Hi all,
I’ve been procrastinating for too long! Now, I’m fully committed to the adventure.

Velodrome taster session ?
so there is a bit of chat on the Facebook page about a Club taster session, and a fair number of members have been through the accreditation sessions and ‘have the ticket’. There are Sunday slots for group bookings, so thinking we could get a slot maybe in March ? – this would probably need 15 people to commit.
I am happy to arrange and will speak to the Velo folk this week about what’s on offer/prices etc. The drop in sessions and accreditations are around £10 for an hour, which includes bike, helmet (road style only allowed) and shoes (Look Keo), so I’d reckon we would be looking at around a tenner a head.
Post up if interested, and I’ll update on possible dates that suit the majority and are available.
anyone fancy Cathkin this evening ?
…as an alternative to soggy Mugdock ? I can be there for riding around 715 if there is any interest, but not going on my own !
Saturday morning ride
Is anyone up for biking on Saturday morning at Cathkin Braes. Meet at 9.30 at the car park. Leave a comment if you’ll be there.

FS. New Vredstien Road Tyres
Got a pair of new Vredstien fiammante duo comp 23c folding road tyres, came off my new track bike (thanks Alpine!). But as these are actually winter/training road tyres and not ‘track legal’ I have taken them off and selling cheap to fund some proper track tyres. Colour is black with white duo compound, look ace – they get great reviews and ideal for all year round riding, tough enough for scottish roads 🙂

Wiggle got reduced to £18 each, call it £20 the pair and they’re yours. Can be collected from Crookston or can maybe drop off depending on location.

Volunteers wanted for Hoy Velodrome – have fun, watch fast cyclists, feel smug.
Ex member David Hicks is looking for volunteers to help out at the Revolution Track Series at the Hoy velodrome next Sat.
It’s a sold out event so volunteering is the only way to see top teams and riders like Rapha Connor Sharp and Sky Pro Cycling. All volunteers will get a great view of the racing.
David needs responses by 5pm today! Email him: david(underscore)hicks(at)btinternet(dot)com
