Hi Dennis,

 

Is it that time of year already? :-)

 

I'll confirm near the time, if that's ok?

 

For those looking to break their 100mile duck, cycle in a beautiful part of Scotland, great company in a big bunch, loves cakes (assuming Morag's cafe stop at the end is still on :-)) etc....................

 

Then you shouldn't miss this ride!

 

Cheers

 

Chung

Just been told that RACC is hosting a 10 that day so I've changed the date to 18th June (not yet on BC calendar)!

 

Sorry about that. Hope you can make it Chung.

 

Can anyone change the date in the heading? Thanks.

 

Dennis

Date NOT for Diaries - Blackwood to Peebles and back 100.


Sorry to mess everyone about, but the date will NOTnow be 18th June. I got word from the hospital this morning that my hernia op will take place on Wednesday 3rd May (and not July as I was recently advised).


I’ll be in touch in due course re a new date for the 100, possibly sometime in August or September. Hope some JWCCers will be able to make it then.

OK, with my op now done and dusted I'm glad to say that I'm back up and running! The date for this year's run is Sunday 20th August, so if anyone would like to join us, please post. Here's a  wee reminder of what this run is all about:

As always, this run is about creating a platform for riders who have never ridden 100 miles in one day, and at the same time allowing more experienced riders to take a break from a heid doon and a**e up approach and enjoy a social ride in the lovely South Lanarkshire/Borders countryside.

Cycling is ultimately about travel, socialising and keeping fit and, for me, that sums up the Blackwood/Peebles runs that have taken place for 10 years now.

There is never any entry fee for this run and there will be the usual lunch stop in the Peebles area and Morag has once again kindly offered to open Mo’s Café here at our place at the end of the run.

Details of the exact route and the lunch stop venue will be given out later, but it would be useful to know (for catering purposes both at the lunch stop and Mo’s Cafe) how many riders would like to come along. It would be great to have your company if you can make it.

Please post a ‘yeah’ if you wish to join this run. Thanks.

Thanks Paul. Hope you are well too.

 

For anyone in JWCC who may be interested in adding the 'blue and yellow' to the bunch, which would be good to see, here is the route this year. Great countryside with some superb climbs... Lunch stop this year at Glentress (with tables booked). Come on, you know you want to. :-)

Btw, there are currently 24 names on the list...
