Might just venture along with my rollers if I get home in time.

There are indeed a couple of us out there Richard. Unfortunatly this one is neither well prepared or wise. Sorry Colin.

Hi Sean, If Kenny doesn't take them I will. Cheers Colin.

Look forward to seeing it speeding down a TT course soon

For Sale my daughters size 36 (UK 3) used but in good condition mountain bike shoes. A real good quality shoe in a size that would suit kids. Perfect for use with cross bike as well. Yours for £20. PM if interested. Colin PS Cleats not included.

West Glen Road........ Fair play to Inverclyde Council. There are a number of previously near unrideable back roads around the area that have nice new shiny surfaces :-) Colin

Hi all, I require the above to suit the roof rails on my new car. If anybody has some lying around unused, or know of someone who does, please PM me. Colin.

All, As part of my British Cycling Level 2 Coaching course I have sourced a valuable training video which may be of interest. Please note that it is important to have your sound turned up to fully understand the benefits of the advice given. Colin

Good to get out and complete the whole ride. Everybody working well and Greg pushing a huge gear all day. Many thanks must go to the guys for the armchair ride (especially along the 77) and patience on the climbs. And a couple of new roads for me too. Colin

Well that probably went better than I expected Hung in quite well to finish with the bunch in the 1st scratch race and may even admit to enjoying it The bloke's not well... Completely messed up the tactics in the Devil and probably went out after about 5 before me. 20 lap points race went off like a rocket even before the start of lap 1 A wee bit of help. Held onto the back of the string and lasted to about lap 15 before the elastic broke (and my legs spun into oblivion thanks to the light gearing on the hire bikes) Learned that if the A group are doing a 40lap points race they don't do the devil that was supposed to preceed my last scratch race so whilst gabbing in track centre thinking I had plenty of time I looked up to see my group starting and that was the end of my night. Excuses - Light gearing, too many young uns, still recovering from manflu and race organisers changing race schedule, £30 to race (bike and shoe hire and race entry). Positives - throughly enjoyed it, did quite well in race 1, didn't crash and didn't cause one. Probably won't be back until my track bike is built up RSN (Real Soon Now). as £120 a month for about 15mins racing is more than painful Colin

Right, i have now submitted an entry for my first (and possibly last) track league session. Obviously I have to hear that my entry has been accepted but in the event that it will be can those who have hired bikes for these sessions please advise on how to go about it. Do you have to book in advance or can you turn up on the night and pay at the hire station? Colin

Tom, just the luck of the draw. Booked level 1 for early January (just before I went back to work) and once completed there was a space on the very next session which happened to be Level 2. Followed that with Level 3 last Thursday (booked the Thursday and Friday as holidays) and popped by on the Friday morning to find that there had been a cancellation just a couple of minutes before I got there for the level 4. Happy Days Colin.

Accred 1, 2, 3 and 4 all complete in exactly a month. Now to get a(nother) bike

Those in white were supposedly clean at the time.......

In reply to Pauls post (not quite up to date tho, at least 2 characters in here that have proven to walk on the dark side):

Good to see such a healthy well formed bunch. Not so sure about altitude training Iain but I was glad I set off on my own as I completely bonked at 28miles and spent the next 7 miles grovelling on complete empty The bloke's not well... ........oh well, got to start back somewhere. Colin .
