Chung,
 
It didn't seem all that hilly, granted it was fairly rolling other than the Bowfield and the ramp coming out of Stewarton nothing to write home about. Whodathot?
 
Still a good work out for me on my return to something like a bit of form.

No midgies on the slip road tonight.
 
Only 5 riders out.
 
John S. 29.10
Iain Cou. 26.08
Ian McG. 25.30
Mike. 25.14
Big Al. 22.46

Nearly, but they all came back to close together!

...Bradley Wiggins wearing a velvet Paul Smith suit while sipping a doppio espresso listening to 60's jazz on Bose headphones. Niiiiice....

I'm still riding!

Don Smith gets a mention on the Tour of California coverage on Eurosport, come on Brian, there's a case of Bud in it for you if you mention the Wheelers too

Official results are in.
 
Elaine was 2nd female (by a mere 3 seconds!) and 14th overall out of 71 finishers!!
 
:banana :banana :banana

I'm guessing I'm the plus one unless she's not told me something

Were the bogs bunch dates not already added to your wall planner?

Cheers Billy,

We'll done Danny, Lewis and Richard

Be at least a Youth B (age 12) and get advice from club coaches if you are starting as a youth.
 
Get track accreditation. See elsewhere on forum and Braveheart for hints how to get this quickly. This is a compulsory six hour programme to ensure a minimum safe standard.
 
If you can pass accreditation and hang on behind a 50kph derny you can race
 
Get a British Cycling race licence, around thirty to seventy quid depending on add-ons.
 
You must have a BC licence, the coms (referees) are checking this at the track
 
Apply online through the BC website with your BC race licence number and credit card (£10 for senior, £5 for younger riders) by 1800 on the Sunday before.
 
Apply to enter Group D. Although this is nominally the "starting group" the organisers mix up the groups a fair bit so there are some pretty experienced riders in it.
 
Arrive at track by six to sign on. You can hire a bike for the evening for £10-£15. If you arrive by six this gives you time to sign on, change and warm up for 20 minutes. Last sign on is 1840 so you can still get there from work.
 
Find the JWCC group in track centre and set up rollers if you have them.
 
Racing starts at 7. There are currently five groups, A,B,C,D,Youth with four races each so you may have 20 mins between races. Youths race early and finish by 2030ish. Seniors finish about 2150.
 
Check the program and get to the starting gate 5 minutes early for your race.
 
Follow the coms instructions. Drink water. Have fun. Cheer clubmates.
 
Post a report.
 
 
Alan
