Very sad to learn of the sudden death of Ivor Reid, a stalwart of Scottish and Masters track racing (and Majorca regular) who inspired and assisted many as competitor, Scottish Cycling official and Coach at age 57. Condolences from all the Racers to Elaine and family.

Another New Dolan TC1 ready to roll for Tim Bartlett assault on the @MNtrackchamps at Newport Velodrome tomorrow. Big thanks to Terry Dolan for all the support over the years with The Racers

Sad to hear of Brian Annable’s death age 88.He was a significant influence during the Edinburgh Racers kids club formation. A talented administrator & organiser,able to influence others with his enthusiasm for the sport. Recognised with an OBE in 2010. Will be missed by many. RIP
