WINTER ACTIVITIES
September 2013

At the recent meeting held to discuss the club's winter activities and other subjects, the following list was created.

WEEKLY TURBO/CIRCUIT AND STRETCH SESSION 
These sessions are now every Tuesday evening from 7.30 pm. The first one of the winter is Tue 1st October. Mandy is going to create a 6 week training schedule and hopefully Derek will provide the circuit training one.
As usual there will be tea/coffee and chat available at the end of every session.

WEEKLY OUTDOOR EVENING TRAINING RUN.
Starting on Friday 4th October there will be an evening run, lights essential. The intention is to meet on the Sainsbury's circuit 7 - 7.30 pm. If there are enough riders with the strongest lights then we could go round the lanes and return to the Sainsbury circuit. The alternative is to stay on the Sainsbury route. The good thing about it you can take a lap out and rejoin when it comes round again!

WINTER CLUB RUNS
Now that the racing season is all but over we hope to see more riders taking part in Sunday runs. There will be a fast group and a slow group so no excuses. We will decide on the morning where and what mileage. The idea is to keep it to fairly local circuits so if you are pushed for time or have other commitments you can easily jump out at an appropriate place. The meeting place is the entrance to Calderglen park for 9.30am

WINTER 10'S
Usual place on the A77, first rider off at 10.00am

OCTOBER 13TH 2013
NOVEMBER 3RD 2013
DECEMBER 1ST 2013
JANUARY 5TH 2014
FEBRUARY 2ND 2014
MARCH 2ND 2014
APRIL 6TH 2014

TRACK NIGHT
Mandy is organising this and there are plenty of takers. No date as yet, cause SCU being SCU make it very difficult.

HILL CLIMB
The date for this has already been posted, Sunday 27 th October. Meet at Auldhouse Cross at 11am and take it from there.

CHRISTMAS NIGHT OUT
Proposed Xmas night out on the last weekend in November 29th or 30th. Venue TBA

CLUB RUNS
I have saved this issue until last. As you know there has been some talk about this recently, members complaining quite rightly about the lack of support for these runs. For next year it was decided to pick out one Sunday in every month from May - September and target this as a social club run. This may solve some of the problems with this event. It was decided to wait and see the racing calender for 2014 before confirming these dates. Venues suggested were Moffat, 5 ferries, 3 ferries and the Dunoon circuit.

Another suggestion was during the summer to have a club run on a Thursday evening. This might compensate those who miss the weekend. There was also a third option, to target a sportive every month and use this as a Sunday run.

Anyhow we have a bit of time over the winter to mull this over. In the meantime I think you'll agree the winter activities will keep us pretty busy.
