barky Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 See link below for flyer containing entry info for the WOSCA track championships plus Open Senior & Youth Omniums. The event is on Saturday 5th June, the championship events are open to West of Scotland Cycling Association club members, the Omniums will be open to all riders, so hopefully of interest to track league riders. The weather & track has been booked, would be great to get a few teams of 3 riders for the WOSCA team sprint, we know loads have been on the track, so it's time to buy some new tubs, dust off the cobwebs and get that bike with no brakes out of the shed. The Johnstone Wheelers must surely be able to muster 3 riders and 3 track bikes for the WOSCA team sprint championship? Download the pdf file here with all entry info, it's perfecty safe and virus scanned. http://www.mediafire.com/file/vztyiywywmv/WOSCA Track Championships 2010.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan M Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williecosh Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Johnny and me can take two riders and two bikes through to Meadowbank. Get in touch to arrange. Willie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williecosh Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 If all the guys going next weekend to race can get organised and desire it, I can get a company minibus to take us there - room for 9 people including the driver (me!) and about 5 bikes on board. This is a freebie, but somebody else has to organise a central pick-up! W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim Daly Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Willie Please pencil me in as a passenger If there are any problems with space for riders and/or bikes, I can always go in my own car. Where is most "central" for you? Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions martin Posted May 30, 2010 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Think there are a couple of Jets planning on racing next Sat. Any booster seats in the minibus? M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williecosh Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hi Guys, I don't mind two or three pick-ups in the Renfrewshire area, so that makes 6; me, Johnny, Jim, Martin & 2 Jets. There is plenty of room behind the back seats for about 6 bikes and gear. We can firm up on times and fine detail, later in the week. First come, first served for the remaining 3 seats! Sounds like it could be a great day. W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim Daly Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I have a few queries: Martin, Will you be able to bring a couple of sets of rollers for team use? I could be at Martin's house on Saturday morning, if that simplifies the pick-up. Jonathon, What gearing(s) would you recommend for me for the various events and can rear disks be used in all events? I would prefer to avoid changing things on the day. Does anyone have campagnolo or miche track nuts that I can borrow for Saturday (I've already ordered a set from Ian Dooley)?

williecosh Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hi Jim, If you can go to Martin's house that would be good. Johnny should have some campag nuts, I'll check tomorrow. We can bring one set of rollers. W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyS Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Jim, I have a set of rollers if you wish to borrow Down south today but will be home tonight. Give me a call if required Kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan M Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 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.

2023 Subscriptions martin Posted June 5, 2010 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Well done to Jim and Johnny, both medallists at Meadowbank today. There were three 'podium races' in the champs, and all the steps were occupied by either JWCC or Dooleys riders. Johnny took bronze in the sprint, and Jim took silver in the pursuit and bronze in the 8km. Bit more practice for Jim and John and these guys could be good! Well done to the Dooleys riders too. Three Jets raced too: Morgan B in the youth C class and Euan H and Lewis M in the youth B's. Results still to be published, don't think there are any podium places to report but all raced well and gained massive experience. Very well organised event, weather was splendid too. Who needs a roof on a velodrome anyway? Next track event Dundee on the 19th. Enter now at entrycentral: you'll love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jim Daly Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Great day out at Meadowbank in largely perfect conditions. Very enjoyable, despite being mugged in the pursuit final. Jonny displayed real potential on the track. A real Team effort. Medals would not have been possible without Willie as Directeur Sportifs and Mechanic and Martin as Soigneur, massaging our egos with many trackside photos.

Iain M Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 BRILLIANT JONNY & JIM plus the Jets the future is bright the future is yellow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnycosh84 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Yeah, a cracking day, and the podium finishes for Jim and I would not have been possible without the help and assistance from my Dad and Martin, so thanks a lot for that guys! Jim was very unlucky in the final, different gearing would have resulted in a gold medal for him as he did set the fastest pursuit time of the day. Just to say that the Johnstone Jets were on very good form too and there is a lot of potential for the future! Also, thanks Martin for holding me in the sprints, especially when one of them got delayed, I'm not the lightest!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Cowden Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Fantastic performances from Jonny and Jim - news of your success was the talk of the Eastwood Toll bunch this morning! Very well done to all the JWCC & Jets competing. Iain and Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williecosh Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Johnny and I had a brilliant day and not just because of the results and the weather! Jim and Martin were great company and we had some good laughs, impressive wins and glorious losses - the works! The event organisation was great, bar a couple of minor communication problems. The officials were really excellent. The wee Jets continue to represent Johnstone admirably and it is obvious their day will come. The young Dooley's riders were/are talented and formidable, but not unbeatable! Next time there is an event like this we should get organised, take a big team and really go for it. Jim, Johnny, Martin and I learned a lot, but mainly that the other teams have a plan A, with plans B & C as contingencies (great tactics, in other words). With only two riders, we had very limited options, but the guys were very close to pulling off three golds - seriously! Jim was especially unlucky; with a bigger team and more technical help, we could have had different bikes set up with more gear options for him. In my opinion, that was all that stopped him cleaning up. Because he had a go at just about everything, it was difficult for us to change chainrings, sprockets and bars quickly enough between events. We did have a major technical triumph when we changed a wheel super-quick when a tyre exploded, due to the heat, just before the pursuit. Johnny used the pursuit to calm his nerves and try out a new wheel configuration. We noticed that one of the most impressive Dooley's guys was using a Zipp 404 type front wheel and a large flange Campag-type rear. We tried that during the pursuit and Johnny said it felt good, although he struggled in the event itself. His rear wheel spokes were also tied & soldered for stiffness. We also geared him up to about 97" (48x13) for the sprint and it worked a treat. We should organise a few velodrome training days for interested, but perhaps apprehensive, members who could expand the team. Wouldn't a couple of club velodrome training weekends in Manchester or Newport be brilliant, during the winter? W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
