Tour de Trossachs 2009 Preview

- by Janette Hazlett -

I rode round the course for the Trossachs time trial the other day - ouch... now I'm feeling just a little bit guilty that I make them race round it!

There were no crowds for me on the Duke's Pass - and I was flying up it too, honest!

Defending Champion Arthur Doyle is top seed tomorrow.

It's a 10.00am start tomorrow,and it should be interesting battle, amongst the men and the women: an on-form Christine McLean, Sharon Doyle and Mari Todd are my predictions for the podium.

I’ve put the Juniors on just before some of the fast seniors and vets as I thought it might be good for them to be amongst the big boys – I’ve always felt they were a bit out of things being put off first.

It's Trossachs time again.

Dooleys look like the favourite for the team – it’s a shame Endura Racing couldn’t produce a third member, but I did try! It would have been a good "testers v roadies" battle - the course certainly has something for masters of both disciplines, and a few riders are venturing from down south which is good to see – hoping for more next year, when the race will be part of the Rudy Project series.

I have got two of the Ferrys riding – I also tried to get Andrew to enter to make up a team - next year I’m offering free entries to previous winners!

...we reckon cycling matters. We aim to provide our readers with truthful, interesting and unique articles about the sport we love.

We cover all aspects of cycling by actually being there, in the mix: from the local "10" to the famous WorldTour "monuments" - classics like Milan-SanRemo and the Tour of Lombardy, the World Championships, the winter Six Days, and of course the Grand Tours.

We attend many local races as well as work on the professional circuit - and we do it all with a Scottish accent.
