alexb Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Forecast is dreadful for Saturday but almost tropical on Sunday. Planning to head out via Bowfield and linking onto Barmill circuit to Dalry, Fairlie Moor, Bagel Basket (got to be done) and Brisbane Glen back. Thinking earlyish start. 930 at club rooms?

2023 Subscriptions James Posted January 27, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Should be okay Alex. Can do earlier than 9.30 if you wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted January 27, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'll decide on Sunday morning. I'm not keen for another soaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions George Posted January 27, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Sunday looks better day but can't be annoyed listening to Alex. Hope it's windy enough to drown him out. Nothing personal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexb Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Forecast is for light winds I'm afraid. I would bring ear plugs for you, but undoubtedly there'll be some weather on Sunday that you can use as an excuse for not making it.

2023 Subscriptions George Posted January 28, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'll be too far behind to hear you anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Cross Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 The weather can also apply to me so I won't bother saying I'll be there or not. If I am, I might last as far as the Bowfield or will be tempted to peel off for Dunlop. Hopefully I can maybe keep Geo company! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions George Posted January 29, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Doubt I'll be out anyway-lurgy again. Totally floored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted January 29, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Looks like I'll be finishing the job of dismantling my fence that Gertrude started this morning. Might get a turbo sesh in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted January 31, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Good run today. Hope you all enjoyed Brisbane and the Whin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted January 31, 2016 Committee Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks for the ride. Loads of snow lying at top of Brisbane but otherwise dry with light winds today. This was an unexpectedly good weather window between storms. James made a strong bid for the mighty Hamock Award/Wheelers Fail of the Year. He punctured after the Fairlie Moor descent. When he took his rear tyre off we were impressed to see 5cm sections of bare cord bulging through the wafer thin ripped rubber. To descend the Moor road with that timebomb tyre took real courage. We have photo evidence as well as the testimony of a clinician, a respected lawyer and professor of psychology that James demonstrated the finest attributes of the Wheelers: parsimony bordering on insanity, complete disregard for danger and a single-minded dedication to just getting out on the bike at all costs. It will be hard to beat. We stuck him on the back of the bunch and pointed him to Fairlie station to catch the next train back to Johnstone. Would love to hear if he cycled the last 4 miles to BoW.

2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted January 31, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Good run today, found it pretty tough although very scenic on Fairlie Moor and Brisbane Glen. Good run today. Hope you all enjoyed Brisbane and the Whin! Enjoyed them so much i went extra slow to savour every second! GrahamF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions James Posted January 31, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Enjoyed that. My speed on the decent was 37mph!!. .... bit mental to say the least. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the ride and as I was disappointed to miss the BB. Got the train back to Johnstone and cycled back to BOW along the track. I knew I had a few more miles left on the tread. New tyres ordered now!! P McDonald 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
