WEC Round 7 Italy - Euan Mcconnel continues to impress with a great privateer ride. Full report here

Lost and found - I still have some cans from Griffin - 2 green jerry cans and numerous plastic 5litre cans. If you drop me a note I will bring to Lumsden. And one blue ARCO jacket.

And Nick Robinson lost his silencer in the woods at Selkirk - any one see it or pick it up - drop me a note

And in case you are sick of mud - a wee note from Dave Donald out in the desert as he prepares for the UAE Desert Challenge - GO DAVE !! Click here

And the final round of the year will be the Bon Accord at Lumsden . Click here for regs. A great event last year with an "Extreme " test (plus chicken run).  This will also be the Inter Club Team Event. So make sure your club has a full team and send me your teams as soon as possible so I can sort out team clashes.

Noise testing. The official Noise Tester apologises he was not able to make Selkirk . But the good news is that Bon Accord will take delivery of a new noise meter in time for Lumsden. All clubs now have noise meters - so if in doubt ask your club to test your bike before you go racing. Loud bikes will lose us forests and tracks - so keep it quiet ..

Dawn to Dusk 2008 - 23/24 August . As usual the Celtic pot hunters had a good haul. Scots Rule at D2D. Click here for the full report.Well done to Richard Hay - Ironman winner - Derek Little and Fazer Norrie won the Pro 2 man team - Calum Hayes 3rd Clubman overall and Drew and James Harvey   2nd 2 man Expert team. And not forgetting David Fergus with an excellent 2nd in the Veteran (Over 40) Ironman - respect !! Congratulations to you and to all the other riders who made the long trip down and the even longer days riding. A very tough event - but well worth the trip.   http://www.dawntodusk.co.uk/

Moffat MC - Updated results for Hare and Hound -  there were a few missed laps and dnf's - should be sorted now. - click here. Expert won by Derek Little. A great new course - 8 miles in length which proved fairly "testing" with the odd wee bog to keep speeds down. Unfortunately there were a few injuries on some of the hidden rocks. We wish a speedy recovery to those who had the falls - including Neil Chatham - doing well in the Expert class in his first year - but likely to miss the last rounds. Pics click here

Well done to the Moffat Club on their first event - a great venue - hopefully we will get asked back in the future

Each club can provide 8 riders - 2 in each class with the best 6 finishers to count. Let me know your riders asap as clubs are already claiming their top riders already.

Sore - stiff - all busted up. Yup sounds like another good weekend of sport. Stuart McDonald has just been to a local Physio and recommends them - http://www.midlothianphysiotherapy.co.uk/ .Not expensive and may help get you back on a bike sooner

And a reminder to all riders. You must stop at the start of each Special Test to allow the timekeepers to record your number and to set the timing gear. If you don't stop you could miss having a lap recorded. And ensure you follow the marked route. If you miss a corner you must go back and rejoin the course at the point you left it. Any riders found by the Clerk of the Course off the marked route risk disqualifiaction.
