people know Scotty only had his first competitive mountain bike race one year ago and has since competed in numerous 6 hour and 12 hour enduros. He recently finished
second in the Kellevie 24hr in only his second attempt which has earned him selection for the World 24 Hour Championship in Canberra coming up in October 2010. Scotty
