Weapons of Choice | Random Bikes from the Cream o’the Croft

The Muckmedden Cream o’ the Croft Bike Festival was a huge success, with over 600 excited riders travelling to Comrie Croft in Perthshire to take part in the action. Featuring a bunny hop competition, a pump track challenge and an awesome enduro there was something for everyone. We stopped at the end of the 8th stage of the enduro to check out 20 random bikes.
