Scottish Cyclocross Series – Round 2 Preview
After a record breaking start to the 2009 Scottish Cyclocross Series at Plean near Stirling, racing resumes this Sunday 18th October, with Round 2 at Auchentoshan, Glasgow.
The course at Auchentoshan is an absolute classic and favourite of many a ‘crosser. It offers up a healthy mix of fast, flowing woodland singletrack, pavement, grass cheeky off camber sections and obligatory barriers, not forgetting a super steep (but thankfully short) run up. The course flows beautifully and with fair weather forecast for the weekend, the going will likely be firm and racing fast and furious. Davie Graham and promoting club Glasgow United have put together a sneak preview of the course (in most un-cross like conditions!) – watch it here.
Racing starts at 11am with the Youths race, followed by the Seniors/Womens/Vets/Juniors Race at 12pm and U12’s races at 1.15pm (or there about). Entry is available on the day and is a veritable bargain at £4 for Youths, £8 for the main race and free for U12’s. The Scottish Cyclocross Shop will also be in attendance, with an assortment of fine on and off the bike attire.

road.cc'snder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.
