It was Beattock for the last 25 mile race of the season on the 12th August. John Moir (returning from 2 weeks hard training in France where he just happens to have a cycle in storage) was the only rider below the hour with a time of 58:00. John Patterson is getting back to form and got second place with a time of 61:46 and third W. McCubbin at 62:36.
Other results were:
Davy Thompson 70:48, Alistair Johnson 68:48, Donald McCalley 70:01, Peter Jackson 71:42, Guy Graham 67:14, Nick Prichard 69:24, Chris Prichard 64:47, Colin McCann 65:45, Neil Henderson 66:44, and Alan Crieghton 64:38.
15 riders turned up but Alex Ure burst a spoke before the start and Jim McConnachie was collected by the meat wagon shortly after the start with a puncture.
It was noticeable that 3 of the riders who can still win the ten handicap league were missing. Were they saving themselves for the main event next week?
Next year at Beattock please don’t park on the grass as a local gent cuts it. It not exactly a golf green but he’s proud of it!
