Stewarton time trial?

[jim55]

anybody know what was going on today I was down at my mates near there and there was a big peloton heading Glasgow way , they were holding 30-35mph so obv a higher level I.e better than me ( which isn't hard)

If there was a peloton, then it was not a time trial, that is for sure.

Oh ha ha right, musta been some sort of organized race then , they had support vehicles ( with spare bikes on roof , escort cars -( flashing lights and outriders all that was missing was a helicopter lol

Sounds like a road race, best bet is to check the BC website events list.

It was the Fenwick APR. A couple of young lads from my club, EK road club, were 1st and 3rd in the B race. On junior gears as well. Well done to Kyle and Stuart.

As said they were holding a really good pace I was driving a route back from Kilmarnock ( cos I want to cycle it next week and was just reccy the route- see if it was a good road )and was in the middle( amongst the cars , I never overtook as I just held back , fair play to them a bit of effort going on , ok the bit I was on was fairly flat but they were going some

The Dodside road (B769) and the moor road to Neilston are both great roads for cycling. Enjoy your ride!

Ah - glad to hear APR's are still on the go. We need more of them!!

Thirty three miles?

Road race distances have definitely shortened over the years, that's just a sprint.

Dodside Road, one of my favourites, some nasty wee hills. Back over the Clunch and home via the 77. Usually nice and quiet.
