The Arran Belles were delighted to welcome world silver medallist, world re cord holder and London and Rio Paralympian Mel Nicholls back to Arran for Christmas. Once the wild weather abated, the Belles were privileged when Mel joined them on one of their weekly cycles.
Always looking for an excuse, they all enjoyed a get together at Fiddler’s where the Belles were delighted to accept a signed athletics Rio 2016 top from Mel. She has just returned from training in Lanzarote where she was in preparation for the Seville Marathon in Spain.
Janice Small from the Belles said: ‘We wish Mel every success with her future road cycling plans.’
