A bumper field of 24 riders took the start at this evening's Lockerbie 10. It's a very popular course and conditions were good this evening, if a little windy from the west. We saw some excellent performances throughout the field. Grateful thanks to Andrew Parker, Richard Colbeck, Gavin Church and Allan Hewitt for their help in putting on the event.

23 Riders braved some pretty miserable conditions on Wedneday evening. Fastest on the course was Gary Jamieson with a time of 23:56. For full results go to DG League Round 3. Many thanks to Micky Warbeck & Fechan Flyers for organising.
Great effort from all those who came along to ride or help at our Merckx time trial this evening! Some lovely old bikes mixed with some swanky newer ones. Everyone got a Belgian-themed prize, the most spectacular of which went to Gavin 'The Cannibal' Church for setting the fastest time. I'm not sure who got the bottle of mayonnaise...
Thanks to Shaun Wylie, David Holland and Stephen Spellacy for helping out.

It's June. The shivering riders and wooly-hatted timekeepers would fool you into thinking it's March, but no, it's June! A gusty north-easterly wind was a feature of this evening's 17.5 mile Park Farm hilly TT. It was overcast but dry!
Despite the tricky conditions we had some fast times. Gavin Church led the way again with a superb 43:31 on his first time on the course. Craig Gibson and a resurgent Stephen Spellacy battled for the remaining podium positions, with Gibson bettering Spellacy's time by just 8 seconds. Meanwhile, McNeil and Frances Butler continued their season-long battle, with McNeil stopping the clock 13 seconds before Butler.
It's always brilliant to welcome new riders to our events. On this occasion Ian Gilbert of Hebridean CC (turning a fixed gear along with Neil Pearson tonight) and Mike McKay joined us for the first time. The hilly course seems to have really suited McKay in particular!
Massive thanks from all the riders must go to officials Gordon McNeil, Esther Hamill, Stuart Garner and Shaun Wylie for their help tonight.
Club handicap tables will be updated shortly. Here are the times from tonight (DCC unless stated):
Callum Leuscher 48:37

17 riders arrived ready to join battle on the testing Beattock 25 course last night. The warm, sunny evening with only light winds allowed for some good times on a course that, in its present somewhat worn condition, is not a particularly 'fast' one.
Gary Jamieson of Fechan Flyers and Gavin Church of Dumfries CC battled it out at the top of the timesheet, with Gary just nicking the win by 3 seconds in an impressive time of 59:02. Frances Butler of Dumfries CC was fastest female.
Well done to all those who took part.
Round 5 is on 24 July, hosted by Fechan Flyers.
