Downhilling Scotland.

A lot has been going on these past two weeks. The first weekend of September saw the No Fuss Endurance Downhill race held at Fort William. Basically a mad race to see who could do the most runs of the Fort in 6 hours. Known as being one of, if not the toughest and most punishing track (on both rider and bike) in the UK, riders had to pace themselves for a long day on the hill and also have to hand any spares they might need. At the end of the day six riders managed a mamoth 18 runs! So the winner was the man to do them in the least amount of time, that man being Fergus lamb who managed to do back to back, sub-6 minute runs.
Expect to see a full write up in the next issue of the mag, and for those that can't wait here's the video Stu from MtbCut.tv put together...

Moving on one week and we find ourselves back at Innerleithen for the final round of the SDA series. The track was perhaps a little less technically demanding than others we've seen this season, but made up for it by being a very fast pedally track that was over 4 minutes long for the majority of us. With only three elites not making there way out to the World Cup it was guaranteed podiums all round. Fergus Lamb, obviously well recovered from Fort Bill, put in a blisteringly quick first run with a time of 3:35. That was more than enough to make him the fastest man of the day as well as giving him the overall series win.
Again cheek out the next issue for the full report and series results.

This weekend Inners is playing host to the final round of the NPS, with Pete Scullion hopefully bringing you the news as it happens so stay tuned...
