A champion cyclist who suffered serious injuries in a horror road crash nine months ago and feared she’d never ride again returned to action at the weekend when she got in the saddle to seal a spot at the World Championships later this summer.
Christina Mackenzie, 45, was left in agony after being struck by a car during a training ride along the B822, near Kippen, last September.
The time trial specialist was struck by an SUV-type car and also the farming trailer it was towing – leaving her with a shattered pelvis by the road side.
