Action Argyll

Congratulations to Cameron Mason CX for winning the Scottish National Gravel Champs

Outsider Events

We caught up with @camerooney.mason moments after taking his Elite Scottish Gravel Championship title at @gritofdunoon on Saturday. Cameron was our only rider completing consistent sub-hour laps across the whole race, resulting in a pretty open ride that featured an exceptionally strong solo effort off the front. He eventually crossed the line 9 minutes ahead of the following podium spots, with @markscott259 taking the silver just 5 seconds ahead of Neil Scott in bronze. The course offered a real mix of gravel riding, with some buttery smooth sections blended with the chunky stuff! Elevation was the flavour of the day with 2 major climbs, each lap, resulting in over 2200m across the race duration - this meant testing climbs and flat-out 60+ kmph descents... #gritofdunoon #scottishgravelchamps #willtravelforgravel #outsiderevents #getoutdoors @cyclocrossreds @dunoon_presents @thepressroom.cc @thebritishcontinental @wildaboutargyll
