This race popped up this year for the first time, so I thought I’d give it a go. I also fancied scoping out the terrain at Lochore Meadows, as this is where one of this year’s Scottish Cyclocross Series races will be held, in November. It’s an interesting place, and the former deep mine (now abandoned) has an artificial loch (Loch Ore) and is used for triathlons, running events, and cyclocross, and is administered by Fife Coast & Countryside Trust.
