Scotland?s Braveheart cycling Fund end of season ride out and dinner was a raging success. Four hundred riders braved (ha!) properly grim Scottish weather then recovered to enjoy refreshments into the wee hours of Sunday morning.
In between bouts of enthusiastic re-hydration, the 390-strong dinner crowd made generous bids on 40 items in the auction, superbly cajoled by ex-Scottish team manager Allan Hewitt. Before the final tally was, er, tallied, the organisers reckoned over £40,000 had been raised to support Scottish riding talent in the course of the weekend. So much for the myth of tight-fisted Jocks.
