The Ski-An-Duro race will take place on Aonach Mor
LOCHABER-based company No Fuss Events has announced the introduction of a new race to its 2018 programme.
The Ski-An-Duro ski/board and mountain bike race will go from the summit of Aonach Mor to the Pine Martin café at the base station on March 17.
150 individuals or teams are expected to take part in the event in the outdoor capital of the UK.
Frazer Coupland from No Fuss said: “2018 has been on our mind for a while now. In 2018 we will once again be hosting the World Endurance Mountain Bike Organisations 24hr World Championships for solos and pairs.
“We are in the process of preparing a bid for another World Series Mountain Bike event for 2019 which has to be ready in November this year.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
