2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted November 22, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/details/157087/Scottish-Cycling-Super-Saturday-3 Not a masters event this time but the usual A,B,C and youth groups. It's an open meet so you don't need to be a member of the track league to race, although need accreditation. Keirins for A and B Course de Primes for C and Youth Elimination Points Scratch Think it is regional c+ so that means BC points available for the points and scratch. So there is a potential to go from 4th to 3rd cat with 2 4th places or better over an afternoon of racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted November 22, 2016 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 What does the New to Track group entail? Still points available or not? New to track will be in the C group and there should be points there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexb Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Old age mate. Falling apart. Knee popped just over a fortnight ago. Been out a couple of time since and power still there but very sore. Ran after dog on Sunday and it went quickly downhill. Keyhole surgery though so not too bad.

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted November 22, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Thought I'd do an Alan McLean style plug for the track, but would not even attempt to match his insane passion for all things wet, cold, muddy and equipment mashing. You could of course consider a splendid afternoon in the climate controlled theatre of dreams where you can get 5 chances to soundly thrash yourself in a wonderful variety of bunch races. Or in mad crosser style you could always rub sandpaper in your throat whilst doing sprint interval sessions in front of an electric fire on the turbo. thejanullrichdietplan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted November 23, 2016 Committee Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 sounding good and not making the pilgrimmage to Mull but prob working. After a season off I would probably want to recreate the D group. alone. CX is hard but track has a special nastiness to it. In fact all bike racing is hard even when I suck at it.

Need to dig out the L plates Be careful big chap, if your knee requires surgery should you really be hammering round the track? I recommend six months off with copious amounts of beer & kebabs.

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted November 25, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Not for me, but I do like the sound of beer and kebabs. Can you get that on the NHS? George 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted November 30, 2016 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Op on 7th December. Think I'd be pushing recovery time to be ready by 10th. At least you have a date now and you'll be back stronger than ever! There will likely be more saturday racing in January (probably the 7th, although that date isnt confirmed yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted December 10, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Great afternoon for JWCC track team, Jan wins the B scratch, Charlie 2nd in the C elimination and I won my B kieren heat then 4th in final. Very well done lads. I am as gubbed as a bogs bunch after that. Started with 4 x 6 up kieren heats in B group, 1st 2 to final. Jan and I in same heat which was a real tight finish with Jan 3rd and just missing a slot in final. I was chuft to win first race for ages. Final was an 8 up and I got 4th. Points race shortly after and my plan was not to engage too much. However I found myself in P4 on a bell lap and suddenly something switched in my head and I thought its my duty to go for it, sore legs or not, managed to win it for 5 points which gave me 5th overall. Scratch race next and Jan put in a blinder to take the win, chapeau indeed. I watched from a midfield 10th place! Afternoon finished with an eliminination and we were duly inspired watching the C elimination where Charlie rode a truly excellent tactical race and finished 2nd. The B elimination ended with a 6th for me, not too sure for Jan as frankly I was seeing stars and had totally emptied the tank. alexb, martin, AlanT and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted December 10, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Yip great day at track. Paul was firing on all cylinders & Ian's scratch win was very very gutsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted December 10, 2016 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Enjoyable day. Great win from Paul in the Keirin heat. According to my garmin it peaked at over 40 mph on the last lap so it was a fast one. Points race was next, put all my eggs in the breakaway basket but we got caught. Paul with a good 5th place which should mean some BC points coming his way (apparently the points run from December 1st so that is 2017 points already) Next was the scratch, felt good, went hard on the front about midway through to try and string it out a bit then recovered for a few laps and things opened up nicely with about 2.5 laps to go and got the jump on everyone. Died a thousand deaths in the last 20 metres but managed to hold on. Devil mostly passed me by. C group looked to be quite a bit faster than normal with some of the youths from A and B group moved into it so that made Charlies result in the devil all the more impressive - playing the assassin then moving to the front to control things when the numbers reduced, textbook stuff and well executed!
