Cyclocross race results

The last two weeks have seen some outstanding performances from Drumlanrig riders in cyclocross races up and down the country. First of all, Jamie Willoughby became the Scottish U12 Cyclocross Champion at Glenrothes. Ariana won the race for the U10 girls. This weekend saw Cameron Scott take a convincing win in the third round of the South of Scotland Youth Cyclocross League at Heathhall. This second win secured his overall victory in U12 series. Meanwhile, Jack Taylor made the trip to Mull for the final two rounds of the Scottish Cyclocross and continued with his run of excellent results in his first season as a Junior to seal his victory in the overall Scottish series. Well done to everyone - the picture below shows Jamie on the podium in Glenrothes lofting his trophy.

Drumlanrig Root Rats Coaching 10th December

This Thursday night is the last of our floodlit coaching sessions before the Christmas holidays. The session will start at 19:00 and last until 20:30 and as ever will be supported by Richard Lord from Scottish Cycling. This will be the highlight of our series of floodlit sessions on cyclocross and we are aiming to cover the full micro cyclocross circuit including the bank and the descent. Please note that this session is open to both the Sprogs and Yoofs age groups.

Don't forget that this Saturday is the Stepping Stanes round of the South of Scotland Youth Cyclocross Series. Full details of this race can be found at the Stepping Stanes web-site at http://www.steppingstanes.co.uk/. Even more reason to come along and Thursday and brush up on your skills.

The Scottish cyclocross championships were held last Sunday at Glenrothes and the club were represented by the Willoughbies and Taylors. A full report will be posted on the blog (www.rootrats.blogspot.com) with some photos, but the big news is that Jamie and Ariana both won their age group races making them the Scottish Champions.
