alexb Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Late night vomiting last night but plan to come anyway. Tbh I'll probably just do the single and see how it goes. If good, I'll stick in. If bad, I can pick up gifts etc for the DA group. P McDonald 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions James Posted May 20, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 With the forecast for rain, what clothing are we needing.... Is everyone carrying rain cape? or using full length winter leggings? Da we need any dry clothes for way back on victorious celebrations?

2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted May 20, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Will probably wear a gabba jersey and shorts, mainly because i'm not skilled enough to take off a rain cape when im riding James Esus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 James, I'm planning on leg warmers, overshoes and rain cape. Probably go for s/s base with arm warmers under club l/s jersey and gilet - rain cape as required. Towel and dry clothes in car for drive up the road (that includes you Mr Gunson!!). May avail myself of the cal mac facilities at Ardrossan for a quick change. Soggy bum on the ferry trip very likely, I fear I shall not be caring at that point. I'm working on the basis the pace will afford me a cooling breeze and accept it might get a little warm on the Lochranza climb. So long as toes and fingers are warmish I'll be content to get wet.

2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted May 20, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Temperature 14 and wind 8/10SW - too warm for winter attire for me. Skin waterproof any ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted May 20, 2016 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Met office says actual temp between 11 and 13, with 'feels like' temp between 9 and 12. Leg warmers, overshoes, arm warmers, jersey and jacket in pocket for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted May 20, 2016 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm a bit DAft when it comes to these things but I tend to go for not a lot of clothing when on a mission. So probably base layer and winter jacket and shorts. No leg warmers on occasions such as this. Rubber velotoze overshoes and gloves. Given the effort required don't think I'll be cold!

Committee Alan McLean Posted May 20, 2016 Committee Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Not happy, can someone fix the weather please? I like the idea of rough northern classic riding in rain a lot more than actually doing it. Watched the soigneur piece on Giro extra on the telly. The riders have two car bags each with lovely warm dry clothes and up to five pairs of gloves. If only..... James 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
