man5e Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I, to am off elsewhere on sunday. I've voted for an APR in the hope it encourages Sunday Bunchers to dip a less stress free toe in the competitive sea. Whatever the choice,,, enjoy. Im sure the Lanzarote sun awaits me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I have voted for an APR as I did a couple of these last Summer and they were a lot of fun in a painful wheel-hingin' sort of way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Members chung Posted March 22, 2006 Life Members Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Pardom my ignorance, but what is this APR thing-wee? And is it on this Saturday or Sunday? As my wife and Sean (my boy) is going back to Hong Kong to visit my in-laws, so I have 4 weeks of serious PLAY-TIME. Cheers for reply.

Members Kenny MacDonald Posted March 22, 2006 Author Members Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Australian Pursuit Race riders go off in groups with slowest first , faster riders at back end of field. Planned to do 4 laps of 6 mile circuit for APR or 2 lap TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayleigh Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hi all, I would like to do this But im not sure i would be allowed because im a Youth?? But im not sure because its a confined event?? Can anyone tell me if im allowed to do this event?? (the APR) Thanks Kayleigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hickey Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Chung Have a look at http://johnstone-wheelers.co.uk/development_display.php and scroll down to the APR section. Also there are some posts about this here:- http://www.johnstone-wheelers.co.uk/php ... php?t=1581 and some other stuff in the confined events section. Kayleigh The long and short of it is I have no idea. As development officer I probably should know but this area is a bit of a minefield which is why the club (or me to be precise) at the moment aims to develop the over 18s! I'm sure Kenny through his work with go-bike and riderz will know the answer but I guess it's something along the lines of:- It's a club training event NOT a race. You should have a parent or guardian present (but I have no idea if this means at the start / finish line or 2 metres behind you (which I guess excludes your dad )) I know this doesn't help very much - can anyone else shed light on this??

Life Members chung Posted March 23, 2006 Life Members Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Sounds like more pain, I go for the APR then cause I've never done one before. See you all there! By the way where is Gateside Village hall? Do we still meet up at the clubroom at 9.30am, and cycle there? Anybody? Cheers Chung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kenny MacDonald Posted March 23, 2006 Author Members Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Kayleigh yes you can take part in this organised training event. Its not a race just a training event for riders to get used to riding in a bunch. ( PC answer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyS Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Here is a link for Gateside. The village hall is opposite the pub (Gateside Inn) and there is a small car park here and I would think space to park on the main road outside the pub also. http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&GridE=-4.60870&GridN=55.74870&lon=-4.60870&lat=55.74870&place=Gateside,North+Ayrshire&db=freegaz&scale=100000&search_result=Gateside%2CNorth%20Ayrshire&lang=&db=freegaz&keepicon=true The start is on the first small road on the right hand side heading east. There is a big whisky bond sign at the junction. The course is a 3 sided loop starting at the top left hand corner on the attached map heading SE along Sharon St, turn left along A736 Lochlibo Rd (Irvine - Barrhead Road), past Tracey's yard and turn left onto B777 at the Paraffin Lamp. Turn back into Sharon St again at Whisky Bond Sign and do it all again and again and again http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=237500.038610969&Y=652500.826281322&width=500&height=300&gride=236360.038610969&gridn=653674.826281322&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=freegaz&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&keepicon=true&zm=0&scale=50000&right.x=2&right.y=94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions duncan thomson Posted March 23, 2006 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I have only managed one sunday run last month but would like to have a go at the APR if it is on. Is it just a case of turning up before 11? Anything else needed, ?mudguards? Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted March 24, 2006 Committee Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I'll come and would like to do an APR but I don't believe it's not a race. I've only done three bunch rides this spring with the club but they all ended with a testosterone-fuelled blast. Looking forward to it. Duncan (above) and I should form our own lardynovice group with a 100m exclusion zone. (Sorry Duncan but the truth sometimes hurts). Do folk recommend mudguards for this or should I bring the nice summer bike? Advice welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim Daly Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Being left for dead at the Don Smith on the outskirts of Erskine came as a bit of a shock . I'll be using my summer moped on Sunday. Jim ps Clocks change this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Leonard Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Hope there's a good crowd out for the APR, and that you all have a good "club training event" Sorry i can't be there to join in the fun.....see you next time Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kenny MacDonald Posted March 24, 2006 Author Members Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Looking forward to setting the groups on Sunday and starting the MAYHEM 11:00am sharp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hickey Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Kenny There's been a few enquiries about mudguards. It's officially summertime on Sunday - does that mean mudguards are officially not necessary or would you recommend looking out the window and making a sensible decision? PS If work's quiet I'll try and get along and take some pictures of you all for the records - so remember and wear the club kit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kenny MacDonald Posted March 25, 2006 Author Members Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Mudgaurd amnesty begins tomorrow Its officially SUMMERTIME ps spare a thought for Jim Leckie who is recovering from a hernia op & will be out for 6 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTIN.KEIR Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I'll be at Gateside with all the clothing orders. Should you want to come armed with a cheque then you are welcome to pick it up. I have only had Jim Daly saying he will pick his up from there. Failing that reply to the personal message you have been sent. I can't hang around as I have to be in Knightswood at 11:45.
