It was 2019 when we last spoke to Iain Macleod – he was with Aberdeen Wheelers then but is now with Kelpie Racing – he’d just won the SC 50 mile championships and the man is making the headlines again; a couple of weeks ago he took the Scottish Cycling Olympic Time Trial title and before that recorded the fastest 100 mile time trial ever ridden on Scottish roads.
I can’t say ‘Scottish Record’ because the race wasn’t held under the auspices of Scottish Cycling, rather in a Cycling Time Trials event – surely it’s time for the two bodies to sit down and agree common ground on this issue?
