do we have a "no matter what we meet at this final park at time xyz" rule? so that everyones together for a pint at the same time at the end?

You wont know what park the end is at until the checkpoint.
bit shit if you come a cropper first leg...
Auchinlea Park. J10 off the M8. To get there join the M8 at Charing X and pedal for your life.
would there be a prize for 'fast lane and back'
"Overall route will be 6-7 miles"
I can't imagine we will be going too far out
Auchinlea Park is handy for Decathlon though. Get your weirdly named cycling goods and archery supplies.
Thought this was a simple a.. b.. c.. Alleycat... More like A to Z with all those parks... I'm gonna get so lost...
The finish will almost definitely be in a larger park. The other park will likely be a small park but will still be quite centrally located I'd imagine. I have a pretty good idea of what the route could be.
I'm personally working on a park/beer proximity/fandan safety formula for final park calculations. I don't want to be stuck in Springburn in a Rapha cap with a wee moustache asking for directions and I hope that's being factored in (imagine 30 bams in trackies riding fixed while we nurse our injuries)...also going to stop speculating about parks 'cos if we work out the right ones on the thread it would undermine the work of the good people who organised it.
newfix:if we work out the right ones on the thread it would undermine the work of the good people who organised it.
If we work out plan A, we'll race plan B. Rabsda has a few different races and he'll decide which we're doing on Saturday morning.
If you want to speculate, I'd expect a twist. Because rabsda is a sadist.

Bigsmee mentioned tales of cycling up Gardner Street and having to change a wheel? Was that last year?
I'm taking time penalty if it's that kind of shenanigans...
That was the Hillclimb challenge.
Wee map for them folk what don't know glasgow?
Smout:Thought this was a simple a.. b.. c.. Alleycat... More like A to Z with all those parks... I'm gonna get so lost...
It is still A to B to C
Queen's Park is A
Another park on that List is B
and another is C.
The list is there to show you the possibles, not where we're going.
My phone will be on and the number will be on the manifest / map so people can phone me if they get lost or are running behind.
The maps will be made tonight so guess away. I will not confirm if anyone guesses the correct route.
is there a prize for the wettest arse?
Mustache a ready. Don't finish work till 3 so hopefully everyone won't leave dead on the dot from george square
It's been a while........ might make it to take some photos.

The maps are about to be printed.
I've not made anyspoke cards, sorry but have had no time / money
I think the route is easy but we'll see who knows the shortcuts...
my number is 07525 654 645 put it in your phone just in case.
see you at 3pm (or 3.30 if you're going straight there)
Shaun
Bring on the after party... The finishing bar better stock Red Stripe rabsda or we're gonna have words...
watch your words or the finish might end up in a bar which doesn't take kindly to your type
If anyone has a printer and some laminating pouches then if you could make spoke cards that would be cool
I've made an A4 page with 9 on, the file is here: http://www.subcity.org/shaun/files/Fandan-Spokecard-9up.pdf
same size pouches as rusty had for the easter weekender
whats the chances of rabsda falling asleep now and not making it to vic park by half 3?
i'm still up
rabsda:i'm still up
still plenty of time for a wee nap. where u at HYP last night? any good?
nah missed it. been up working
Last bit of giveaway before the race.
point B will require a dismount.
More Black and white spoke cards printed and laminated curtisy of Apple.
See you at 3 on georges, may be 5 past as i finsh at 3.
rabsda:Last bit of giveaway before the race.
point B will require a dismount.
The plot thickens.
Camera Charged, I hope the weather stays good.
Who's going but not racing?
I might not be able to make it :-(
lying in bed in agony, after a night of drinking in big slope I decided to jump down stairs on way home.. Didn't hurt then, but my ankle is size of a Mellon :-(
I'm happy for the bars to still be used as a prize, will meet up with person to give them it. Or I can post stuff via work for free.
Sorry guys
I'll ride the route but won't be racing. I'm sore as fuck and have a wee hangover from last night. Maybe the Buckie will sort me out though....
I'm going to draft Johnny all the way and then follow his wheel and sprint for the finish.
Cuppa T:Camera Charged, I hope the weather stays good.

A non-cycling photographer friend of mine might also show up to take some snaps at the start.
euan:I'm going to draft Johnny all the way and then follow his wheel and sprint for the finish.
I'm going for style rather than speed - I may ride the whole route with a gin an tonic in my hand...
canapes also my dear friend.
P.s - i just noticed what i state my bike is actually in visually and technically...
i'm polishing my rims and checking every spoke
Johnny Crash:I'm going for style rather than speed - I may ride the whole route with a gin an tonic in my hand...
You'd definitely win a few fandan points for that.
only if its in cut crystal
Cuppa T:canapes also my dear friend.

Aye mine is getting the dirty rag treatment, which should still improve on what it is currently.
That was fun. I wish I took better care of myself the night before, I would have been better at actually meeting everyone!
Great race. Well done & big thanks to rabsda for the idea and the organisation.
For those that couldn't make it, the checkpoints were:
Queens Park -> Kelvingrove Park Amphitheatre -> Necropolis John Knox Statue
How did other folks do? I was 11th, so feeling proud.
I forgot to get my sheet marked, oops. Just glad I didn't die. Yes, cheers Shaun!
