PCC Dirt Crit -Round 6

The final trip to Glentress on a Thursday night for a while.
A record field of 20 riders took part in the under 8's section.  The organisers positioned the top 5 riders at the front on the start line, so they could have a clean run to the first corner.

Fin was around 10th after the first lap, but by the time he came back round again, he was 3 or 4 from the back.

Still grinning, he 's looking for another event.

Hairy Coo MTB Race - Saturday 8th October

I hope to enter the Hairy Coo Race as it was a good event last year.

Hopefully Fin will be taking part in the Bairns Race too, and we can make a weekend of it.

A nice friendly event to round off the season.

PCC Dirt Crit - Round 4

After a 5 week summer break, we once again made the mad dash up the A72 to Glentress for round 4 of the Peebles Cycling Club Dirt Crit Series.

Fin was really looking forward to it, and had been talking about little else.


Unfortunately, there was a big crash at the end of the start/finish straight on the first lap.  Although it happened in front of him, another rider crashed into him from behind as he was taking avoiding action.


This put him 3rd from last, and by the time he came back round to start his final lap, he was 2nd last.


Nevertheless, he battled on, and finished 13, and happy.
