Results - https://my.raceresult.com/346654/results
After torrential rain cancelled the last attempt it was glorious sunshine and a super track that welcomed riders to West Linton.
The Ecosse XC Club put in a lot of hard work to develop a testing track for the 100 plus riders that turned out .
There was some exciting riding with the top riders on the same lap but Andrew Bisset taking home the honours with a consistent ride.
There was the usual sand pit to trap the unwary and new for 2025 "THE HILL". This didn't look to bad but had ruts and bumps near the top which caught out a few riders.
Then it was a charge across the moors and more hills at the far end . A chance to get some speed up and a fast blast.
The Experts were led home by Andrew Bisset in 1st with Andrew McConnell 2nd and Richard Hay 3rd. Great to see these top class riders at speed.
In Over 40's Mark Anderson finished 1st . And nice to see Drew Harvey back out on a bike and competitive with 2nd ahead of Steven Anderson in 3rd
Kris Yule took the Clubman honours just ahead of Jordon Christie with another ex trials rider Michael McNiven in 3rd
Clubman B was won by Dylan Scott . John Weir 2nd and Andrew Sneddon in 3rd
The Over 50s was another very competitive class with James Harvey taking the win 1 lap ahead of Neil Dawson in 2nd and Ian Bisset in 3rd
