Cycling: Heading south part of Endura's tough race schedule
A squad of five flew south today to contest an event that will be broadcast on national television tomorrow and will return north immediately after the event.
The group is headed by James McCallum, who will be looking for a solid performance to round off his preparations for Saturday's Edinburgh Nocturne where he is keen to make an impression. The 30-year-old Capital based Commonwealth Games bronze medallist has been in good form of late and was edged out in a tight finish to Sunday's Scottish Power Renewables Criterium in Dumfries.
