DUNCAN McGREGOR
SUPER SIX RD 2 – Gerald Grant got 2nd place in the B race so well done
Gerald! The other guy’s were well placed within the bunch and it is very
encouraging to see the new guy’s getting involved in the racing! As for
the A race Neil Cameron was best placed at 24th which
considering a break of 11 riders got away which included 6 Endura riders was well done! It was a tough course
especially the finishing circuit! For results click here.

TOUR OF THE BORDER – As you probably have already heard this race was cancelled due to a
bad crash that left a fellow rider in hospital. His name is Damien Smith
and he rides for Herbal Life so we wish him a speedy recovery. James McPake

what could have been so well done James!

SUNDAY CLUB RUNS – As of Sunday 10th Jan there will be two separate runs.
These will be suitable for riders who are aiming to raise their fitness

proper club run i.e. no rider is dropped from the group unless during the
gallop in the last 5 miles or so.

RESULTS – The 2010 results sheet is up as you can see it is blank so let’s do

us who rode events there a good few!
