Good fun tonight with me Stevie and Sam in C and Cedric in A.
Stevie 4th and me 5th in scratch, Sam had a touch of the dreaded flesh eating man flu and departed after a couple of races, Stevie and I scored points in points race but not enough to scare leaderboard, then I got 4th in devil which was very frustrating as I made a rookie error and thought there were 3 of us left and we were on the lap before the final sprint with one guy rolling round before pulling off, so cruised over line and got eliminated to end up 4th.

Me, next week is pursuits night then no track league till January.
 

just sayin like, I somehow thought the definition would include climbing god, sprint king etc, but alas, no...
bison. a large, wild animal, similar to a cow but having a larger head and hairy shoulders, found esp. in North America
 

1st time this year we had the full grimness of Scottish weather with wet and cold up the coast. However the 14 strong, fast, disciplined and smooth rolling bunch made you forget the weather. It was a Carlsberg day for lights through Greenock and Gourock and I got my 2nd fastest time from westferry to cloch by just a few seconds and I'm sure the day I got the faster one had a screaming tailwind. 
After Largs there were 8 and Galeb joined us during the interlude to keep the pace rolling. I maxed out again by Kilbirnie and bought a ticket on the Galeb train back to Lochwinnoch. 
Hope the many JWCC squadra had a good run back over the Heelie
 
 

And talking of looking young !!! With Stevie Finnegan, Graeme Herd and Drew Wilson, early 90's I think before Tour of the Kingdom 

Happy days

Darryl, is that Kenny Christie next to you on the Kapelmuur?
Love all the photos .................. man, everyone looks so young :-) .......... Even Mulholland 

Jan. I did consider a track session Saturday afternoon but there are none listed on the App.
Easy decision then, bogs bunch it is !

yip, great wee sesh with the derny,

Stevie, I have fitted your 49 ring to try, thanks for the loan - not going to make track league as missed midnight deadline Thursday, emailed to plead case 5.30am Friday morn, have not had a reply.
 

Hopefully the title says it. Wee visit to Calpe, home of the pro teams in Feb/March, home of silky smooth Costa Blanca roads, home of many cheap bars and restaurants, home of Col de Rates 24-7 time trial, home of imho, the best 10km stretch of road in the world - just don't ask me which 10km as quite a few to choose from.
Suggestion is
fly out Thursday 6th June 7am flight means in Calpe 1.30pm, its a 50 min drive to Calpe from Alicante. My suggestion is to hire small car as they can take 2 x bike bags and 2 people and cheap. The theory of a large van has always worked out a lot more expensive in my experience. Get in a couple hours acclimatisation ride Thursday pm. Big rides Friday, Saturday and  Sunday, I am happy to provide routes and variety. Return Monday or stay longer if you wish as you will know the roads by then.
Is there an appetite for this? there was last night when beer was involved
Calpe has bike hire options so no problem there if that is your preference.

Lower JWCC representation tonight with Cedric me and Stevie. Cedric was in about it as usual in the A's. Stevie and I in the C's where there are 4 races. Stevie 4th and me 5th in first race, 2nd and 6th in next one (oh so close for Stevie, well done), Stevie got a sprint in the points but with some gaining a lap it might not be enough for top 5, in the final devil I was 5th. Enjoyed being in C's as I am only able to be at the thrashing and getting lapped end of the B's just now with work commitments getting in the way of cycling
