He was run over by a car in April of this year, and his left foot was badly damaged. There were times shortly after the accident, i thought he'd never ride a bike again, He has almost fully recovered. I don't know who was the most excited about the event, him or me.
Making the registration time of 6pm was always going to be tight. By the time I finished work, got home and picked up Fin and drove to Glentress, it was 5.55!
After registration, and I got his number cable-tied to his bike, and headed for a bike check.
It was a long walk to the start line, and we just made it in time.
The under 8's section must have had 20 boys and girls entered, Fin was by far the smallest.
The organiser made the kids feel at ease on the start line. The route was to be 2 laps of Blue Velvet.
To cut a long story short, Fin struggled badly, and finished several minutes after everyone else, but did get the loudest cheer of the night as he crossed the line.
