MEEDIES Bike Club recently hosted a round of the Scottish Cross Country Mountain Bike Race Series at Lochore Meadows Country Park.

The event drew a large field of competitors from all over Scotland and throughout the UK who challenged themselves on a tough course in testing conditions. Local success on the day included Jamie MacKenzie, from Meedies Bike Club, who finished third in the under-12s race, Craig Webster from Muckyriderz took third in the masters category while Conner Johnstone, of Team Leslie Bike Shop/Right Move Windows, won the youth race and leads the series overall.

The elite mens race was won by Rab Wardell, one of the country’s top riders who hails from Dunfermline.

The event was a huge boost for cycling in Fife and adds to the already successful Kingdom Crit Junior Race Series and BigTree Campervan Race Series.
