As expected, another busy weekend in
Fort William, as the
Mountain Bike World Cup came to town. The weather gods smiled upon us, keeping it dry and midge free for the weekend. Great to see another huge crowd at the event, and great to see the High Street busy, busy...
The atmosphere at
The Grog & Gruel was great. Live music provided by
Sandra MacBeth and the Shoogle Sisters on both Friday and Sunday nights helped. As did a dazzling array of beers, with the rarely seen
William Bros. Grozet (Gooseberry ale) selling faster than hot cakes (and the
Venison & Grozet Pie on sale in the restaurant).
The highlight of the weekend was again the men's downhill, but mention should be made of the British Trials Championship too. Whilst that pic above of the chap about to commit cycle suicide by jumping off the log is impressive, spare a thought for the juniors tackling the slightly easier course along side. Big respect!
Great weekend!
