    TT Series Update
    'Some news from Graham Foster, the club TT co-ordinator. The club TT series starts next week, on Thursday 7th May. The club Forum (http://westlothianclarion.yuku.com/forums/66) will be the main source of information throughout the series so keep up with it regularly. The way it will work will be that a separate thread will be set up for each week of the series, so if you look at Week 1 and Week 2 which are already up, you'll see an announcement of the TT and a call for volunteers - in time you'll see results and the resulting league positions coming through week by week.

    In the meantime, get out and train, read the guidance here http://westlothianclarion.co.uk/westlothianclarc.html especially the risk assessment and look forward to seeing you there.'

    New Tuesday Chaingang Start time is 7pm

    West Lothian Clarion Open Hill Climb

    West Lothian Clarion, a new club north of the border, are promoting their first event on October 11th. Its a short hill climb up the notorious Kingscavil Hill near Linlithgow

    Entries close on 3rd October, we're not exactly inundated with entries at the moment so come on give it a go! We've got a bag piper at the top of the hill and of course all the usual home baking at the Event HQ.

    If you don't fancy the race why not come and watch?

    In the coming week we are also hoping to announce some exciting news about the event.

    Everything you need to know here:

    Please have a look at the start sheet and check your event start time. It will take 10 minutes to cycle to the event start from the race HQ at Philpstoun Community Hall so allow time to sign on, available from 7.30am onwards, There will be a route map posted showing directions to and from the event location at the HQ and also West Lothian Clarion members available to assist you with any questions/requests that you may have.

    Hopefully everyone will have a great day and please remember to bring along your race licence and if not you will have to purchase an SCU day licence for £10 which is the normal fee for this type of event. We will have all the appropriate paperwork for you on the day for signing if you have not already completed an entry form for the event.

    As this is our first ever open event please pass on as much feed back as possible to all the officials so that we can learn from the vast experience of the field of riders participating in our first of many open events.

    Look forward to meeting you all on the day and have a brilliant ride as I am sure you will enjoy the sound of the piper as you pass the finishing line.

    Many thanks to everybody who took part, cheered/whistled/horned (there were alot of you!) volunteered and organised the event. Bill Young put in a great deal of work to get this off the ground, and Tobias Bauer worked behind the scenes to get a road closure. Many thanks to Visit West Lothian for picking up the bill and to West Lothian Council for agreeing to the closure and all the residents at the top and bottom who put up with the inconvenience.

    Congratulations to David Martin First overall in a lung busting time of 2.16; First woman Michelle Gregory, in her first ever race crossing the line in 3.59 and first junior Nick Hunter from Falkirk BC who went all out to get a time of 3.26
