Racing the Boards at the World Masters Track Championships

Earlier in October a number of Scottish masters track cyclists headed south to Manchester to compete in the UCI World Masters Track Championships.

New Year’s Day Mast Ride 2023

For the first time in several years, New Year’s Day didn’t present us with gale force winds or ice covered roads to navigate. Instead, we were faced with typical summer weather – a cloudy day with cold, wet roads and the ever present threat of rain !!! Nevertheless, a healthy number of Burners turned up…

Burners Summer Series 2022

After the week of rain, Jude thought an article on the Summer Series was long overdue. Must be dreaming of sunshine……. This year’s Summer Series involved a monthly short TT series along the coast road – from just above Fisherton back to the Co-op at Doonfoot. We had great weather this year – and always…
