Hugh Wilson memorial 10K, East Kilbride

Just when you think everyone in the club is having time off from a busy season- Mr Barrie sneaks in a 10K on Saturday and what is perhaps mroe impressive he combines it with Christmans shopping! - 47:06 - not a bad time either...well done Richard 

We now have a new champion - Eamonn -after cycling down with Andy & Kevin from Lochgilphead into a head wind and meeting up with, Brian, Peter and Matt at the bottom....he was clearly feeling a bit grumpy as he then destroyed the field charging to the summit in an awesome time of 27:46!

Whizzer & John took up the running challenge offering words of encouragement to the cyclists as we glided by..it was helpful wasn't it lads!

Thanks to Rosemary and Brenda for braving the atrocious conditions and recording the time at the top and to Hazel M, Kirsty, Hazel W and Simone for cheering all the racers on as they walked to the top and the bottom.

Results on the forum and photos now in the MTB gallery.

Andy was crowned king of the mountains in 2008 - who will triumph this year 10.30am start from the bottom on Sunday  - open to bikers, runners and ..... Mad Dog who it is alleged has some Heath Robinson type of contraption to get to the top

Are you up for the challenge?
