Saturday 14 June brought a true Southern Uplands test at the Mennock Pass Stage Race — rain-lashed roads, constant attacks, and a two-up break settled in a sprint won by Henry Hunter (Kendal Cycle Club). Earlier, Logan Maclean claimed the morning prologue to take the first leader’s jersey. But after two stages, it’s Charlie Genner (Telco’m – On Clima – Osés) who leads overall thanks to his consistency across both efforts.
This weekend (14-15 June), the inaugural Mennock Pass Stage Race promises two days of uncompromising theatre in the Southern Uplands, where the sheep stare, the wind sneers and the roads never stop climbing.

Eighty-one miles of East Lothian tarmac will host Saturday’s inaugural Andrew Matheson Memorial Trophy Road Race (24 May), a National B tribute to Musselburgh legend and 1990 Commonwealth Games rider Andy “Matho” Matheson. Six laps, a handcrafted trophy and Round 2 status in the Alba Road Series ensure the winner’s name will be etched into Scottish cycling folklore from day one.
