I used to live near Inverness, Invermoriston home of the infamous Timber Jack Track, back in the day when we carried bikes. Still have a race report from that race in an old copy of MBUK.

Used to race the west highland wheelers serise as a youth and then the SCU races as a Junior though out the 90's, then realsied I was rubbish at (and bored of) short course races and much better at endurace races. Haven't raced a SCU race in years.

I used to ride for Moray Firth cc, still ride for Fyrish RT.

Used to ride a Pace towards the latter half of the 90's but now ride more morden bikes :oops:
 
spoke with colin when we did the hairy coo this year- very tough course BTW. He had his old clockwork but did not manage to race her on the day.

Im Working on a 1989 Offroad Master,
she used to belong to a Scottish rider called Andrew Wright -

I remember that bike, and Andrew was a classmate of a riding buddy back then- was Aburdeen Uni CC early 90's- see my pics thread for some shots from back then!

Vail in 94. I still wear her tee shirt though; how sad is that!

Had that T as well, can't remember where from tho'?
