Wallace Monument Easter Hillclimb

Organiser, Tom Beattie, pulled off a cracking event on Easter Saturday.

It had everything: a closed road to race on; cracking prizes; a full field including Scotland's best hill climbers and youth riders; tasty snacks in the cafe; a large crowd to cheer the riders and a loaf of Soreen for every competitor!

The one thing that didn't turn up was the sun, so the anticipated view from the top wasn't as glorious as it could have been.

Many thanks to Tom who did a superb job arriving at the start after working a night shift. West Lothian Clarion would also like to thank all the competitors and volunteers who helped make the race a special event.
