Time Trials

Loch Eil 10 Time Trial 25/05/21

12 riders took part in the second of this years summer time trials series at Loch Eil. 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.

Kid’s Club Christmas Session

Saturday the 12th of December saw the final session of this Winter’s block of Kids club sessions. 52 youngsters took part in these sessions and seemed to have a real blast. As this was the last session before Xmas there was a fair amount of tinsel decorating bikes but unfortunately Santa wasn’t able to make his traditional appearance due to a need to quarantine before Xmas day. Help was however at hand in the unusual shape of a gorilla in the forest who provided presents for at least a couple of groups. A big thanks must go to all the volunteer helpers who enabled these sessions to go ahead. Roll on Spring!

Gorilla in the woods!
