John McQuade gets second
in the Scottish Crits Support race, with a very tight circuit the big man
done well to come home with second, hopefully we will see more of the
newcomers in this race next year.
Franco was in the main race and after securing 9th in
the Vets RR he finished 13th in this event, Franco really
starting to show good form. To see results click here.

in the Vets RR, initially he was in the break but when the pack caught
him he still showed good form to finish in the top ten, Franco we salute
you sir!!!

What a strong turn out for
the club confined TT! There were a
lot of new faces all taking up the challenge of trying to beat the “skinny
guy on the funny looking bike” 1 of the many conversations I overheard. Franco Porco turned up looking like he
might just do it but it was a fantastic effort but Andy Turnbull still
reigned supreme, with Franco second and Stevie Dunn 3rd. Big
thanks to Ken Armstrong and The Doc’s wife for organising and time
keeping.

Well Done Stephen Dickson

competitors (remember it’s not a race) with a time of 6:09:12, you can visit these two links to give you more info and photos!
Results, Photos. Stephen is quite recognisable with his big nashers in the uphill
3–4pm group of photos that’s a great advert for colgate.

The Club was well
represented in the Ross McDonald Memorial RR held on Sunday with 3 riders
getting in the top ten. It was a hard day with 1 main climb and then
quite a few sticky drags! Martin
Coopland was the first rider home in 5th place, with Craig
McQueen 6th and James McPake 10th. Well Done to James “fake bake” McPake,
as this was his first race back after a motorist decided to knock him off
his bike to ask how he got such a good tan!!! To see results click here.

EDINBURGH NOCTURNE – Wow, FBC were
1st and 2nd in the 4th cat race!!!!! Well
Done Craig Adams and Andy Turnbull that was a superb result. Having ridden the course in the 2nd/3rd
Cat race I can tell you that this was a truly soul breaking course, to
which I have never felt so much pain before, and I am still hurting!!!

full race report on the BCF website. We are still awaiting the full results when I have
