The result of the Tri Changing Gear CC 16ml Hilly TT. An excellent ride by Jonathan Copp to take this race, with Carlos a little unfortunate having punctured just before the start and ending up riding on someone’s borrowed “winter bike” rear wheel.

Aberdeen District CA 2006 Prize Presentation

The race was followed by the presentation of the Aberdeen District Cycling Association trophies for 2006. An excellent “bun fight” was provided by Isobel and the gang from Tri Changing Gear, who were largely responsible for the resurrection of a formal (more friendly and semi-formal really) annual presentation of awards.

It is hoped that this will set the trend for future years and may even help to stimulate fresh interest in some of the District competitions. Two significant non-competitive awards were presented.

Ron Brown Trophy: (Presented to someone who has done the most in the season to further the interest in cycling in the area).
Doug Haigh (Deeside Thistle/Bikelife) has restimulated the interest in long distance riding, and by doing so has got “more bums on saddles”. Deeside could have the largest representation of any club in this year’s Mersey “24”. There’s no truth in the rumour that Doug wants the “12” relegated to the Mid-distance BAR.

Long Service Award: Isobel Smith (GS Corsa). One shouldn’t divulge a lady’s “long service” but Isobel is well known to a few generations of bikies from all over Scotland. Timekeeping, recording, judging, organising events, making tea and buns and a number of other essential activities that help to keep sport going.

She is currently, and has been for many years, General Secretary for the Aberdeen District, and has organised the SCU annual Vets Road Race Championship since its inception.

It has been rumoured that Davy Gibson only ever came up to Aberdeen for Isobel’s bun-fight. Mind you he did break the”100″ record on one of those sorties.

John Pierce – Part Two, the Better – and Worse – Aspects of the Sport

John Pierce is one of the world's great sports photographers, he's a friend of VeloVeritas and in our site's best tradition, the man can RANT about the sport he's been a part of for 50 years. In Part One of our interview John told us about his introduction to the profession of cycling photography, his work around the globe and the background to his famous image of Guido Van Caster, Eddy Plankaert and Bernard Hinault sprinting flat out at the end of Stage 12 of the 1981 Tour De France which won 'Action Sports Picture of the Decade' nine years later. In Part Two, John looks at the changes in the sport - and in the photography equipment - through the decades, telling us why he prefers Canon over Nikon and Paris-Roubaix over all other races.

Nigel Dean – An Enjoyable Pro Career in the ’70s and ’80s

In April 1978 my pal Dave and I stopped off in the north of England to watch the English pros in action at the Lancaster Grand Prix. Sitting in rare north of England spring sunshine to watch the race we were surprised and excited when Falcon pro, Nigel Dean chose our patch of grass to call it a day and sit and happily chat away to us for an age. It’s taken us a while to catch up with him again...

Steve Penny has been bringing you the race reports, John Young the action images, so I thought we'd look at the people who make the "Berlin 6 Tage Rennen", the Berlin Six Day 2013, such a unique affair. At the start of each evening they have a 'Vorstellung der Parade der Asse' - a parade of champions.

Peter Stevenson – The Domestique of Dag-Otto Lauritzen

You can't fault Scotland's track performances-Chris Hoy, Craig MacLean, Ross Edgar and James McCallum have all done the business at Commonwealth and World level recently. What about the road though? Can anyone think of a decent ride by a Scottish roadman outside of Britain this year? I can't.
