Hebridean Odyssey – A Burners’ Adventure

Husband and wife JP and Joanne Baxter first met on a cycle tour of Scotland, so what better way to celebrate a birthday than loading up the bikes and enjoying the Scottish scenery. Of course, things were probably simpler before they were married and JP was still trying to impress. We understand that the tour was…

When Harry met Rod… Dragon Flashbacks

Earlier in June Rod Henderson traveled down to South Wales for the three day ‘Wiggle Dragon Tour‘ . Our youth correspondent Harry set out to interview Rod following the ride. And, well, you know… the dog ate some homework and then the summer holidays began. But despite all these distractions, Harry did catch up with…

The River Ayr Way – Picture Special

The River Ayr Way is Scotland’s first Source to Sea long distance path, running from Glenbuck to Ayr Harbour. 65km long, it is mostly downhill. However, as our intrepid adventurers will protest, that is rather misleading and only tells half the story. Having sorted out the transport logistics and organised car shares, ten Burner’s gathered…

Troon Treasure Hunt – Damp but Awesome!

As the station clock ticked towards 7pm there was a small but committed group assembled for the Troon Treasure Hunt. However, for those present it meant the chance to pick up big series points. Ignoring the fine and solid drizzle (warm rain – Scottish Summer at its finest!), the riders took hold of their maps…

Meet a Burner: Harry McGarvie

We’ve been wanting to run some rider profiles for a while, but who better to start with than young star Harry McGarvie? Following his big weekend at Millport we caught up with the ‘Hurricane’ Name: Harry McGarvie Age: 13 How long have you been cycling Harry? About two and half years – my Dad (Lindsay)…

Well done Harry!

All the Burners are delighted for 13year old Harry McGarvie who won the youth hill climb event on the Isle of Cumbrae yesterday. Racing is not one of our key focuses, but it is something Harry really enjoys and we’re glad to support our racing members where we can. Not only did Harry win the…

The longest day: big mile munchers

It creeped up without any warning from the weather gods, but the Summer Solstice has been. With it came some cyclists taking on biiig mileage days in the saddle. Christopher JG has a look back. 300km I was watching Alex Hamilton’s quest to complete the Chase The Sun event from the Isle-of-Sheppey to Burnham on Sea…
