duncan thomson

sorry, working all weekend duncan

mark, I am not able to come on thursday due to work I would be looking for bib shorts and a short sleeve jersey, I am guessing medium. would be interested in arm wamers too duncan

good show from the jets isla mccutcheon podium in the U8 with a typical strong performance, wee rowan johnston did the jersey proud on his 16" (20) tyres Jamie Thomson and Colin Arthur were in a huge U12 and U10 field and went well Hamish MacLaren tried his best to keep Jamie Johnstone in sight and finished in a podium position Hamish McLean enjoyed his race on the big course in the U14/ U16, quite a step up All in all, a good effort from all duncan I drove the car, and ate the bacon roll!

Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud, Nothing quite like it for a cyclocross race. Excellent races, Jets good showing in all races. Chapeau to Hamish and Cameron in U12 race, sooo smoooth and fast. Duncan

precisely

put it another way, sounds a good winter bike

A point of order. surely, n= current number of bikes. n+2 is a theoretical value. As soon as n+1 is attained, n+1=n. z= the number of bikes it is possible to own without significant spousal grumbling y= number of bikes (bike) thought required by said spouse. note z>y your status may be z+2.

Iain, Yes, you can have it from me anytime as I have still got a sair neck from my flying dismount. Assuming Ramsay is happy with that. I think paperwork needs to be completed Duncan

powerpoint then?

Paul McDonald, so good they named him twice... :banana He likes bananas

yes, much enjoyed by both fraser and jamie (and me) thanks duncan

indeed, I saw my role as making everyone else feel good duncan

hmm, as paul said, the track is not the place to find your fitness. Turns out he's right. Having said that the third race, scratch I think, I was starting to feel good (not awful) and sitting on a wheel when there was an odd noise somwhere. At this point, I should have gone up track to avoid what was obviously a crash about to occur. Oddly, it didn't occur to me until the next day, track novice A wee bit of help. So, once the three in front of me, including colin were scattered to the winds, I saw a gap, great, but as you already guessed, gravity caused the rider to slide down, fill the gap and I went over him. The velodrome roof looked great between my knees as I performed a beautiful parabola and landed on my head. I know this because the remains of the cote d'azure were left on the top of my helmet. The inner helmet is cracked all the way through to the shell. Bottom line: glad I was wearing a helmet. Enjoyed the night though. The Joansin' performed well in all races. Duncan

D for me as I couldn't find E. duncan.

Scottish youth crit champs, Ingilston, Edinbugh good turnout from jets from A to E. windy day with exposed courses both with decent straights and tight turns. Plenty of supporters, with good view of courses. Isla McCutcheon had good race on new bling white Islabike, 3rd in girls U8. Jamie Thomson 2nd in boys U8 but nowhere near Paddy Barnes from Glasgow Riderz, next time? Keir Gaffney had a good outing in the U10 and Fraser Thomson kept going in the U12, a fast race. In the U12, Hamish MacLaren had a great race, always within a few wheels of the front and finished 3rd not far off a very good Alfie George from Discovery. Cannot comment on the U14 and 16 but saw the Mulholland lads, fresh from overseas stage racing. Hope I didn't miss anyone out With option of vets circuit race, I went for lunch duncan

two kids please, if 12 is the smallest, then one of each size thanks duncan plus one for me too ?size? thanks

two and two kids thanks duncan

I have a trailer which I suspect would be suitable. It is a bit dusty but serviceable last time I looked. You are welcome to have a look and take it off my hands for any reasonable offer. I ma way this weekend but could try and post a picture if you are interested duncan

Ha. Ian I agree about the 10lap scratch. I was coughing for about 10minutes after that. Thought I was finished. Anyway success for me was two consecutive races not being dropped! Even managed a sprint (sort of) and a few laps off the front waiting for Alan who didn't realise it was me. I was all for taking a lap. Yeah right. Summary: not fit enough but great fun. Martin made disparaging remarks about my lack of souplesse, more like a sack of tatties. Try again when it restarts :-) Duncan.

while you wait, and wait for me to finish?

Amazed that you could perform so well. Just imagine how you would have done if you had been concentrating on the cycle rather than doing your roving report for "Homes and Garden" Duncan

is there an E section? gulp duncan

to be fair, Alan hasn't a clue. He finishes triathlons so quick that he barely gets time to feel out of breath. At the other end of the field, triathlons are generally friendly affairs. almost everyone worries about the swim, no need, it is a small part of the race, even if you breast stroke and some do, you won't lose much time. Bike is well a bike, assume most here know how to do that, running is easy for some, er, well, some... duncan
