GLENFINNAN 25 TIME TRIAL 13/07/21

Tuesday night saw the return of the Glenfinnan 25.

In the end Gary Macdonald finished over 2 minutes inside the hour mark – a great effort! Well done to the 11 riders who took part and posted some fast times. Next up is the Commando Memorial Time Trial on August the 3rd.

Loch eil time trial 22/06/21

11 Riders took part in the 4th time trial of the season. Fearsome midgies and a fairly strong wind were definitely the order of the night. Well done to Cammie for a great win. Well done also to Pete Berrie for a great comeback after 6 years away and a wee wobble at the beginning! Next race is the Glenfinnan 25 on July the 13th.

Hair raising event at kid’s club 19/06/21

Norman appeared at kid’s club on Saturday sporting a brand new hairstyle. Long gone were his flowing lockdown curls, having been replaced by an impressive multicoloured mohican. He even engineered a helmet that would allow it to poke through! Congratulations to Norman for raising £700 at the last count. Half of this money is going towards Pancreatic Cancer charity and half is going towards the Pump track. Rock on Norman!

Despite a reasonably strong head wind for the return leg, the weather was generally very favourable after the rain of the last few days. Having held Jamie Gall off, and winning by 17 seconds Alastair Maclennan was heard to say something along the lines of ” you never totally lose your racing mojo, you sometimes just temporararily misplace it!” ( apologies for any misquote). Well done to all those who took part and great to see some new faces. Many thanks to all the organisers. Next race is at Laggan Dam on June the 8th.
