MFCC stage race

7 north riders filled the top 10 slots in this mornings prologue, with a large field coming from all over Scotland. Well done to all. Peter E was first and in yellow for the afternoons road race. Gavin Shirley took 2nd and I was a further second down and in 3rd. Callum had a brilliant ride and finished in the top 20. WOW!!! Well done the big man. Mike Reaper rounded off for Forres finishing 58th with a good time for someone who's not done much competing this year. The afternoons road race was a HARD and HILLY affair over 50 miles. Peter E punctured on the fast descent and time trialled on his own to catch up the main group, but this proved too much for the old man and he struggled on the next hill. Bummer. Still, yellow jersey for the day was pretty good for the Forres loon. I lost touch with the main group towards end but finished at the front of the 2nd group. Callum and Mike also done well to finish on a very very hard day. A very big well done to eveyone from Forres. Here's to another hard 50 miles Sunday morning. Can't wait !!! Not.
