Hawksland event went downhill fast for good causes
“It was excellent,” said Elaine Sommerville, one of the organisers.
“We had a good turnout of competitors, and in the uphill bike race, our record was smashed.”

Competitors were of all ages, with the youngest being only seven years old.
The winner was Team Rooket, all the way from Irvine, North Ayrshire, but Hawksland family Mike Taylor, wife Iona and daughter Maggie had the best-looking bogie in Legow.
“We had great support from the community,” said Elaine.”
The day brought in over £950, although expenses have still to be paid, but that will go into a fund which ultimately will be shared among three charities – Erskine Hospital, Childline Scotland and the Mercy Ships.
