Is this open to anyone

Matt Henon from GTR has asked me to publicise the Lyle Hill Race on Saturday 28 September:
https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/race-details/19509
The Lyle Hill overlooks Gourock. The Bunch pass it every time they cycle to Largs but I suspect they never take the pleasant detour to what is a wonderful view and a fantastic location.
I've just come back from the Stow triple hill race where the under 16's showed me a clean pair of heels. Hill racing is particularly suited to our lightweight juniors where restricted gearing is not a handicap. And I'd enjoy getting a stuffing from the Jets; as long as they come out on the winter Renfrew bunch and let me get my own back.
The hill takes 5mins and I suspect power climbers like Marc Kelly could press me all the way.  Then there are the hard men like Galeb and Charlie, and the softies like Richie and Billy. Be nice to see how we all measure up against each other.

Good luck George. By chance I had a good crop of hay this year, way more than I need. If you are still insisting on eating like a horse let me know. See you out sometime, if not see you in Spain.

Before Charlie gets in I couldn’t hold his wheel and had to take a short cut home, nice route though

I was third on the sprint! Not one wheel was sucked... Charlie would be proud 

Nice ride in the sunshine, sorry Glen for turning right when in fact I was being told I was shite not to turn right.

There needs to be a time cut off for getting KoM points on the Clune. I suggest 8mins. Which means nil points for everyone tonight. Flippin sandbaggers -  taking a rest up the Clune while we hammer up the Heggies.
