MFCC Cromarty Stage Race Preview

Moray Firth Cycling Club is promoting their annual two day Stage Race based in the picturesque fishing village of Cromarty over the weekend of 18th & 19th July.  This popular event, now in its 6th year, is one of the few remaining Stage races on the Scottish Cycling scene and for this reason is a well-established race on the Scottish Calendar. The event is again attracting a high calibre of rider from across Scotland to take part in the 3 stage race weekend.  Teams from all of the major cities and competitors from far north as Shetland have already entered.  There is the usual strong entry from the host club along with teams from Granite City RT and Deeside Thistle CC. Moray Firth Cycling Club is grateful for the logistical support being provided by Scottish Cycling to this event. Day 1 Prologue: Racing gets underway with a flat coastal 4.1 mile prologue from Jemimaville to Cromarty.

Day 2 Stage 2 Two laps of the Cromarty – Mount Eagle circuit totalling 50miles.  Racing again begins in Cromarty with a flat start to easy those tired legs from...
