Roller Racing


Roller Racing is almost ready! A year ago I started on a project to replicate the roller racing equipment used to do short races on rollers. The original roller racing used a geared system that connected the rollers to large dials on the display. As far as I'm aware there is nowhere you can buy this equipment and even if we could it would be expensive. So I set about building an electronic version that I hoped would be just as much fun but also give us some unique benefits. Since many of us not proficient on rollers (and have no desire to be so)   I wanted my equipment to work with rollers and standard turbo trainers. I also wanted it to be fun for all of us to race regardless of equipment and ability.

Well after a year of development the system finally spring to life at the weekend! The current implementation will allow  up to 4 riders to race over a distance of 1-99KM. The system will automatically handicap each rider so regardless of your setup and ability the races should be close. The board will also be programmed with our weekly training program. All going well the board will make an appearance this week for the training program and should be ready for racing a few weeks later.  It's been difficult to test as a one person race doesn't work well. One solution was to attach the sensor to my daughters gerbil wheel, but unfortunately the Gerbil died before I got it finished which was unfortunate. Well on the plus side it save me the ensnarement of being beaten by a gerbil!

Glasgow Couriers CC 25Mile TT/ WOSCA Novice Championships

By Colin Meikle

The weather seems to be a common theme in resent posts and this one is no different. 4 St Chris riders (Andy W, Colin G, Colin M and Derek) took part in the 25 mile TT held at Uplawmoor on Wednesday 25th May. The course started just outside of Ulawmoor and went straight down the A736 to Irvine and back so there was no chance of going off course.
 The weather had been changeable most of the day but half an hour before the start it settled down to cold, pouring rain and stiff cross wind. I attempted a quick warm up under a sheet of tarpaulin stretched between my boot lid and a fence but the pretty ineffective, the only way to warm up  was to stay in the car with the heaters on.
Once underway the route it'self was OK, the standing water and strong winds made me a little nervous particularly in the first half which was fast (pretty much down hill all the way). The strong gusting wind made it difficult to stay in any predictable position on the road, which was not great as there was a reasonable amount of traffic.  The return leg was hard with some long uphill drags, however the slower speed made it feel safer. I can imagine this would be a very good course on a quiet sunny morning and I look forward to trying it again in better conditions. This night I was just glad to get of the bike, I don't think I've ever been so wet and cold on a "summer's" evening. The conditions didn't slow everyone the fastest time was a very fast 55.19!

City of Stirling Wheelers 10 TT

by Colin Meikle

This event was held on Wednesday 11th May at Cambusbarron. The best way to describe the weather was changeable, I arrived in bright sunshine and went to sign on, when I cam out 5 minutes later it was heavy rain. By the time I got ready the rain and stopped and there was only a light breeze, 10 minutes later the rain was back with a very strong cross wind, with the deep front wheel I was struggling to say on a straight line and seriously thought of not starting but the rain stopped and the wind eased just in time. It was hard going into the wind on the outward leg and as always at Cambusbarron I could swear the return leg is much further than the outwards leg! A time of 24.36 was not bad from me on a windy night.

Weekend TTs






It was a busy weekend with a number of St Cris riders taking part in TTs over the weekend. The VC Glasgow South TT was held on the Saturday and the Inverclyde Velo/Jason Mac Intyre Memorial on the Sunday   With a long period of good weather it had to come to an end sometime and neither day was great. Saturday turned out to be dry but windy, the wind was replaced with rain for the Sunday. I guess it could of been worse with wind and rain on the same day!

Pictures from both events can be found here:

Margaret Dooley Trophy 10 mile TT

By Colin Meikle


This 10 mile TT was held on the Bishopton course on Wednesday 4th. The weather was kind to us with the wind dying off as we started. There was a bit of headwind on the way back but nothing too bad. I was the only St Chris rider and for me a pretty good night with a time 24.33. This was pretty close to my PB so hopefully I can improve on this a minute faster than my last outing so going in the right direction.
