  1. Paul drop in sessions are 9-10 every weekday morning and friday nights which i think are 6-8! A timetable exists but I'm not sure how to access it, there is one printed that sits on the wall in the bike hire bit!
  2. Bell Meteor II Helmet for sale: Size Medium (55-59cm) Weight 390g Excellent condition however been used for about 7-8 time trials (including sprint time trials). Has a few tiny scratches only visible under close inspection - these in no way shall affect performance of helmet. Perfect for time trialling on track and road. RRP £120 ( www.evanscycles.com/products/bell/meteor...utm_campaign=froogle ) I would sell this for £60 however selling to JWCC members for only £50 ono Selling as I am upgrading to a helmet more suited for track sprinting. Photos will be provided if requested Cheers Jonathan

    Don't know if I'm too late, but i would be up for it, and could probably lend a spare track bike too (52 frame i think?) albeit it has some nice pink bartape
  4. I'd be interested! Jonathan.

    Jim Daly

    I'm stunned... Jim was one of the few Johnstone wheeler's who rode track when i first started, and was always very supportive for my sprinting. I remember his first track event we did a team sprint together, vaguely remember coming 3rd! Always the first to ask about how track was going. Aloways the first to congratulate on successes. Always willing to offer help, and expected none in return. Jim was one of the most genuine characters I've met in cycling. RIP Jim Jonathan
  6. Sorry Kenny, I'm afraid the skinsuit was deemed inappropriate for kids television, needed to wait for the watershed if you want to see that I could try put a Johnstone Wheelers sticker on my socks if that would do the trick?
  7. Hi Martin The show that's on tomorrow is also at 5:15 - 6:00. And it's a live show on thursday so the number to vote will appear on the screen but I'm not too sure how they're going to do all the voting stuff... Going down to London on Tuesday just mainly advertising right now
  8. Hi Guys Next thursday myself and 14 others from my school are performing live on BBC One in 'Comic Relief does Glee' at 5:15 pm There is also a show on Monday where it shows the 'highlights' in how we got to the live shows. Its a public vote with us against 2 other groups in our category, and the winner from each category then go against each other in the "Grand Final" where The Wanted perform and with celebrity judges! Anyway the groups name is Choral Sensation, and all the proceeds goes to comic relief so feel free to vote as many times as you like! Cheers Jonathan!
  9. Best of luck Johnny at the Wheelers! You'll be sorely missed as you did give me someone to train with for some proper sprint training! No doubt I'll be seeing you at the track in some way or another next year anyway! Jonathan
  10. Here's a wee cheeky race report from yesterday. Was through at the Meadowbank Velodrome yesterday racing in the Youth's 500m TT and Sprint. With some dangerous looking weather the Youths were up first in the 500m: Jonathan Mitchell Johnstone Wheelers CC 38.32 Robbie Spence Discovery JCC 38.70 Angus Gillies Peebles CC 39.39 So i took the scottish title in the 500m Johnny Cosh was also riding the Men's Sprint and he qualified for the Sprint competition, with a time of 13.01, but going out in the first round having faced the top qualifier Bruce Croall. So a bit unlucky for him for this year. It was great to see Kayleigh Brogan back on the track racing for the City of Edinburgh though! I was then up in the sprint qualifying 1st with a time of 12.98 and being over 7 tenths of a second faster than the other youths. I progressed through the quarter finals against Emily Fyfe pretty easily, with the main aim of saving energy for the semis. I was up against 4th seed Robbie Spence in the semis and took the 1st heat after he fell asleep and i jumped underneath him, getting a good gap and winning by a sizeable margin. In the second heat i then took the front and attacked with a lap and a half to go getting a good enough gap on him and winning on the line This meant i was up against Gus Gillies in the final who qualified 3rd. In the first heat i attacked with a lap to go, pipping him on the line. Being one ride away from another Scottish title i let Gus take the front and then when he attacked we raced shoulder to shoulder round the entire lap with me just winning by a wheels length on the line So that ended an eventful day with me taking 2 Scottish titles in the bag Although I find myself for a second year in a row, asking for more representatives from the Wheelers and Jets to be racing at this event. It is a great event with Scottish medals in the offering and a bit disappointing in the fact that only one other Wheeler entered the event. Especially since the big showing at the Wosca, why should it be any different for the Scottish? Cheers Jonathan
  11. Apologies all, but i can't make it on saturday as i have a full day of for my school show ... which come to mention it its les miserables on the 14th of june if anyone wants to come see it? Tickets £6 Jim I have a set of rollers if needed, and disk wheels can be used in any event but bear in mind if there is a lot of wind, as you get blown about quite a bit. And i'm not too sure what exact gearing would suit you, probably something that keeps your legs spinning at a reasonable pace. I use a 49 x 15 as its the youth limit, but maybe a 49 14 would suit you for the bunch races, but if there are standing start TT's you might be best with a smaller gear so you can get up to speed quickly. Jonathan
  12. I'll hopefully be there! Any one else up for it? I'm sure some guys would fancy the team sprint! Ooh and can youths enter the senior sprint competition? Cheers Jonathan
