Mac Avalanche 2026 Round Up

Among the 200 riders taking part in the mass start event at the Nevis Range, Fort William, we had two crazy riders from Patina.

No Coat Club captured at the start gate

In seeding Neil West smoked the gaffa after a crash on the black run (Blue Crane), Neil had a time of 8:41 (P65) and Thomas Gorham with the 9:03 (P95).

Huge crash on seeding stage 2

Thomas and Neil decided to join the NO COAT CLUB. It is a tough climb up to the start gate, and being extremely exposed to the highlands' weather conditions chilled the two riders to the bone. However, as soon as that crazy snow section was over and it was time for the long slog down Blue Doon they were both thankful.

Carnage of the mass start

After racing shoulder to shoulder down one of the longest blue tracks in the UK Neil finished with 22:43 (P128) and Thomas 21:26 (P85)

Plenty of snow on the bars of Thomas after a few crashes!!
