Committee Alan McLean Posted February 7, 2017 Committee Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Paul, just name the date you want and we'll see who can make it. I suspect some people might not be able to make it but that's DA for you. If you build it, they will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted February 7, 2017 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 29th April it is. Immortality beckons. Better plan you macro- micro periodisation of power zone training intervals, rest ratio adjusted, full taper training programme. Or just ask Billy what to do (remember our commission deal ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Esus Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Won't be appropriately proportioned height to weight ready for DA in April (I'm too short for my weight) So will provide a gigantic windbreak for the first lap then cycle in reverse and provide some rest bite for the last few miles!!

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted February 10, 2017 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Next set of odds to be declared from LADbrokes, Big Alan, 1-8 if he does it, Andy G - evens to do the DA and evens to catch the boat Colin - 2-1 to catch the boat and 10-1 to have a fully functional bike (10 is for the 10mm Allen key to reattach an FSA crank in Lochgoilhead) Bison - 1-3 to crack some witty jokes and chew the cud in a field beside the roAD Jan - 8-11 if he remembers to go clockwise when not on the track More to follow, Colin McPhee, PaulL and Gummers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions robster82 Posted February 12, 2017 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 After today's ferocious head-wind for last few miles I'm more like Leicester's 5000/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted March 3, 2017 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 So what is a man to do when he gets home on a Friday and reaches for the vino rouge? Check the diary until DA17 of course. Team, if you need sobering up or putting life into perspective then have a think on this one, it is 8 weeks tomorrow until DA17. See that training plan you thought about doing. Do it. Do it now. Do it 100%. DA will be with you forever.

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted March 4, 2017 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Might need to review the odds of Andy catching the ferry, not yet though, still evens. He will need to get much more consistent. Gummers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ian Archibald Posted March 4, 2017 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Scottish 10mile TT is 8 May. Perfect preparation. I've put it on my calendar: 180km paceline practice. Gummers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted March 21, 2017 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 As part of the DA17 preparation, who might be up for a single on Saturday 8th April. Need to reconnaissance the roads etc. Various folks racing the weekend of 1st April so this seems like best slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
