Getting together and hopeful news

 Yesterday we had our cycling club AGM then two hour's track time at Glasgow.

Being a national race team as opposed to a local one means that we don't all get together often enough..and three members were away in Lanzarote for some warmer weather riding!

In previous years we have had the AGM in Pitlochry and combined it with a couple of group rides...but with basically only two routes available from there, both being hilly plus often it has been too wet or too icy...so an indoor warm ride was preferable!

Some had to drive three or four hours to get there, and they stayed over in Glasgow for a couple of nights and booked on other track sessions to make it worth it.









It was like herding cats to get that photo! Pirate enjoyed himself greatly, even just riding around the bottom of the track and the apron (the flat bit inside the Côte d'azure )

I tried to put a video on here that I had taken...it didn't want to cooperate!


The hopeful news is that the MRI has been cancelled..they obviously saw enough to start the ball rolling for a colostomy and stoma before the end of February.. let's just hope he passes the pre-op tests on the 5th....

Just look at all those cats! I was talking earlier today how we make globes of people with like-interests, which kind of are like a family in the social interactions from maybe our parents era. I've created several globes and was thrilled to know a friend who has the original familial globe still.
