This is copied directly from a poster being circulated: it was a PDF file so the line breaks are not right
Most people know the story..
7.50 fee goes to Riverside museum in some form or another
GrAeme Obree
Graeme Obree achieved huge press and
media attention, when he broke the hour
record on July 17th 1993. This achievement
saw him overturn Francesco Moser’s
record held from 1984. Following this
success Graeme broke the record again
on April 27th 1994. The hour record, known
in racing circles as ‘the race of truth’, has
never been broken more than 3 times by
any individual.
Join Graeme at the Tramway Theatre where
he will be talking about the innovation in
cycling and the technology behind breaking
the ‘hour record’. This will be an informal
evening with the opportunity to meet with
and ask Graeme questions relating to his
biking career.

I was having a think about this the other day. And the Arran story provided plenty of inspiration.
Personally, I think there should be a separate event for Davie based on the mainland roads he liked.

My school has a nice Scottish Exec (remember them) funded cycle shed / hangar... It's a site of vandalism and teen drinking and therefore broken bottles.
It has to go....... and it's way too big for all but the biggest gardens.
However......
It has a few sets of Sheffield (inverted U type) bike rack modules.
Tubular steel 'u's on a rectangular section modular base.
I am grabbing a few of them for me.
They'd work well in a garage or secured into concrete
They would split into 2 bike modules nicely but could go individually.
If anyone is interested let me know asap as the demolition team will arrive soon. First come first served by Private Message

Ian Allan in Erskine did our Flue / liner: might be in book if not I'll hunt out the number
The stove was fitted by Gibson and Gould: expensive but it all happens when and where it is supposed to
Have you got the stove yet?

Kenny,
I see Mulhooligan is the first to mention reliabilities- could soon be time for your annual exposition on purpose, rules and etiquette?
ps Rosneath always seemed a quality challenge as the second last one?
-
Lesley that's an admirable philosophy!
More to life than bikingand the Marmotte training can be fairly compact any way!
Anyone fancy 3 hours, not particularly technical, from 9 am off road up the West Highland Way? Kenny?
post soon or phone me on 0141-563-8508

I'm a fan of the Goretex race: (race power?) slightly insulated and they fit over mountain bike shoes;
The gore commuter ones are good too
Try evans online for last seasons Gore wear
If I was adding to my collection I'd be tempted by the Endura shiny neoprene ones.
If you get the Pro-vision aqua repel model bear in mind that its the outer sales packaging that repels the aqua- not the actual overshoe
2 pairs of overshoes with a poly bag between them might be good too...

Kenny (ex Litespeed)
We are on the winter bikes now so it's taking about an hour and 10 across to the clubrooms which is where the runs go from at 9.15

Check the BCD of the campag chainsets: it might be a funny size and not the 110 of the shimano compacts and old mtb:
on the other hand the campag stuff is so cheap that new rings are not much less
So what did you buy Kona? Major Jake? A Ritchey? Surely not a Litespeed?
Why not come out on a Wednesday night with the GMBC bunch? 2 or 3 hours in the dark- relatively technical- some crossers - some single speed etc good bunch and a cup of tea and a jet wash afterwards.

34t is not possible on a 39t campag:
from memory a campag chainset has a bolt circle diameter of 135mm, shimano road 130 (minimum tooth 38) and compacts have 110 mm which is the original MTB size before compact drive etc
The problem with this is that most old style mtb cranks will have a square taper bottom bracket. so they might not fit the fancy kit that you run on your bikes
In theory campag and shimano have slightly different taper dimensions....but not important really: http://www.highpath.net/cycles/notes/04.html
I was recently running an old campag centaur mtb with only the outer 2 rings fitted but the smaller was 38
Are you using a cross bike then or what?
You might get an old triple mtb set on ebay and LHS ergo levers shift over anything:
If you've got the 34 tooth ring and the square taper I'll lend you the chainset
You could also run a 32 tooth back block- i have in 7 or 8 speed
