Second prize was 2 meals in Barrhead.

There are 2 races in Cumbria in easy reach over the next few weeks.

First of all 20th of July in Greystoke near Penrith and then on the 4th of August in Carlisle. My plan for both was to get the train down as it only takes an hour and both are riding distance from stations with no changes from Glasgow. No preenty required on either and they have a full card of Junior races too.

Also, on the 3rd of August there is a Cross up in Arbedour I was planning on doing too.

Anybody else fancy any of the above?

I've just been informed I've got an entry for "The Hardest Cross Race in the World" on september the 29th

What have I done?!

I've got another cross entry in the pipeline that isn't 100 yet, but would be very exciting... watch this space!

Phil Malcolm reacted to Ramsay in British TT - 20th June June 20, 2013

Had a meeting in the south side of Glasgow this afternoon, so came home via Stewarton. Could find any decent places to park up for tomorrow, but did pass three GB riders out on the circuit.

One of them nearly got himself killed as he overtook a pick-up and trailer who was only going slowly because of the other two in front. He pulled out at a narrowing of the road, right as a van came the opposite direction. Both van and pick-up drivers were bloody furious, and rightly so. Eventually passed the team car, where the pick-up driver got out and gave the coach an earful. With one unnecessary move (just before a hill where he was re-passed anyway!) that is almost certainly two more drivers on the "cyclist haters" list. What is worse is that whether they like it or not, team GB riders are suppose to set some sort of example.

Didn't mean to turn this into a rant, but as cyclist we often get treated like crap on the roads, so seeing people give "us" a bad name really pisses me off!

Looking forward to tomorrow night though!

Cheers,
Mr Angry From Ayrshire!

Probably headed for the horseshoe bar!

Phil Malcolm got a reaction from Darryl Gunson in Interesting article on power June 13, 2013

Vayer won't reveal his methods of calculation. He reckons he can estimate power to within 2% accuracy, but given the variables (bike weight, gradient, air pressure, wind speed, wind direction) this seems unlikely and as he won't show us his workings, how would we know? I doubt I could estimate most riders weight to within 2%.

In short, it's guess work.

I'll think of you from whatever bar in Ghent I'm in at that point!

Phil Malcolm got a reaction from martin in Bradley Wiggins, Take a Bow... June 6, 2013

From Cyclesport: At a Pinarello Launch in the middle of the Giro before Wiggins ducked out, he apologised for chucking his bike in the Trentino and said "It's not the bike, it's Shimano i'm mad at. If you're going to buy one of these, don't buy it with the electronic group from Shimano, buy the Campag one"
