Nutcracker Round 1 Gandale

Mike Thompson was absent for this one with a training camp with the Olympic Development Programme in Newport this week.  However Mike had raced the week before at Kirroughtree where he took 2nd place in the Scottish XC Round.

For the first Nutcracker in our home county we had almost a full team with riders Scott Woolley, Nick Wilson, Bob Hewitt and Sam Roper.   The course was wet and in places on the fire road some strong head winds.   Some sound provisional results Nick Wilson 8th Vet.....Sam Roper 6th Junior and Scott Woolley along with some new gravel rash from a crash on one corner came 6th.

Below is a picture of Scott's arse rash!!!     

However the star of the day has to be Bob Hewitt who came second place in the experts.  well done Bob!
