TWO young cycling stars from the same Peeblesshire family are taking part in the Scottish Power Mini Downhill Final this weekend at the Fort William Mountain Bike World Cup.
Emily Carrick-Anderson and brother Corran Carrick-Anderson are part of Peebles Cycling Club. Their father is former World Cup racer Crawford Carrick-Anderson.
Emily will be competing in the Under 10 Girls race which she came 3rd in last year.
Corran was the winner in the Under 10 Boys race in 2013 and is competing in the Under 12 Boys race this year. The ScottishPower Mini Downhill enables young riders aged eight to 16 to compete in this fast and exciting sport, putting rider and machine against the clock. Each young rider has to ride a set course comprising of jumps, drops, roots, rocks, twists and turns in the fastest time.
The Fort William Mountain Bike World Cup has a reputation for being a great family-friendly event hosted in the best of spirits at one of Scotland’s most exciting mountain bike venues.
