2 TICKETS FOR ME AND KAT PLEASE

UNFORTUNATELY MYSELF AND KATRINA WONT BE ABLE TO MAKE KEEP FIT TONIGHT.

Please accept my appologies, Myself and Katrina wont be able to make the AGM, Katrina is heading for Edinburgh and I've been left to do my fatherly duty and watch Aron.

Heya Graham Cockburn, didn't you reconise him? and it wasn't me..... Now just play detective for a minute and ask yourself why would a wheeler be in Babcocks? what other companys are within the business centre, I'm sure you'll work it out

Personally I felt that it was safer starting at Port Glasgow. It means that you do not have to cross over onto the fast lane to turn at the newarc roundabout. The Newarc roundabout is fine if you hit it lucky and there is no traffic behind you, however if you're unlucky the cars approach probably doing over 70mph and even after breaking areentering the roundabout, I'd guess at roundabout 40mph. at those speeds and a setting sun in the drivers eyes, you'd have no chance. (it was frightening watching the cars approach it whilst timekeeping) The Bishopton roundabout turn isn't perfect, but if you go down the sliproad on the inside, keeping this position till the roundabout, you will have a decent view (not perfect, I admit) of oncoming trafic and at worse have the option to keep to the outside of the roundabout and break if there is a car. Also the cars are travelling much slower giving both the driver and the cyclist half a chance. It was good at the club champs having Campbell at the turn, maybe if numbers permitted we could have a marshal?

Congratulations........ What Brilliant news to start a Thursday morning with..... George & Katrina

A big thanks to Jim and Louise Dunlop for doing the timing and to Vicky for pushing us off. Times Ian Cowden 25.31 David Raymond 29.18 Mike Feguson 25.15 Howie 24.49 Stevie the blomSTAR 22.21 George Hamilton 23.00 Frank Kennedy 25.00 Another Awesome ride from the BlomSTAR, showing us why he's considered to be one of the top timetrialists. Rides of Note are those of David Raymond who went nearly 2 mins faster this week in similar conditions to last and a great ride from "Howie" returning after what sounded like an Awesome tour of Ireland........ Frank was also on for a cracking time however he had to stop after his chain came off, which I'm sure must have lost him quite a bit of time. Next week is the JWCC club championship, Katrina has volunteered to do the timing, so lets have a big turn out for the first of this years trophy events.

A tough night with quite a strong head wind on the way out. 1st fastest on the night was Stevie Blom. The competition between the JWCC was very close with only a few seconds separating the first three 1st JWCC rider was Frank riding a WOW bike and recording a 24.24 2nd JWCC rider was Seb, just back from a long training session in Israel and recording a 24.36 3rd JWCC rider was Colin, who said that he even had time to stop for a drum up, but was held up when the matches wouldn’t light recorded a 24.49 All the times Mike 25.44 Dave 31.08 Stevie 22.54 Seb 24.36 Frank 24.24 John 32.48 Greg 29.10 Colin 24.49 Ian 26.10 We are looking for a volunteer for timekeeping next week. Katrina has said that she will timekeep at the Frank Lauder, so there is no excuse for not riding…(I’m not sure if that was aimed at all of us or just me)

I've just had a hard long weekend of climbing on Skye, so my legs are pretty gubbed, so I'll volunteer to do the time keeping tonight. Unfortunately I don't have a digital watch / stop watch, so could someone bring one please Campbell Crombie sends his appologies as he'll not be attending tonight. Cheers George

A brilliant night to kick things off, Quiet hot and sticky, a slight head wind on the way out and a slight tail wind on the way back. Starting at the Newark roundabout end seemed strange especially at the turn where it felt like we should be stopping. Thanks to Katrina and Bump for doing the timekeeping Davy Raymond 28.33 Greg Baldon 27.59 John Jonstone 30.57 Ian Cowden 24.42 Colin Howard 23.52 Campbell Crombie 25.23 George Hamilton 21.46 Mike Ferguson 25.09 Ian Lochrane 28.48 Jim Daly 23.04 Ramsay Muirhead Mechanical problem (DNF)

what an awesome ride from the Mullholanders, absolutely amazing

Myself a Campbell reorded a post cruise time of 17.15.......... Ian Manson was trying in vain to loose everything last night Vicky's licence, £25 in cash (heart breaking for an accountant)..... fortunately all were returned....... If the Licence and money wasn't bad enough, He and Jim were given a time of 17.59 which I'm sure was due to them loosing a minute somewhere and their actual time was a 16.59.

Sorry Vicky, Campbell is back from his cruise and has asked if I'm still doing it with him......... I'm not sure I'd be able to keep up with you anyway, there was blood and guts streaming from me last week whilst you looked as if you'd hardly broke sweat. It's frightening to think how fast you'll be going in your new stead...

Kenny, George Cowan did the timekeeping, I'm not sure if anyone took a note of all the times from him....... to make things a little easier, due to the numbers he didn't shout names, just numbers, which seemed pretty fair. Myself and Vicky were team no. 15 and we did a 15.35........ well we would have done if we hadn't been held up by a car on the way out, so ended up recording a 17.20.
