Hope you have taken a note of the potential traffic chaos that is on it's way...

The organisers are begging you to lift share or cycle to the course on a newly created cycle way...from nearby town

Will be on the Isle of Skye this weekend so sadly can't make it, but agree that it should be a great week

How many times did the commentator on the downhill say 'he's carrying good speed through there'???
At least once for every competitor and sometimes twice in the same run!

That said, at least they showed it.
They did quite well for their first stab at it. Between that and the Tour of Britain the BBC might be trying to bring cycling to the masses.
Mountain biking is the new sking up here with 'the scene' being much like sking was some years ago.
I would like to have gone but we got married on the Friday and I didn't think she'd be too impressed if I had suggested it. We did however sit down to watch it on TV and she asked why we didn't go!
