Interim Club Clothing Order – Update

Hello folks,

We are almost there with the number of tops.  I have 12 confirmed, 5 have yet to choose sizes and the club will order 6 spare tops. 

I have emailed CycleJersey to confirm a couple of things and will come back to you with confirmation shortly.  If all goes well, I hope to place the order before the end of this week.

Just to confirm the following incase I’ve made a mistake, I have the following orders confirmed (mainly from WordPress & a few by email):

Bradley VB – Large L/S FR, Eilidh – Small S/S XC, Callum Smith – Large S/S FR, David Duns – Medium S/S XC, Elizabeth – Small L/S XC, Steven M70 – Medium L/S FR, Euan Boyd – Large S/S XC, Grant – XLarge L/S FR, Iain Ferguson – 2 x Large S/S FR, Gerry Cleary – XLarge S/S XC.

Still to confirm sizes: Stephen Malaney – Large S/S XC??, Jack/Captainscrumpy – S/S XC??, Elaineandg – Large or XLarge S/S FR??, Paivi – 1 x S/S XC & 1 x L/S XC??.

For the folk that have confirmed  – only leave a reply if I have your size/top choice incorrect.

For the folk that haven’t confirmed sizes yet – please do so within the next few days.  Leave a reply and see if anyone can help you by trying on their tops.  Or go to the website http://www.thecyclejersey.com/shop/.  If buying an XC top, click on the cycle jerseys Categorie and select any jersey, then select the ‘Jersey Size’ drop down – this gives you recommended chest sizes in inches.  For Freeride, go back to the home page, and select Freeride Jerseys in the Categories and do the same as above.

Cheers

TOUR BE BEN NEVIS

Hi all

I was just wondering if anyone is planning on doing the NO FUSS Tour de Ben Nevis event on the 24th September. I would be really keen for going but unfortunatley I don’t have a car. If anyone is driving over and would fancy spilting the cost of petrol I would be really interested.

SSWC 2011

Close to where I grew up, the village of Ashton in Northamptonshire hosted the world conker championship.  It was a light hearted affair which centred on the local pub.  The entry requirements were simple – get yourself a conker and get your name down.

The Single Speed World Championships, is an annual competition that offers the cycling world’s only crown not ratified by a recognised cycling body.  Anyone can have a pop at the title, providing you get your entry in on time.  The social aspects of single speed champs are significant as is the light-heartedness, not many sports involve mass dancing to YMCA as part of the pre-race prep.  But it attracts its fair share top-tier racers to remind the rest of us how the job should be done.

For Sale – Hope Vision 4 light

I am sellimg my Hope lightset.  It’s same as the one in this link :

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/hope-vision-4-led-front-light/

and also comes with a head harness, so can be used for walking etc.  I have only used it on the bar mount, so helmet mount and harness mount are unused.  I have ran it since late 09 and it is in pretty much perfect condition.  There is a crack in the battery case where I dropped it on my garage floor when it was a few month old, sent it back to Hope and they glued it and it’s been fine since.

I have a new Exposure light on order, so this one will be available around the end of next week. I will be posting it up on Singletrack Classifieds but would rather sell locally to avoid postage.  Looking for £150. If interested please drop me a mail :

5 Ferries Update – Trains now unavailable!

Hello all,

I spoke with the Duty Manager of Scotrail Central station this morning.  He’s informed me that the Ardrossan line train from Central isn’t running for the next 4 weeks due to maintenance and that the return trains from Weymss Bay are generally busy with commuters (I did notice that last year).  Due to this, he stated that we’d probably be refused onto the trains as there won’t be enough space for passengers & bikes.

So, for the folk that still want to attend the ride, we need to drive & car share.  There are two options for this; Continue reading
