The track has now reopened and you have to do a reaccreditation , which will be a basic check of your track skills. So what should you do before you attend, if you ride tubs check that the tub is still glued to the rim and the glue has not become brittle , test by trying to take the tub of the wheel, check that the tub is still attached to the lighter base part of the tub, inflate and check for cracks in the rubber , if looking iffy replace. If your tubs not glued you shouldn’t be riding on taped tubs so get them glued. For clinchers , check that they are holding air, and that the rubber has not cracked or perished , again if looking iffy replace . After you have completed you first visit you will be able to book a coach lead session, there will be no drop in sessions for the next few months , this means that everybody will be doing the same thing during the session, plus numbers will be limited, these sessions will develop as numbers increase .

I would have been down first if it was not for a pesky puncture on those stupid council road blobs that pass for maintenance these days. A great turnout of cyclists and the media. It was disturbingly left to me to speak to the BBC and the Scotsman, good job I can converse in fluent gibberish. A good blast round the Campsies with many cyclists. Followed by lunch with Pippa, where we heard a load of stuff about what went on in the pro peloton back in the days; plenty of names named and shameful behaviours. Nice to see Chung, it has been too long and new member Geo.

Good turnout today for the mural unveiling - after that a ride over the Crow and then a loop through Killearn and Strathblane and back to the start. I’d like the record to state i was joint first to the top of the Crow - beating everyone else including the former Tour de France polka dot jersey winner in the process. A show of strength from Scotlands premier cycling club to the watching media.....I may have started 5 minutes before everyone else but it still counts 🤣
