I know this is not strictly the Jets forum and I know many of you will have seen this on Facebook but just had to mention a HUGE congratulations to Lusia Steele who has been selected to represent Team GB at the Junior Worlds in August in the sprint. Very exciting trip ahead for Kenny methinks

You'll know this already if you're on Facebook, but just to keep everyone in the picture. Huge win for oor Lusia today, wholly justifying her selection to the GB Team for world championships next month. Reward for dedication: her's and Kenny's. Chuffed to bits for the whole family.

Had some fun today at Vuelta stage finish in 2015 (Dumoulin) and 2017 (Froome). The 20% slopes are an outrageous way to finish a stage

Thank you for all of the messages. It certainly was a big week. Two Stripey jumpers and a silver. Miss Steele leaves for Manchester on Wednesday for a holding camp before flying out to Aigle for the Junior World Champs which start on the 15th August Me? Well, I’ve just opened another bottle of red :-)

You saying Frenchman can’t hurt themselves for 15 minutes? Cedric must be able to knock out a sub 16. Failed today in my attempt to go under 2 hours for 50 miles. So sore it took me 5 minutes to peel me off the bike. So sore I’m kind of proud of myself Yes, you are probably right about the French. They’re too smart

Lads, let me contact them and see what the options are... will let you know asap

Graham will be the captain and I am the stoker on Charlotte the tandem. Thinking we should call ourselves team Staying Upright For Few Extreme Runs (S.U.F.F.E.R.).

I am going Paul, that's the down side of the spare ticket, they need to sit next to me. Keep that quiet though. Billy, are you kitted out in your usual big purple outfit?

I know. Not having a bike is a pretty lame excuse. Darryl, take a jacket and gloves or you’ll get cold waiting on top of all those hills.

Epic stuff! Come on the Jets

Well done, indeed. Admin, please remove as this is not AT ALL Wheelers appropriate but mainly as a small part of me dies when a young person achieves success.

Looking at tonights league results and comparing to last year - Fullarton were 3rd with 2 hours 11 mins 47 seconds (average of 16.28). JWCC had 7 tonight and combined for 1.55.40 (average of 16.31). So Fullartons time from last year and challenging for spot on the podium isn't out of reach. There is one complication - unfortunately Richard wont be able to count for the cup because of a rule banning those who have won Scottish medals in the last 3 years. Which is a shame because having someone capable of low / sub 15 would help a lot!

If this does go ahead I'll timekeep, then those who want to are free to ride.

Yes but only day time

Very well, in the interests of not getting wet and cold tonight, tonight's event will not take place. There will be no social run to the sponsors. Do not pass Go, do not collect £200.

Me & Coutie not drinking on a strict panic diet

Who else is coming out to join in the 2 up fun - with the added incentive of an opportunity for refreshments afterwards? It's an opportunity for those yet to have a go at time trials to give it a try, including new members.

Ginty - have you booked the ‘bus’ yet as after having a quick look at the Europecar site it’s almost half the price to hire two basic 5 seater cars as it is a 9 seater. (9 seater was approx 790e unless you’ve got a better deal). Two basic cars and and a transit will take all 12 of us.

Just checked and I am in fact working on wednesday like JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD. Have a great ride and post pics. Afternoon tea by sunny Tarbert harbour is in Conde Nast Traveller magazine's list of top ten world attractions, just behind the pyramids and the Drymen pipe track.

Hi Andy Hope to see you out soon.

Hi Andy, welcome on board. Like Chung says, the club runs section is the place to look for club runs, You should start with the 30-milers section to gauge your fitness level, and move on to longer runs as your fitness improves or if you find it too easy. No one gets dropped or left behind, so if you're out with a bunch, and struggling, they will wait. The meeting place is usually Miller St. at the clubroms. You will be made very welcome.

Hi Andy, Welcome to the club & forum, good to have you! You can keep an eye on the “Clubrun” section if you have access to that part of the forum. There’s usually Sunday runs or during the week postings, just pick one that suits you and let the folks know, turn up & introduce yourself & the guys & gals will look after you! Alan McLean is the club member secretary, so you can PM him for any info. you need! As far as I know, a few members stays in Elderslie like Andrew Dunn & Darryl :-) Hope to see you out on the road soon! All the best Chung

The final episode of the league of 10 is this Tuesday, 24th July. 7:15 meet for 7:30 off, usual riders and helpers required please. I intend to ride, assuming other people do too. Post up if you're coming.

There's signal controlled roadworks just before Inchinnan westbound from Renfrew. No diversion, just the cntraflow.

Sorry just back from holiday and loaded with the cold or would have given this a shot .
