Scottish 25TT Championship. (Eglington Country Park)

Defending Champion & having just won the RTTC National 25TT title, rolling up behind Mark Atkinson (my 2 minute man) on the start line felt good.
I started strongly in an attempt to ride under the "50 minute" barrier. I was feeling good and on course going into the second half of the race. With just under 8 miles or so to go i punctured and had to ride for 3 miles on a soft/flat rear wheel before getting back onto the A78 and luckily my Formula 1 pitt team were on hand with a spare wheel for me to put in for the final stretch. The race was now on for the win with Mark Atkinson well ahead on the road i was not sure of the gap.
I finished with a 51:58, good enough for the Gold. Mark Atkinson was a well deserved 2nd in 53:05 and with the ride of the day Jim Cusick in a 54:04 for 3rd. The Edge RT/Dooley's cycles took the team prize, well done to Gary & Sean.
