Forres-based time trial ace Peter Ettles (Sandy Wallace Cycles) secured victory in the Ronnie MacDonald Memorial 10-mile time trial on the A9 near Invergordon on Saturday.

The 22-year-old clocked 21-40 for the course, winning by more than a minute from his nearest rival.

The day was dry and sunny, but a stiff wind made it hard going on the way back – although there were a few personal bests recorded in the field of 42 riders.

Behind Ettles, Forres CC rider Dave Harter, 49, was second with 22-42, while fellow veteran Alan McCaffrey (Ross-shire Roads CC) was third, the Inver resident being just three seconds further back.

Amy Philips (Moray Firth CC) was fastest of the women with 25-14, while Peter Robertson (Forres CC) was best veteran on standard according to the one rider one prize rule, with +3:57 from an actual time of 24-48.

Francis McCaffrey (Ross-shire Roads CC) was best junior with 30-18, although fastest youth rider Thomas Deas (Cuillin Wheels) was more than four minutes quicker with 26-04.
