MAKING their way across the border into Cornwall last weekend to take part in the Treggy 7 race was a team from Bere Alston Trekkers (Bats).

The road race is a fast but challenging 7 mile course starting in Launceston Town Centre and finishing in the picturesque grounds of Launceston Castle, it is mainly flat, with one severe hill prior to half-way point but nothing the Bats could not deal with.

First Male Bat home was Ben Neale who finished 37th overall and first lady Bat home was Sally Dunn who was followed a few seconds later by Julie Page. Making his debut for the race was Matt Luckham.

All Bats ran well with the entire team finishing under 70 minutes.
