Albannach Bikes
The Skinnymalinky of Euan Lindsay
Strictly speaking this isn’t an Albannach, in fact I’ve had no say at all on anything to do with the design of this machine but really, it’s too glorious not to feature it. It’s also a great excuse to break into an abandoned Glasgow dry dock and practise my point and shoot. My pal Euan […]
SCX2 – The Veganbus is coming
SCX2 this year returned to the 2015 Scottish Championships venue at Knockburn Loch, a race I was really excited about coming back to since my debut there in 2014 (and after missing last years event). By all accounts the 2015 champs course was a big improvement on the 2014 edition; an edition which I rated as one […]
Double dCROIS
Earlier this year one of my best pals, Eoghan Maguire and I decided it was time for an ‘cross bike upgrade. Magsy had been stomping along to decent results on his Ridley X-Bow for the past few seasons all the while admiring the comparatively lightweight machine I’d been chasing him on (and even on the rare occasion beating him […]
Kickin’ Up Dust
For every Christmas Day, there is a Boxing Day, and every year it has a difficult job. Following the best day of the year can be a tough ask. In this analogy, Kick in the Knock at the Knockhill Racing Circuit was playing Boxing Day to the Christmas that was Callander Park. Callander had been […]
SCX1 – Capo Cross at Cally Park
I got into ‘cross in 2013, it strangely looked like a lot of fun! The scene is so welcoming and despite the hard fought and competitive racing, all involved are very supportive, which is testament to how popular it’s becoming. I love the trash talk and the colourful characters that make me wish there were more […]
SCX1 – King Caff at Cally Park
OK, here we go, my first ‘cross report. Van packed and on my way to Fawkirk. Managed to wangle my way into the car park directly in front of the big hoose; ideal for wee Annie spectating. Practice lap done, race kit laid out, now time for the pre-race tin of cold rice pudding, followed up by a […]
B-boyz battle at balloch castle
With one race under my belt from BPGP I was still nervous when arriving at Balloch Castle Country Park; working out what I was meant to be doing before the start of the race. With the obligatory “nice bike” from a few guys that I’ve come to expect from my Albannach dCROIS and even one […]
Aff the back in Alford
I was gutted to not make it up to the Scottish Championships at Knockburn last year. Based on my experience of the DTCC race in the ‘shire the year before, the champs were sure (and were confirmed) to be a good thing. When the 2015/16 fixtures came out I was stoked to see Mr Watt and Co. were going to put on a new […]
