Although it snowed a touch on Saturday, Sunday presented us with some stunning weather and some gorgeous views in all directions. The racers were all smiles as they careened their way around muddy corners and bounced through rocky ditches. The event presented everyone with the perfect reason to spend a day outside – be that time spent competing in the race or taking a quick snooze in the grass between heats. Like all other No Fuss Events, the Macavalanche was packed with lively athletes, mountain bike enthusiasts, and active supporters of No Fuss Events from around Lochaber and the rest of Scotland.

The next No Fuss Event is the Trail Half Marathon and 5km Fun Run on the 13th of May. If you like a good laugh, excellent company (rain or shine), and a general good time, get involved and sign up to take part in some of their events or to help as a marshal. I’m sure everyone at No Fuss will agree when I say “The More the Merrier!”

The great news is the event, which generates around £2.5 million for the local economy, will return to Fort William until at least 2013 thanks to a new agreement UCI has confirmed with the fantastic Nevis Range.  For more information on this story read this.

We were there having a great time and felt sorry for all you who couldn’t make it, so we quickly threw together a wee video of a few bits and bobs we shot on the day, in between trips to the beer tent of course…  A truly great event brilliant organised by all involved, if you can make it next year then do!

Please share the video with your friends and help make next years event bigger than ever!
