As avid Mountain Bikers, Road Racers Cyclocrossers and Hill Runners, we have covered a massive part of mull on our exploits. We think we can managed to find the most interesting and scenic routes that are available on the Island for anyone who wants information.

By following the routes we provide on here, you can gauge your own performance and fitness against us, and who knows, you may even beat us one day!

We have specialists who Excel in the art of story telling in the local bars. During story telling sessions you will hear about the many adventures of the "Island of Mull Cycling Club Crew" and the disasters that have befallen many of its Members. The most embarrassing stories are told to all new members, just to keep everyone on their toes!

So, with this in mind, we once again say "WELCOME", sit back, click away and enjoy the mishaps of others, but who knows, it could soon be you!
 

Sam Downing
Sam is the young up and coming future of cycling.
He has talents taken from various members of the club.
In fact he could be the perfect Cyclist!

Smugness and Legs from Gibbo
Talent from MacInnis
Tenderness from Alan Noble
Good Looks from Dom
Vagueness from Jim
Tight Pants from Alan Parker
Morality from Bruce
And Bra and panties from Jackie and Ruth's washing line.
Yes a complete all rounder all he needs now is a moustache



Dominic Sugars
Dom and Sugars throws up this romantic vision of a proper cyclist with long shorts and a cheery smile, this is is so far from the truth.
 Dom is our Token "Scum Member", a complete lager lout, chain smoker and anti social scum bag. Yes!! Dom is a throwback from the past and is probably a good example of yesterdays "Tour De France" winners.
Dom annoys you when you cant shake him off, even though he has a hangover and when you have one you can hardly pedal. He also annoys you on the last part of a long ride when you energy level have gone and you stop to gobble the last crumbs of your energy bar or drink and Dom smiles and lights a ciggie and smokes it going up the hill.
Will never back down from a challenge and wears girls coloured clothing.

All Racing enquiries and articles will be by
"
Big Boy" Dave Graham

Who specializes in Road racing and Cyclocross and is one of the foremost Time Trialists in the country and holds the record for most punctures in races in Britain… and the man who organized and came 2nd in the televised Isle of Mull Time trial.
Any sporting questions outside cycling will be dealt with by our Brain of Britain Current Cripple.. Again… and  Chief Interviewer and casual cyclist sport expert.


Mr. D.C. Blue MacAlister
Direct any sporting questions outside or inside cycling our Brain of Britain will know the answer.

Wullie is a very fortunate person very Lucky to be alive after a stupidly dangerous Cycling manoeuvre by another Local Cyclist. He courageously fought back and has seen the light at the end of the tunnel and has gone from strength to strength currently and owner of the lightest Bike on Mull…and our Chief Interviewer. Not really technically minded he says his aim this year is to learn how to tighten a brake Bolt
 


Mr Alan Noble
The only Sane person on Mull ..What more can we say...?
The Fact he has a single speed and a Rabbit In the living room does not matter.
But a guru on central Mull. His sweat stains and gob cover most of the central belt of mull and could lead to a nasty accident if you happen to run over it with Slick Tyres.


Mr Bruce Blackadder
The Granddaddy of the Team
Bruce is an expert on Touring and bikes of old and has covered more miles probably than all of us put together if you seek advice or information from the past or need a woolly hat have a blast with Bruce.


Mr Graham Horne
The Jamie Oliver of Cycling
Errr…. just said that because he is a Chef!
No one has actually seen him cycling for about 5 years but insists that he does …man of mystery.


Stephen Bryce
Keeps his bike in the shed ……..always .
Claim to Fame.. starred in a movie involving a "Dirty Jumper"


Jim Keenan
Follows behind everyone tying to keep up... trying to keep the years from advancing but failing miserably... will run, cycle, swim, trip, fall, drown... Ask him anything on any subject…. he will know the answer but unfortunately will not remember it! Or will forget it half way through telling it to you.
 



Jim can be contacted here
 


Any one who wants to ask any questions about the HILL WALKING, the current record holder of most Cobbler Climbs and takes no offence to honest to goodness answers and severe criticism then.

"The Dwarf" (Webmaster)
will be only too happy to assist.
