For sale: 1 Corima Aero Carbon rear wheel complete with Continental tub. This is an excellent wheel which has seen some use but is in very good condition. It is perfectly true and the bearings are super smooth. You can spin this and go and make a cuppa and it'll still be spinning These are wheels ideal for tt or rr. It is for Campagnolo 9or10speed, although you can use it with Shimano as well. They retail around the £350 mark Grab yourself a bargain and go even faster for only £200 ono. cheers Darryl

Many congratualtions all the best Darryl

New Scottish Institute of Sport cyclist Aileen McGlynn together with tandem partner Ellen Hunter grabbed two wins as Britain notched up 11 golds at the Velodrome as Britain's track cyclists enjoyed an impressive night at the Paralympic World Cup in Manchester. McGlynn and Hunter claimed back-to-back wins against Lindy Hou and Janelle Lindsay in the tandem sprint and then beat the Australians again in the 1km time trial. Meanwhile, partially-sighted cyclist McGlynn and pilot Ellen Hunter were delighted to have got revenge on Australia in the tandem sprint final after the Australians triumphed in Athens last year. "It was a more even race than in Athens and it was great to beat the Australians," said McGlynn. "We had some fantastic support at the Velodrome and that put a bit more pressure on us. They did a good qualifying time but we learnt from our mistakes and worked hard," added Hunter.

Hi Paul could you put me down to ride please - but if you are in need of help on the day, then I'll happily marshal. Claire will bring some sarnies and malt loaf. cheers Darryl

Sure is...just pass the results to Stevie Blom and he'll phone them in.

Interesting post Stevie - the link is very good at explaining just what EPO is. It's an interesting thought, is it not , that your ex-pro thinks that because he could not recover and complete the 2-week race he had to resort to drugs. Isn't the point of such a race to find the riders who are the strongest, who can recover and therefore who are able to win the race...without drugs? Unless the whole peleton is doped, it must be possible to recover. You just need to train harder cheers Darryl

Goodman Stevie.

I've had a call from a Colin Shields who works for the Herald. He wants to put our confined midweek tt results, and anything else we care to give him, in the paper. I take it that this is a good thing. All we need is a volunteer to phone him on the night - does not matter if it is late. Someone who does the tts would, of course, be ideal. It would only take 2 or 3 mins and would be great publicity for the club and a great boost to new and old members alike to see their names in the paper - provided they make the first 3 or best lady Could a volunteer please e-mail me and I'll pass his details on. cheers Darryl

Hi Paul intending to ride, but will happily help if you are short of marshalls etc. Darryl ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all your computer needs, spares & repairs - PC Express, Love Street, Paisley 0141-561-0323 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those of you not already in the know and aspiring to CG selection, SCU have detailed criteria for selection to the squad.

Alister Ogg (VC Astar ) has written to all WOSCA clubs asking if we could possibly help with officials for the race. It is being organised by his club, but it is actually a WOSCA event, and technically we are obliged to help out, although Alistair hasn't put it that strongly. We have a number of riders participating, but if any-one feels thay could help out - just for one day, then his contact details are: Alister Ogg 152 Bonnyton Drive Eaglesham G76 OLU Telephone: 01355 303546 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all your computer needs, spares & repairs - PC Express, Love Street, Paisley 0141-561-0323 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Arran trip is ON Weekend 17th April. Plan is to cycle to the ferry (time to be confirmed) and then over to the hostel at Lochranza. For those that want to, a lap of the island is then an option Return Sunday retracing our route. All who wish to join us post here. cheers Darryl ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all your computer needs, spares & repairs - PC Express, Love Street, Paisley 0141-561-0323 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great report big man. with all those kgs you've lost you'll be flying up the climbs if you make it over to France this year The Pyrenees is the place to be though... BTW. if anyone reads this and fancies a trip to see the tour and ride the famous cols, then a trip is organised for 2nd week in july. If anyone is interested give me a call.

I think it is probably me getting the wrong end of the stick here. Stevie's original post mentioned the APRs and the TT. So it looks as though the APR- as advertised in the Confined Calender - is not running. As for the 31st - sorry guys - I'm away on holiday. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all your computer needs, spares & repairs - PC Express, Love Street, Paisley 0141-561-0323 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So what's the plan? Is there going to be an APR on saturday at RNAD? How many laps? Is anyone going to do it? I would if we had enough bodies for a decent session. In the past few years myself and a couple of others have turned up only to find no-one there...which is annoying So who have we got? Kat Paul McD Stevie Blom Darryl Kenny Mac Kenny S It's not enough - we need a critical mass - say 20 bodies. so if 20 (or so) people commit tonight by posting here I'll come along. cheers ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all your computer needs, spares & repairs - PC Express, Love Street, Paisley 0141-561-0323 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
