Paul Coats (Squadra Via Mazzini Racetool) showed that he had the legs to match his cool suntan with a fine win in Sunday’s David Campbell memorial race over 80 cold and hilly miles around Fife’s Cults Hills.

Second was Phil Brown (Velo Ecosse), who was the only one to respond to Coats’ attack on the final ascent of Cadgers Brae but couldn’t match the man in Persil white when it came to the finishing straight.

March 31, 2007 • by Martin Williamson • in Race Reviews

Blue skies, sunshine, daffodils and a cool easterly wind greeted a full complement of 60 riders, divided into five groups for the 35 mile APR race. Group one was given a seven minute headstart on the small scratch group which contained the veteran >50 winner from The Lake APR last Sunday, Jocky Johnstone (East Kilbride Road Club).

Rosneath GP (0)


March 18, 2007 • by Ed Hood • in Race Reviews

Gordon Murdoch (East Kilbride RC) added the opening GP win of 2007 – in a freezing, wet and windy Rosneath event – to the 2006 season-closing Anderside GP event. Weighing a stone less than last season and with a new team providing fresh motivation, he was the most resilient rider on a day better suited to sitting by the fireside than climbing Whistlefield Brae three times.

Second was versatile Jonathan Copp (Deeside) and third Paul Coats (SVMR).
