Committee Alan McLean Posted November 18, 2016 Author Committee Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Rode up from Johnstone on track tonight. All ungritted surfaces are heavily ice glazed and would be lethal without studded tyres. Any riding tomorrow will be restricted to main roads. Not going out. Have fun.

2023 Subscriptions Gummers Posted November 19, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Thanks Alan I will avoid the track now I think everyone will be well chuffed with your first official reference to studded tyres of the winter 2016/17 season! 😂 Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions George Posted November 19, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Met Robin Cousins at RS McColl this morning & he commented it was a bit slippy underfoot. My street is ice station zebra, may be ok from town centre to Renfrew but I can't get there so mega turbo for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Posted November 19, 2016 Members Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 I went flying on the way into work this morning - I discovered an unmapped glacier on Govan Road, near the Squinty Bridge. Take care if you go out, folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexb Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Andy - a bit concerned about above and other reports of black ice. Might opt for turbo myself ( after swapping pedals onto winter bike this morning too!). Ket me know if you get this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanF Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 I nearly decked it three times walking the dog this morning so gave it a miss. I enjoyed the last couple of weeks so was looking forward to more of the same. Ah well hopefully next week is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy nICE of you to spot that. Marathon Winters are my current energy sucking tyre of choice. Fine for a commute but would really hurt after 50 miles. Anyway still super icy in the shade here. Cyclocross will be hard and potentially very slippy tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions robster82 Posted November 19, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Rolled past Houston roundabout at 0934 nobody there so carried on to bogs, only Marc from Glasgow Nightingale at the bogs who was just going as far as Gourock. Decided to get him up to Bishy then do my own thing, met Scott Newman along the way but had made my decision. A steady 3 hour's in the legs. Hope some real men turn up next week....

Robbie mate - you go to a public lavatory on a Saturday morning and can't find a decent man. Sorry to hear that pal 😂 robster82 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
