James Esus Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1d/Col_de_Braus-small.jpg The history of JWCC info was a really good insight into the beginnings of the club, however they missed out the mystical climb in the small commuting village of Bishopton! Back in the good old days, the Scottish road race used to go over and back over this mighty climb with the race often being decided over this monster of a climb! Some parts are so vertical that cyclists front wheels often lifted off the ground and the pros used to add weights to the front of their bikes! I'm sure some of the older club members can share fond memories of this climb as unfortunately due to new roads, motorways, housing estates and land movements over the years it has sadly now become a small rise heading into Bishopton, the souls of cyclists past are often heard grunting and breathing heavily on foggy winter nights! al yuille, Iain67, Richie Cross and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
