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

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.
