Twice the Hour Record holder and twice World Champion in the 4,000m Pursuit, Graeme Obree knows a thing or two about racing against the clock. He’s clearly keen to give something back to the time trial community too, as this morning he retweeted a photo of himself marshalling the Scottish National 25 Mile Time Trial Championships.

Graeme Obree’s Battle Mountain film, which follows his attempt to break the International Human Powered Vehicle Association’s speed record in 2013, is now available for download. A DVD is also said to be in the pipeline.
The Scottish National Time Trial Championships are taking place today in Irvine.
