Most unfortunate night for Sam who cracked front fork pre event, then Stevie discovered at sign on he had not entered. Leaving Cedric in A's, Jan in B's and me in C and millions of jets in various groups.
Cedric lighting up the A's as per, winning the elimination, Jan toughing out the B's again and getting in the action in the tempo, I was mediocre all night until the devil where I got a 2nd. When down to last 3 it was inspiring, a boy and girl with combined age of about 30 and me - this cycling can actually keep you young. At least it was a jet who won the race

Hey Charlie
Sorry about your latest and greatest mechanical mishap today - I know I should not jest...its not funny. As you know I had just joined bunch 100m before and was not sure of mood so when I said slow up there was a young man ( not appropriate to name in public) who said crack on its the Renfrew bunch. After some hesitation there was a crack on.
Now here's the thing - the same young man punctured in Greenock and had to fall on his sword and get left behind - karma or what 
Anyway - once you've cooled down - tell the world how you managed to not get on the bunch at top of Bishy hill
 
 
 
 

Gracias Paul Pense que era mas toro que burro , y si hablo un poco espanol, y para llamarme burro, puedes compartir una habitacion con charlie que suena como un burro cuando duerme 

all the best Ian, glad you are in one piece

Had a wee run in with a car on my commute home from work yesterday, spent most of last night in the hospital getting checked out, X-rays show no broken bones, so no lasting damage, just pretty sore, mainly my back, with a few other minor injuries, so won’t make it out this weekend .. 

This is fantastic. Should definetly finish the RR on the Georgetown
 

The Thursday night world champs is going global

I’ve posted minutes in section above.
main points are to give thanks to the guys who have volunteered to organise the Sam Dooley TT, (Gerard Deeley), and the Don Smith (Paul, Eric and David). Please support them and the events.
we are still looking for an organiser for the Jim Daly RR, date tbc, so please step forward if you’d like to help. There is a huge amount of experience that other club members can share with you.
Also thanks to Colin Sales who has kindly volunteered to maintain the main web site and refresh our public image. Our late good friend and riding partner Alex Baird previously looked after the site which is once again in good hands.

That was some shift from Red Smiddy to Gourock into a 'testing' headwind. When we turned onto the cross tailwind the pace ramped up. Bunch blew apart on Cloch drag leaving about 7 for the Inverkip drag. Exiting Wemyss Bay, the bunch fractured again. I soloed to Largs for a lengthy BB stop with Alan, then Billy then many other JWCC arrived. Excellent wee run back over Heely. 2 days of tank emptied this weekend - I'm sure it will be worth it at some point!

Will join at bottom of Clune. Will try to hang on till W Kilbride

I'm booking in for the 1pm session 

booked for 1, still one place left if anyone else fancies it

I'm in.

Will get you in Bishy as far as Largs.

Isn’t that you Paul, second back roll, third from the right? ........ with more hair :-)

Good to be back at track. Cedric in the top 2 or 3 in the A's, Jan toughing it out in the B's and me, Sam and Stevie in the C's. Definetly more fun to be had in C's !, in the first points race I got 7 points but not sure where that got me overall, in the scratch me and Stevie got a 1-2 in a close sprint with 3 of us within a wheel across the line, Stevie departed before the final tempo race in which Sam got an early point and I got a late one which would put us top 4 or 5.
Stevie - for info Sam and I are entering the B's next week if you want to join the gang    

Chapeau Jan and Cedric, I'm sitting here thinking life is just too short to miss a track Saturday (and I just said the exact same thing on the bogs bunch )

 

I watched A Sunday in Hell on YouTube last week during man flu incident. Still a brilliant atmospheric film that captures the insanity and glory of Roubaix
