Not too impressed with the BBC coverage to date but maybe they will do better tonight!! Here is a link to the report for Saturday's races which show our win in the 1km time trial in a new world record time of 1:09.054. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_s ... 348798.stm We were disappointed to only qualify for the bronze ride in the pursuit yesterday but we rode our socks off to secure the bronze medal in a faster time of 3:38.196 than we rode to win Gold in Beijing. It was also faster than the Irish rode to win the Silver medal! Thanks

Just a note to let you know that the Track World Championships taking place this weekend will be shown on BBC Interactive channel 301 at the following times: Sat 7th 20:35 to 22:30 Sun 8th 12:05 to 12:30 Mon 9th 19:15 to 22:00 Please tune in. :-)

Does anyone have a good set of rollers that I could borrow over the next few weeks? Thanks Aileen

Just to let you know that the Track World Championships are taking place in Manchester this year from the 6th to the 8th November. Ellen and I will be riding the 1km time trial on Saturday the 7th in the evening session and the pursuit qualifier on the 8th in the morning and hopefully the pursuit final in the afternoon. If anyone would like to come and watch then please let me know and I can get you some tickets. This is the link to the official website if you want further information http://new.britishcycling.org.uk/paracy ... Schedule-0

It would have been better to have spent more time riding with my pilot on the road prior to this event but Ellen did a fantastic job handling the tandem on the corners and dealing with some erratic bike handling by some of the other riders. Neither of us had any prior road racing experience so although I am disappointed not have medalled I think we did alright for our first attempt.

We managed 5th place in the 48 mile road race today. Pretty pleased considering we have no prior road racing experience. Another rousting day though! :-) Aileen

Thank you No I don't think it will be on the tele.

We won Silver in the 19.4km time trial in a time of 27:59, which was faster than we thought we would go. Really pleased to have medalled. The USA won the gold and the Germans took the bronze.

Ellen and I are débuting at the UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships this Friday (time trial) and Sunday (road race) in Bogogno in Italy. Not sure of our chances but hoping to do our very best.

I am selling my kitchen which is in really good condition on Ebay. If anyone is interested then please see my listing at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... EF:GB:1123

Thanks everyone for putting up with me doing my heart rate efforts. You can visit Dennis in Wishaw General Hospital.

Dennis and I will be at the clubrooms for 9:30am if anyone wants to join us on around about a 3 hour run. Aileen

I would just like to thank Dennis for organising a wonderful day, Kenny for being a fantastic pilot, Kev for transporting me and the tandem there and back and Morag for her wonderful hospitality! Looking forward to next year's run and will remember to bring some warmer clothes. Aileen

Hi there, In case you missed the program you can watch it on the BBC iplayer at http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... 5_05_2009/ until tomorrow evening. The cycling is only on for a disappointing 6 minutes and is 41 minutes into the program. Aileen

Hi Kev, That would be great. The Trek has mudguards on it which Vicky couldn't get off the last time we tried so it measures about 204cm with them on but we could use the Co-motion tandem which measures around 190cm. Thanks Aileen
