Entered and also booked a room at the Travelodge linked above. £35 for the night, it has a bar/ cafe attached to it and is about 3mile from the start point.

tonights ride is cancelled, due to the coach being a wimp and afraid of the heavy rain. Zwift may be the default for many today

Back onto the off road rides tomorrow evening. 6.30pm at the Fullarton Woods car park. The session will be a general ride, some corner work and the an interval session.
The intervals will be as follows
3 sets (10 x 50m) hard with roughly 100m recovery between efforts and 5mins between the sets.
The group will regroup in the recovery between the sets.
Should be a tough wee session and fun, in a sadistic way

Week five of the off-road sessions takes place Wednesday evening, starting at 6.30pm from Fullarton Woods car park. If numbers allow, we will do some basic skill building and progressions. Lights are a must now, the woods are dark after 7pm.

If you fancy a spin through the park, around some of the golf courses and playing fields, just come along and enjoy the cycling.

[Jim Goldie]

I should have said, we are meeting at 6.30pm, but will be in and around the car park for around 45mins after this time.

[Jim Goldie]

A change of meeting place this week and from now on. We will be meeting at the car park in Fullarton Woods, Troon. This will allow us to use the park and wooded area for bike skill development as well as focussing in on some basic skills for cycling.

Again, any off-road bike would be suitable and everyone is welcome to come along and have a laugh.

I have a number of things on the go at the moment, I work for Kilmarnock Harriers in the evening and Glasgow Life through the day, my time is very tight to take on more roles.

I am happy to help on specific projects or assist with any paperwork stuff in relation to club development. I do this as my normal day job, so quite easy to find best practice for the club.

Thanks

Hi Guy
I have been looking a couple of the documents and I have a couple of suggestions in relation to some of the wording. Can I send you these?

Minimum standards notes.
The PVG update is generally done every three years, this is best practice, although not needed, given the document is live.
Welfare officer training is two fold, one is a Safeguarding course, the other is specific to Welfare officers.

It may be worth asking about the need for some of these standards, given that the club have no junior members under 18 years.

Happy to chat this through or help where needed.

Thanks
Jim

More off-road fun this evening. The forecast is changeable, layer up and head out and enjoy some trails. 7pm from Gailes car park.
Last week we headed to the back of the papermill and then into Troon, some variety on the surface, with roots, mud, a little sand and plenty of grass and gravel.

[Jim Goldie]

Like the look of this, I have never ridden over there, so i am up for a day out.

[Jim Goldie]

The second off-road ride will take place this week, this will be a general ride over grassland and some single track. Depending on who is there, I would propose we do some cornering drills and cone of movement riding.

The ride will be any an easy pace, regrouping after any technical sections.

Any off-road bike will be appropriate for the ride.

Meeting at Gailes car park at 7pm.

[Jim Goldie]

Planning on being there

[Jim Goldie]

I had a look for the wheel I thought I had, but no joy, I am not sure where it has gone. I have loads of tyres somewhere, I can bring one along to a ride or pass it to someone to pass to you.

[Jim Goldie]

All ready, bike cleaned and lubed ready for a spin. See you at loans.

[Jim Goldie]

Cheers Mikey, I will see you at Loans
