SIPR aka The Boat Race

Can it be true – Bonny & Gor, of the man variety, ripped up some of the inner Hebrides, and then done some serious damage in the Clyde, to finish ‘King of the Bens’?  Seriously well done guys, the Isle of Jura whisky will be going down a treat tonight. Reports from the Desperadoes later,

CORBETT or not to Bet.

Well for the punters that turned up, this was always going to be a dead cert, heads on favourite, no wager necessary – when Gorman is all scrubbed, fed, & watered, he’s a happy horse indeed! In the bowels of Lecture theatre BG11, the mighty WCCC & friends enjoyed and remembered the highs, lows, and

NG5K

NG5K Well before we get the Cap’n Christopher blow by blow account on the Pall Mall, I thought I’d ‘sprint’ in with something more Local – yes, about 35 thousand may have been pounding the National Capital, but almost three thou’ of bodies were doing another wee small race. Ok, you’ll get the 5K part

Lock 27 TT

With Nige currently enjoying the volcanoes of Iceland, yours truly was dusted off to hold the trigger finger for our little three mile club handicap blast. Being mid-holiday season and the Glasgow Fair, etc, numbers were down for the summer Lock 27 time trial, but it was summer indeed, as the four that did turn

In the Dark Handicap 2007

Cool, crisp and near perfect running conditions meant several pb’s for a few folk, but apparently the slope to and from the

Ironman Scotland

Aberfeldy Well last year’s excuse for not doing the BEN was that I applied too late and got a K.B.—– Phew ! An early season perusal of this year’s race calendar meant I was equally lucky, so while my fellow Westies were toeing the line in Claggan Park, I and my support group (i.e. Mum),

Hence with the intervening six months from said event, and minus several million cerebral cells courtesy of the Westies Social Calendar, there may

FRA Relays – Alva

After a hectic few weeks with injuries, colds, last minute call-offs, and much jiggery-pokery regarding the teams, it was a relief to finally make it to Alva for the big day. And what a great day it turned out to be. Starting off a bit overcast, it brightened by lunchtime and just kept getting better,

In The Dark Handicap

Another lovely sunny afternoon didn’t bode well for our annual classic of ‘In the Dark’ handicap race but some deity up above saw fit to start drawing the grey clouds closer to the Campsies and sure enough, by 6pm it was pissing down over the north of Glasgow. This ensured that we had a record
