A familiar name cropped up to win the recent David Campbell Memorial Race in Fife, run on a tough course over the Cults Hills – that of George Atkins. Spent time living and racing in Scotland a year or two ago riding for the Velo Ecosse team. This year he’s stepped up from the 100% ME amateur squad to ride as a pro with the Raleigh.

As well as Raleigh’s Evan Oliphant’s recent overall win in the Premier Calendar another national competition was claimed by a rider who has close links to Scotland – 100% ME’s George Atkins regards Edinburgh as his second home and spent time in the capital after he left the BC ‘Plan’ a year or two ago. A former Commonwealth Games silver medallist on the track and now back with the BC programme he displayed great consistency to win the six race National Criterium Series just as Oliphant was sealing the Premier Calendar. We caught up with the Sheffield man as he racked up the miles to get his road legs back after all those one hour town centre efforts.

George Atkins is the reigning British points champion and finished second to Cameron Meyer in the 2010 Commonwealth Games points race. That should have been the start of the next phase of his career. Instead, it was almost the end. We caught up with him in order to hear his story.
