Really enjoyed today's MOK Bike Challenge and well done to everyone who took on their own challenge whether it be the Ultimate killer or the family ride around Davaar . A huge thanks goes to the organiser's Rus & Ros , marshals , Macmillan cancer committee and the Ardshiel Hotel (for providing the fantastic lunch) for making this a great event .

Got to say pushing the bike up the Dalsmirren hill was more than a challenge in itself .......altho the downhill was worth the up !!!!

Wish I could learn to enjoy them downhills, I'm just a big fearty!!!

Also wish I had taken my camera and got the farmers herding the coo's to take a photo of me stuck in them as stan got away from me laughin his heed off!!!!

Great day - thanks to Rus n Ros for getting this event going, to all the marshalls and helpers and to the Ardshiel/Seafield for the welcome and the tasty fayre.
