Scotty Laughland : British University Mountain bike champs (BUCs)

http://scottlaughland.blogspot.com/2012/03/british-university-mountain-bike-champs.html

Wednesday, 28 March 2012. British University Mountain bike champs (BUCs). Rheola – 24. No9 did well at the weekend for me. A little power nap and I decided to head up for qualifying, I took it steady and treated it as a practise run; surprisingly I went into 4. Not too far off a podium position. You WATT you WATT. Finally a podium at BUCs. Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Awesome Inc. template. Powered by Blogger.

Scotty Laughland : Enduro World Series - Round 3 - Les Deux Alpes

http://scottlaughland.blogspot.com/2013/07/enduro-world-series-round-2-les-deux.html

Wednesday, 10 July 2013. Enduro World Series - Round 3 - Les Deux Alpes. Stage 1 challenged me in every aspect, it was technical and very physical. The stage had a good sized climb in the midpoint, which was well talked about, and proved to be a vital section to be won or lost on. I put in a good effort and by the top I was feeling it, making the bottom section of descent hard to commit fully. I finished 71. And felt this could be my worst stage of the weekend. And a tad disappointed. In class which shou...

Scotty Laughland : Enduro World Series - Round 2 - Val d'Allos

http://scottlaughland.blogspot.com/2013/07/enduro-world-series-round-2-val-dallos.html

Wednesday, 3 July 2013. Enduro World Series - Round 2 - Val d'Allos. I headed up to stage 2 and had a practice run, the track was also good, fast and flowy with a good climb in the middle. Again a similar problem occurred but this time a rider was unwilling to let me pass. I eventually passed and put in a solid lower section finishing 115. Position. After a long day and feeling that my results didn’t justify my riding I finished 100. Stage 4 was my best stage with a result of 61. The event was great fun ...

The first day of riding was on Saturday James and I met up with our good friends Cat and Trev from Summit Down, they have been living and guiding in Finale for the majority of the summer and showed us some of the best trails I had ridden all year, I had a great few days with them! The Summit Down crew. Bottom of stage 3. Place, my best yet stage result. At the end of the day I finished in 38. Top of stage 5. Freshly gradua...

Scotty Laughland : The Megavalanche – Alp d’Huez

http://scottlaughland.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-megavalanche-alp-dhuez.html

Wednesday, 17 July 2013. The Megavalanche – Alp d’Huez. Bottom of 21 bends with the Stereo! Qualifying came around and I felt good - the bike was dialled and I was ready. I was on the front row with last pick being number 25. I managed to get a good start around the top 8 and by the time I reached the snow I was in with the top 4. I was feeling good! Place and had a time that would have put me 27. Overall, giving me a good gate pick for the Sunday. The start of the mega, an epic view for an epic race!

Scotty Laughland : Ischgl European Open

http://scottlaughland.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-european-open-trial-run-for-2014.html

Tuesday, 17 September 2013. The prologue started in the centre of Ischgl and with riders starting and finishing at the same point, meant some uphill. The Trail Solutions crew did a great job of creating a prologue stage, building jumps, berms and a massive wall ride. Many locals came to spectate and this created a great atmosphere with main sponsor Cannondale handing out noise batons! Almost 4 seconds off the lead time. I had a disappointing prologue finishing in 34. Prologue through the town! The event ...

http://scottlaughland.blogspot.com/2012/02/alpine-bikes-daynight-enduro.html

Tuesday, 21 February 2012. Alpine Bikes Day/Night Enduro - Innerleithen - 2nd place. For as long as I’ve ridden there’s been winter series at Innerleithen, I raced my first there back in 2004 on a Diamondback hard tail and that’s where it all began. Now 8 years on and it’s no different, I’m at Innerleithen again but on the most versatile bike on the market; Santa Cruz’s Blur LTc frameset equipped with kashima Fox suspension. I finished the event 2. Tuesday, February 21, 2012. Awesome Inc. template&#4...
