Rubbing what in, the factor 30?

Probably not going to be back from Aberdeen in time....
 
McGinty....

You can't prove there was a tailwind!

Well done to all the Joansin riders. Thanks to all who gave up their Sunday morning to marshall, push off and sign on.
And big thanks to Kenny who spends a lot of time making events like these happen, from all the work beforehand and on the day

I plan on riding on my own cause I don't like anybody or because Mcginty dumped me for Mark O and his stabilisers

Saturday is the 24th.
 
Alas I have come down with Donnelly flu, it's like man flu but more melodramatic.
 
 
 
 

I will do sign on job

Mark,
 
Some of our club mates are ladies so using the term WAGS isn't really appropriate.
 
Unless you also refer to their partners as HABS.
 
OK that doesn't really work.
 
But it's not a good idea to send your wife to the shops with your girlfriend either.
 
 

I'm available to help out........

Nice one, Gintster,
 
Bike all day without other cyclists to annoy you
 
Bliss

Scorcher of a day for a solo Tighnabruaich run, mucho sun lotion applied, mucho water consumed, and by the time I had the last of my cheese sandwiches it was actually a cheese Toastie... Lunch on the beach at Kames, what a glorious part of the country it is...86 very hot miles by the time i got home See me? See happy?

An interlude: The (amateur) grimpeur’s manifesto
 
Climb. Lots.
The climb is your friend. It will teach you something.
The point of the journey is not to arrive. It is the experience.
That said, arriving at the top quicker will shorten the duration of the pain.
There are no shortcuts to climbing faster. Absolutely none.
Though shalt not covet another rider’s sub-1,300g climbing wheels.
Use the big ring at least once on every climb.
Lighten yourself before trying to lighten your bike.
We all dream of a 39×23 being our lowest gear and still being able to climb anything.
Race to train. Train to climb.
The only races worth really racing are hill climbs. You should bury yourself.
Race not to best other riders but to best yourself.
If you compete in crits or road races for training, you must attack on every climb. No exceptions. Getting shelled out the back may happen frequently, but at least you animated the race.
Do a ride with over 2,000 metres of climbing at least once a season.
Glory is fleeting. Pain can last for days, or even weeks and months.
There will always be someone faster.

Well, hallawrerr china! JWCC Members Well, hallawrerr china!
 
 
The grass around the clubrooms is getting a bit on the long side, so I'm planning to be down at the clubrooms a week on Saturday 15th June for a couple of hours from 9am with strimmer in hand. With a decent handful or two of people it could be taken care of before lunchtime easily. Also planning to put up the new blinds on the internal windows.
 
Would really appreciate a show of hands to pop down and muck in...
 
Thanks
Ian......

Apparently this is quite a read Richard...

I should be out .....

Alright Billy , when you gettin the tops ordered ? Same basic design I take it but Spanish flag and red collar/ cuffs. Excellent !
 

My take on it is slightly different..... I dont think its a surprise about the drugs, and apparently he wasn't doing anything different to a lot of other pro cyclists at the time, in terms of taking the drugs. The thing that seperates him from the rest is that he as a person, was willing to continually deny, sue truethful people, have his kids believe his lies, destroy other riders careers and ability to earn a living, because of his sheer greed and lust for money, fame, iconic profile, etc, the man is a scumbag... And even listening to the interview, I didn't detect an ounce of sincerity or remorse, just a self pitying egomaniac ... Maybe in the long run the sport will benefit form the whole episode, here's hoping....

Rollers went out with the Ark, just get yourselves a perm, oops, sorry Richard

Still a poor effort, but trying my best

this week's a no-no for me, but happy to sort Billy out out with a set of keys....

Just for info, was in touch with Dave Moss about date for Jim Daly memorial next year and he told me this,
 
Also, I can reveal that, as such good supporters of past Drumlanrig challenge rides, Johnstone Wheelers will be given advance entry for as many members as they would like for 2013. This is strictly for your club members, not other friends. The Lochaber 100 sportive was fantastic, another one to consider.
 
So there you go, wheelers are a go go
