Arran High School Mountain Bike Club was presented with the Best Mountain Bike Club by Scottish female mountain biker of the year Katy Winton last weekend.
The club, in operation for two years, was recognised for its commitment to encouraging girls into the sport, for its after-school programme, residential trips and for its introduction of the sport to island primary schools. Katy, from Peebles, then joined the club on a twohour trail. Joining Katy on the trail were 16 club members, mountain bike club leaders Robert McNeice, Steve Garraway and Kim Toogood, head teacher Barry Smith and Active Schools co-ordinator Archie McNicol.
