By all means leave at 09:30 but I reserve the right to arrive at 09:00 & freeze my sprouts off just to hold the moral high ground. Perhaps we should compromise by meeting at 08:30? Speaking of club traditions, is Alan McLean's annual post in which he extols the virtues of snow tyres not overdue? ☃ï¸â›„ï¸â˜ƒï¸â›„ï¸â„ï¸ Richie Cross and Gummers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Committee Alan McLean Posted October 30, 2016 Committee Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Paul and I are heading down the track to Kilmarnock to rescue cars post braveheart dinner. Slow and sociable with coffee. Join us and you will get a lift home! Departure time tbc later this morning. On second coffee now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions EricL Posted October 30, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 A good sized bunch set of this morning with much brighter weather than yesterday (wouldn't be hard!) we even saw spells of sunshine closer to the coast and again going up Brisbane Glen later on. A speedy run at times broken up by more mechanicals then normal, Billy was an early casualty at the top of Bowfield, broken hanger(?), he limped home with no gearing mech and a floppy chain strung out over the big cog, hope you got on ok Billy. This was duly followed by Iain/Jan's stuck chain link, again he headed off from Largs for a slow solo run home stuck in the small ring! AlanT's chain coming off, and threatening to do so again. Charlie's crunching gears making uphill power almost impossible and my own set up getting stuck in the small ring because the shifter cable came loose (sorted on the road). Sorry if I missed anybody out in the list of calamities, it was hard to keep up with everything! Winter bike maintenance classes anyone? Oh yes, we had a most enjoyable bike ride, cracking autumnal weather again, a high speed run into Largs and a BB café stop, can't beat it.

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted October 30, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Great run out today apart from all the drive train issues. Good weather, good, mostly sensible pace, and good craic on the road. Glad we got to the Bagel Basket before the Inverclyde Velo boys showed up, ' cos there couldn't have been much left afterwards. Good to see Darryl out on the road again. Darryl Gunson and P McDonald 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
