Club members continued the start of the Road/Hill season over the Easter weekend. Two main events took place at Linlinthgow and Ben Chonzie (Breadallon area 11km from Crieff)
The Fast 7 Flat 5km event supplied a number of PB performances for club members over the flat West Lothian Cyle Centre, Linlinthgow. Highest place was Taha Ghafari in 6th place overall in the elite race in an excellent time of 14.11. By all accounts the weather was not kind to the athletes as the wind and cool temperatures which have prevailed this week.
