GUCC TOUR OF SCOTLAND.

The time has come. Tonight Inverness welcomes GUCC riders Alan Quinn, Hans Forhaug, Stevie Jackson, John McCrory, Mark McGivern, Mark Daly and organisers Mark and Anna Lang. From Thursday they will tackle the spectacular route below over stunning scenic roads. There could have been more riders too, previous "tourers" Bill McMillan is away racing, Richie MacPherson is recovering from injury and James Melville is in Majorca (though the scenery won't be as good). John McCrory dug out the wee video above from his extensive private web collection to whet the guys appetite, although he did apologise for the lack of Rapha gear in it and promises the GUCC tour can do better. All we can say is, we're well jealous and can't wait to see the pictures and hear the stories on their return.

CONGRATULATIONS HANS FORHAUG
A great big well done to our Hans who recently won the Scottish Cross Triathlon Vets title. An off-road twist on the usual swimming, cycling and running with MTB and fell running instead, is there no end to the big Swede's talents.
BOBCCX is live now, entries close @ 8pm on 7th September.
Get your 2016/17 cyclocross season off to a flyer, brace yourself and get it in the big ring now!
