19 Mon, May 10th 2010, 18:57 Willie Rafferty Memorial 10TT

It's that time of year again, on the Wednesday the 2nd June we will be holding the Willie Rafferty Memorial 10TT on the ever popular A77 course. All right, its not the most popular course in the world, but I think you will agree the purvey after it has to be one of the best. As this is the clubs 75th Anniversary, included in the prize list will be a £75 prize for the course record being broken, 19.56. The event starts at 7.30 and the cost is £9.
Entries to Michael Devlin. 36 Erskine View, Polmont. Stirlingshire, FK2 0UQ, Phone 01324 874946

59 Mon, May 9th 2011, 17:59 Willie Rafferty Memorial 10mile TT It's time to be entering, or at least thinking about entering this ever popular event on Wed.the 1st of June. It's held on the A77, which is a fairly quiet road and if the road is not the most popular, then the catering after has proved very popular, so it's well worth coming for this alone!

18 Sun, Apr 25th 2010, 16:48 VC South 2 up, 17th April 2010

Two riders from the club, David Turner and Jim McAneny rode this recent event at West Ferry.

Around 25 teams took part. The first half was hard going with a stiff breeze in your face most of the way. Once the turn was reached however everyone got a flyer. David and Jin's time was 28.49. Not bad considering the conditions and this was their first attempt.

69 Mon, Sep 26th 2011, 13:07 Track Event The club is trying to organise an introductory track event at Medowbank. Mandy has very kindly ofereed to organise this, currently Mandy needs some feedback on who would be interested in attending. See the forum for more details and let Mandy know if you'd be interested, it sounds like a great day out! View Edit

29 Wed, Aug 4th 2010, 13:23 St Chris and the 3 Ferries A Fairy Tale Why the frog I hear you, say… read on. The purple clad of the St Chris were out in force round the roads of Argyll at the weekend, participating in the Club’s Sunday run round the 3-ferries. Ten bleary-eyed individuals arrived at the Car Park on the Clyde Coast early and eager to start the day’s adventure. In classic T de F style the first crash of the day occurred early on, in the Car Park. Simon went down hard, seconds after getting out of his car – let’s put it down to sheer exhaustion with the long drive and early start! The bunch set off up the road to the first ferry, creating a ‘purple haze’ in their wake. Such was the early pace set we got the 9 am ferry over to Dunoon – then the fun began. The bunch were together setting a good pace up Loch Eck, with only a slight drizzle in their face – I think it was actually the sweat from Colin G’s brow as he tried to hold in the first of his frequent toilet stops (old age catching up). It was not long before the lone-attacks started with Colin M doing his usual breakaways. This was the start of what was to become a game of cat and mouse, with the rest of us acting as the mouse – teasing Colin to chase, an especially interesting game played by Jim. Just after Strachur, the bunch split, with Dave and Robert heading down Glendaruel to catch the earlier ferry over to Bute – all this so they could get first choice of the extremely large cakes on offer at the café stop (their cunning plan worked). The bunch split again on the road to Otter Ferry, with the fast pace set by Colin M, whilst weak bladder-boy Colin G’s stops were becoming even more frequent. Eventually, the bunch regrouped just as we started to head back inland over the first and only major climb of the day – up and over the 1,000 feet climb of the Cruach na Tarbh (locally known as road to the frog). The climb started in the usual manor, Colin M and Simon setting the initial pace, with Mandy and Andy bring up the rear. Andy did the gentlemanly thing, and eventually dropped Mandy as she continued over the climb and into her own fairy tale… In most such tales, the princess kisses the frog, but not our quiet, clean-mouthed Mandy. As a frog lay sunning itself by the side of the road, Mandy hit the poor thing with the ‘Boak’ – yep you heard right. The bunch was together again, on the way to Colintraive, Jim was now in his element playing cat and mouse again. However, the game was brought to an abrupt end with Colin G heading off with a mile to go. With the bunch heading over to the café in Bute, the lure of cakes was just too much for some, and the field was split again, chasing down those trying to get some early training for the club’s downhill event. After the lunch stop, the bunch split with six heading round the Island on a 20 mile run to the ferry and the rest heading back to Rothesay, bow-legged and full bellied. The headwind picked-up on the road from Kingarth to Rothesay and the six were split in to groups of two ‘the sprinter and his lead-out man’. The last sprint of the day came between Andy, Jim, and three wee kids on their BMX’s. Jim feeling brave took them on just as we pulled round Bogany Point; it looked closer than Cav at the finish line. Jim using his head like any good lead-out man (Renshaw came to my mind, but plastic came to theirs) was determined to win. Unfortunately, there was no photo finish… but Jim’s up in court on Friday!

Just to show that St. Christies kept the best till last, there were some great times by club memebers who rode this event.

The 10 took place down at Westferry and a perfect evening saw some very happy riders at the finish.

Andy Wilson was the first club rider back with an almighty 25.25, yes that's right I said 25.25. Mike Devlin also did a 26.49 not bad considering he's 70 next year. Last but not least was Colin Meikle with a fantastic 24.27. Well done to all riders, that just leaves you all to participate in the Freuchie 50 to decide the club champion.
