  1. Thoroughly enjoyable run in good company. Just what the doctor orders.
  2. Will join you tomorrow. Want David to teach me how to climb hills.
  3. Hi Davie, will be at clubrooms at that time for Jets run. We normally meet 9.15 for wheels rolling 9.30. Could maybe join up for a bit of you like?
  4. Hi Geo, just as Billy points out damage is due to wear and tear. For clarity Jets have never used the turbos - we are roller only. Regarding checks to ensure kit is respected - agreed, all we would need is a volunteer to do so.

  6. One of the best club runs going. Weather, roads, company, food and drink all of the highest calibre. And a couple of pints at the sponsor's hoose to round the day off too. We should copy this for the whole club run next year.
  7. And remember he only takes cash, no cards!
  8. Anyone thinking of going to rvv next year? I'm going with a wee bunch of 7 Jets and dads and Chung and we have booked group accomodation. 10km from Oudenaarde, less than 100 for the weekend. May have some spare digs if any members are planning a trip. Give me a shout if so. This is where we are staying http://www.buikberg.com/
  9. Paul, fancy meeting BoW 8.30? I can help to escort your whisky.
  10. Not aiming for PB's, just like sleeping that's all. Will see you there.
  11. It takes an hour to ride from the Clune to McInroy's point?
  12. Sounds like fun if it's a good day. Might see if the young lad is up for it.
  13. This on Facebook today; do we support the motion? --------- Could everyone please ask their club secretary (or someone on behalf of each club) to email their clubs vote in support of this proposal to the CTT Scotland District Secretary [email protected]. A simple email saying "We support the the Velopreda proposal to keep crash hats compulsory for all TTs in Scotland" CTT Scotland AGM 2018 Proposal: From Velopreda. That all events promoted under the auspices of CTT Scotland District will have a compulsory crash helmet rule in line with that currently in force by British Cycling and the UCI. As local District regulations cannot override CTT National regulations it will be implemented in Scotland by means of a voluntary 'gentleman's agreement' between clubs and riders. Reasons- 1. We should not abandon a safety measure which has been successfully implemented in Scotland for over 25 years. 2. The recent trend towards removing helmets in hill climbs gives an unfair advantage to riders who are prepared to sacrifice safety over riders who are not. Keeping the Helmet rule in place will ensure a level playing field for everyone. 3 Riding without helmets in hill climbs could potentially lead to riders abandoning helmets in other TTs 4 The argument that helmets are not required in hill climbs is not a valid one – Helmets are designed and tested to protect against head impact injury resulting from a fall from a height of between 1 and 2 meters onto a pavement or kerb edge at a speed ranging from 0mph -15mph – exactly the type of speed a rider would be travelling at in a hill climb. 5 Regardless of the arguments surrounding helmet use we feel that abandoning a safety measure currently in place is a completely retrogressive step for Scottish time trialling and we hope the District will agree to pass this proposal.
  14. Working late in Edinburgh so unable to open up, sorry.
  15. Thanks all for not letting me wimp out when legs fell off at bridge, not to mention dragging me along before that. Another great run in fine company.
  16. Fecking hard work at times. In fact most of the time. Cheers for waiting for me at various points, great run and all the better with the buzz of a 77kmh Crow Road descent with only crappy cx cantis at your fingertips. But who wants to slow down on the way to the cafe stop anyway?
  17. Will be there with a creaky bottom bracket
  18. Agreed. Used that very link to plan routes fpr Annecy holiday in 2016. Semnoz, Forclaz great, Arpettaz just sublime. Annecy is just the berries too.
  19. Thomson (Jamie) and Gaffney (Keir). Pair of Jets.
