NEAR perfect weather conditions - light winds, cool temperatures and no rain - greeted the 19 riders taking part in this year’s annual West Highland Wheelers race from Fort Augustus to Fort William.
Despite the unusually pleasant conditions causing some last minute dilemmas about what to wear, hopes were high for some good times.
This proved to be the case as the race was won by Stephen Dent in one hour, 38 minutes -18 minutes faster than last year’s winning time.
