Decembers Training.
I started December with a recovery week which seemed to last a life time. The weather was as you'd expect so that made things a little easier to handle. The weather for the rest of the month was not to bad all things considered. Very cold at times but this can be quite nice. Myself & Ben Thompson managed to ride the Glenuig loop during the month, virtually unheard of at this time of year. (this is the Chris Sidwells report on the same ride we did during the summer)

Having made it through Christmas & now New Year, all be it over fed and over weight, I'm looking forward to January and a 2008 to see what it brings.
All the best to everyone for the coming season.
I wish to express my sincere condolences to the MacIntyre family and friends for this tragic loss.

Condolences to Jason's family, friends and the cycling fraternity in Scotland. He was a brilliant, dedicated cyclist and, as such, is a great loss to sport.

Very sad news and a terrible loss to cycling. Our thoughts go out to his young family. Living on the A82 and cyclists ourselves, we are only too aware of the dangers of this terrible road. When will something be done to safeguard vulnerable cyclists?

RIP Jason

Such a terrible loss. The name "Jason Macintyre" was the name most riders feared to see on any start sheet of any road race due to his great talent let alone read in the news for such a tragic death. My condolences to all his family and friends.

I have rarely met a person with such dedication and focus who still manages to be a loving, family man and very modest. Jason will be a sad loss to his family and British Cycling. I feel privileged to have known him. Sincere condolences to Caroline and the family.
