I would like to thank the following sponsors and contributors

The Hub in the Forest A hub of a wheel is a central feature from which all the other parts revolve and I guess that is also true for the Hub at Glentress. Although not situated in the centre of the forest more so at the bottom, it is a place where mountain biking in the area revolves and radiates! Run by Emma & Tracey (former world cup riders) there truly is a little something for everyone here. The girls offer tuition so you can tune up on those mountain biking skills and get pinned on the old descents. The bike shop offers repairs, bike hire and everything else required to keep you and your bike happy out on the trails. And after all that fun you can chill out in the cafe at the bottom with tea and cake – perfect! Check it out: http://www.thehubintheforest.co.uk

This is going to be my first season riding with the Hub and I’m really excited about it all! I hope all the lovely mechanics in the bike shop are ready to become my new best friends! The guys are going to have my bike in tip top condition for every race, anyone who races knows how important that is! Yee ha! RETURN TO TOP

Luvians Every team needs a base the Thunderbirds had Tracy Island, Batman had the bat cave and Luvians has Cupar. A family run business that opened in 1983 on Christmas Eve. Now in the 21st century the business is more successful than ever. The shop compromises of a wine department, deli and ice cream counter. Luvians focus on quality and precision, so go on, get down to the shop and experience a truly welcoming atmosphere with a selection of the best produce around. Luvians support to my mountain biking season has enabled me to extend my racing calendar from the Scottish series to the British series. I cannot thank them enough for their support. Also a nice refreshing ice-cream never goes wrong at the end of a hard training session. 93 Bonnygate, Cupar, Fife http://www.luvians.com/ RETURN TO TOP
