, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I'd like to do this because I need the practice. Having said that, if I'm going to be the only one riding it's a bit pointless. It would also be a bit challenging to get to on time given Tuesday will be my first day back at work after a couple of weeks off. Realistically, I won't know if I can get there on time until after 5 on Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions George Posted July 18, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 No way I can make it. I even struggle to make the Georgetown for 7pm. Change confined events to a Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted July 19, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Sorry Gorgeous, 100% against changing confined events to Saturday, like many others I have weekend family commitments and 2 days of cycling activity over the weekend is a complete non starter for me.. The sewing bee versus the confined events is entirely personal choice and in my opinion should be left as such...... The sewing bee doesn't suit me timewise, therefore the confined events are generally what I choose to do on a Tuesday.........just my opinion like... Ian.......

2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted July 19, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Won't make this week, as on holiday..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions George Posted July 19, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Of course it won't suit everyone, Ginty but the numbers, or lack thereof, surely show that the Tuesday nights dont suit many. I managed a few earlier in the year when I thought low numbers were due to the bad weather but the light nights are here now & we still struggle to get many participants.

2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted July 19, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 George, We're still getting a few riders most weeks, the 25's have never really been that well supported, but for the most part we're still getting the same people as previous years, and the only ones we're really missing from previous years are the "sewing bee'ers" , who are still out on a Tuesday night, so I don't think the fact that it's a Tuesday has really anything to do with it... I try to make most of the Tuesday TT's, whereas if they were on Saturdays i wouldn't make any, so for me its a definite NO....

Life Members chung Posted July 20, 2015 Life Members Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Graham, I'll come down to help, but I'm not tuned in the fine art of TT time-keeping so we'll need a time-keeper! Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EPCC Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Still need a risk assessment for this as we are not insured without it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted July 21, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Definitely on for this tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted July 21, 2015 Life Members Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hi Alan, Unless someone post up to time-keep in the next 5-10 minutes, then I can't see myself doing 2 job at the same time plus so far, I think it's only Iain Couttie & you confirmed to ride! I'll check back in 10 minutes to see any updates! Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EPCC Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 None of them should be riding without the risk assessment being carried out first Or are we just doing what we like so can we produce an analytical risk assessment of the current course Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted July 21, 2015 Life Members Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Definitely on for this tonight. Sorry Alan, was that a statement of intent or question? If it's on, I'll need to head down now to help! Cheers Chung Richard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Michael Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I'll head over give you a hand chung and Alan and Ian can ride. Cheers Richard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EPCC Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 George Apparently we have all been consulted on moving this from a course that some actually rode to this one We also have no insurance for any of the riders as as far as I know nobody has carried out a risk assessment for JWCC to actually do a confined on this course Still it won't be me who will be getting sued if somebody has an accident Mind you somebody has got to ride it first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted July 21, 2015 Life Members Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hi Alan T, I'm down at the A77 now, Iain Couttie is warming up now! Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted July 21, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Where have you started from? I've just driven the course and seen Iain, but not you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted July 21, 2015 Life Members Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Alan, Sorry we missed you, Iain decided not to do a time ride since he was the only one there. He said the start was (as I have no clue where it was) just outside the house between the "recycling depot" and the golf course entrance heading to Fenwick direction for the turn, so that's where Alan McBride & I met. But we head off since Iain just wanted to practice as his asthma was causing him problems anyway. Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted July 21, 2015 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Ummm, yeah. According to the map that Graham posted, the start is further up just where the A77 passes under the motorway. Not to worry. I guess the positive is, I've seen the course for myself so I'm now qualified to give an opinion as to whether it's suitable for a confined event. In my view, no. I won't ride it as a confined event, and I wouldn't be keen to ride it as an open event. For detailed reasons, it's probably better to start a new thread, giving George his opportunity to state his case for moving confined events to a Saturday(personally, no, for much the same reasons as Ginty), and for other suggestions for changing the locations of the confined events. Graham has done a good job with the calendar this year, shaking things up a bit, but this particular experiment, in my view, has not resulted in a new home for the 25's.
