Mark O Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Right, I've been off the bike for nearly 5 weeks (2 of which I was on hols to be fair), so I'm guessing I'm incredibly un'bunch'fit. However, I'm intending riding the winter bogs bunch this year - 'cos it suits me time wise. I am in need of motivation and some serious physical endeavour on my part to get myself back in the groove in order to ride at least as far as Largs at a decent pace before Paul McD starts posting for the winter bogs rides. To this end I'm aiming to get out and put some miles in on Saturday mornings to build miles initially and then some pace. Any takers for steady miles, with some intervals/hills as deemed necessary, on the usual autumn/winter routes of a Saturday morning (coffee stops optional). No apologies for me being a little short on endurance and pace being tendered at this time. These will not be killer rides to start with. Happy to meet at Miller Street or anywhere east thereof.

Alan Fox Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Mark, Up for this if only to see how far off the pace I am for Main Bunch rides (not for Bogs!!!!) Should make most weeks apart from Sept Weekend (24th.) Can start this Sat. - weather looks good so far.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions George Posted September 12, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Marko, this is music to my ears. I have spent the past 12 months working as Christopher Biggins stunt double but have just been paid off for being too fat so steady miles away from the madness that is the main bunch is what I need. Might struggle for this Saturday- will let you know in approx 63 parsecs. James Esus and PaulL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Charlie, I think I might be down south on the 1st. If not I may seek a seat at the 'top' table. Will post up a meeting time for miller st later on this week. Most likely 09.00, with a view to heading for the West ferry and the Clune. 50 ish miles for me.

Jaki R Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I fancy this but I'm fairly new. Define "steady" please. I wouldn't want to hold people back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions XXX Posted October 5, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Maybe but likely go as far as the clune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Fox Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Will join at Red Smiddy roundabout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted October 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Jaki, Wind direction dependent but steady at this point would equate to in the region of 16-18 mph +/- 2mph. No daft surges or sprints and keeping it together on any ramps You're more than welcome to join us for all or part of the route. Circa 50 mile round trip back to Miller Street. It's more about the miles in the legs right now rather than eyeballs out speed.......or at least that's what I'm telling myself.
