Clwb Rasio Mona congratulates Mona, one of their most northerly members!

 

Clwb Rasio Mona member, Mona Sturgeon, entered her first ever race: the Kirkudbright Criterium on Sunday 26 Aug and won a gold medal and £10. At only 10 years of age, Mona was the youngest girl there - one was 15! We also understand that Clwb Rasio Mona received some publicity during the event from the race commentator!

Mona's dad, John Sturgeon says: As the season draws to a close she is fired up and looking forward to the event next year.

 

Incidentally, it appears that John keeps himself busy too. He recently did the Scottish Middle & Long distance BAR Championship and said in his e-mail to us on the following day that the 12 hour event had left him a bit weary! John has also raced against Graeme Obree a few times and says that he is quite a character!

 

The Sturgeon family hopes to fit a visit down this way into their calendar for next year so that Mona can try one of our time trials. Needless to say that they will be very welcome indeed, so let's hope that they can make it!

 

Congratulations and best wishes to Mona; from all at
Clwb Rasio Mona!
