  Our new social convenor 'Big Mick' has kindly organised for our club trophy winners to recieved their accolades on the 9th December at the Fairfield Hotel.  Good man!  Log onto the forums now to confirm your attendance.

We are at the end of a long and busy year.  There have been some real highlights including two wins and a licence promotion by Paul Torrance, a new club 10 record by Kenny Armstrong as an individual, and team record with Mark Skilling, Kenny Armstrong and Paul Gibson.  Membership has grown to more than 50, and as a club we did ourselves proud with the spectacular 46th David Bell Memorial Road Race.

Its now time to relax, enjoy the sociable miles, and dream of even greater things to come in 2012.  Ayr Roads meet every Sunday for a sociable club run leaving from Beresford Terrace, Ayr at 9:30am.  A typical run lasts 4-5 hours, and takes in the stunning scenery of South Ayrshire.  All welcome.  Go on!  You know you wanna try...

6th October 2011 - CLUB HILLCLIMB THIS SUNDAY (9th October).  Ayr Roads CC will contest their annual club confined HillClimb championship on Sunday up the slopes of Carwinshoch at Brown Carrick Hill.  The first rider will set off around 10am to allow riders meeting at Beresford Terrace time to ride out.  Defending Champion John-Paul Baxter will line up against other former winners including Kenny Armstrong and Chris Johnson.  Several new members will be challenging for the title including Owen Ross and Paul Torrance.

The hill climb will be followed by the recently resurected free-wheel contest at Straiton.  See you there! 

28th August 2011 - Ayr Roads CC are by far the bestest cycling club in all of the Ayrshires.  A couple of others come close, but not close enough to beat us at the Scottish Team Time Trial Championships :)  Not sure this qualifies?  Our Captain Mark Skilling is the newly crowned Ayrshire and Dumfriesshire Road Champion!

This week Kenny Armstrong set us a new 10mile record with a swift 21:12 on the Loans course.  Such a good time, its the same read backwards as it is forwards.  Not only this, but Alex McAllister and his young protegee Robert 'Bernard' Kelly put in a quick 22:12 to take the vets record.  While Paul Gibson and Mark Skilling rode quick enough to set the club record.  Not bad for a Thursday night.  That concludes the club 10 series.  

Winter will be upon us soon.  But not so fast, get back here.... we've got ourselves a hill climb championships to promote!  Click here for more info...
