CC Ecosse (West) ride - Sat 19th Jan

[Edwardoka]

How did the broken wheel happen?

Happened during my mechanical woes during the week - it held up quite well considering!

Unfortunately we didn't get a picture of the whole group together. At Balloch, where the photos were kindly taken by a passerby, Fokker was missing from the first and when we called him in, the second one, as well as being a bit shaky, has missed Mr Messy out at the right hand side. I'm behind the camera in the other two, just before the start of the climb up to Queen's View, .
Oh well.....

Hi get in the van. Yep still a member. Its a great club . Well over 100 members so you are bound to find people you get on with. There is everything from racers...time trialers...cyclocross...track riding...audax ....sportive riding...hillclimbing...muontain biking. There is a kids section and of course there are cafe rides too . Check out the forum ( actually may be members only )or turn up on a Saturday and give it a bash.
40 miles at 15ish mph is the usual club run wth a faster group and a cafe run either side.

More of a slog than a hard climb (I'd rate it as maybe 20% as difficult as the Mennock Pass or the Crow Road, and I am a terrible climber).

So... when's the next one?
