Like most people I was sorry to read that Sir Chris Hoy has decided to retire at the age of 38... Several reasons have been given but it has been suggested that he does not want to be used as a publicity puppet for wee Herr Fuhrer Salmond and the Scots Nazis in the run-up to next years Referendum Vote. It seems the wee Fuhrer did not take too kindly to Sir Chris constantly waving the Union Flag in preference to the Saltire when he was smashing all the world records and collecting gold medals for fun at the Olympics. Never fear folks guess who is joining the Glesga Club fitness classes at the Velodrome next week...yours truly. And once the stamina levels are re-introduced I am getting on my bike and peddling like a mad man around that velodrome track. Sir Charles De Bulloch McDonald of Barrowfield and Camlachie, the Flying Scotsman has a nice wee ring to it don't you think folks. ;D

Aye good luck wi the fitness Charlie but I seem to remember in Westhorne Park there was an athletics oval field and the grit running track was used by cyclists but the unusual thing I remember was that the bikes they used had wooden "tyres". Anyone remember that?
I also seem to remember the shows coming to the park once a year and to the sperr grun next to the Black Cat in the 1950s.
