I am insured elsewhere, but i used Bicycle Legal in conjunction with my family solicitors, but to no avail, In my case, the driver found a witness, who was not at the scene but the judge found in his favour, even with my solicitor and me having sought reports on how my bike could have been damaged like that.

I’ve seen threads about it over and over, where the police/court services and judges/sheriff’s dont give 2 sh*ts about cyclists vs cars and most often find in favour of the driver

I dont believe he does hold dual nationality, he was born in Ghent but raised in London, I think the reason he was born there was down to his dad (An Aussie) living there as a Pro cyclist aswell, Born in 1980, Wiggo moved back to London in 82 when his parents split

Thats the points for Classic’s Orli, not stage races

There were points for breakaway’s last year aswell

But i do agree with the gaps, its a bit OTT on the points side

Had a look at the roads list, they missed out the wee gem that runs from Kenknock in Glen Lochay over to Glen Lyon at Loch Lyon, tough climb to 505m over 3.5km with the start of the switchbacks at 220m. Great run into Glen Lyon.

The Lochan na Lairige?? number 5 on the list 😉

Depends on how your FB is set
Depends on how your FB is set up, Its not because you “liked” something on the page, its because you “Liked” the page full stop.

Once you like a page, any update will show in your news feed

You can customise certain thing, but the only way of taking them off you news feed is to “unlike” the page or use your lists to avoid it

If you go here https://www.facebook.com/bookmarks/lists

Create a list and add the friends you want to appear and then use that instead of your news feed

Some of my experiences

I ended up getting taken to court because the driver found a “witness”, i got a fine among other things

Just looked up the route, It seems to take in ALOT of the highest roads in Scotland, out of 28 listed on Wikipedia there are 6 of them on the Alford route

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_highest_roads_in_Scotland

The Lecht, Tom Dubh, The Strone, Cabrach, Spittal of Glenmuick, Suie Hill

Just having a look at the list, you would think i’d have gotten used to climbing, with 9 of those roads all in and around my normal cycling routes :O

I’m fine, just stepping up my training to get out one some sportives this year.

Yeah Alford is up here not far from Aberdeen, but I would say some of the climbs, Especially the Lecht is on a par with Applecross

The Lecht peaks out around 2100 feet above sea level and Alford is 460 feet above sea level

Here is an Example of the Lecht, it starts at Corgarff 1235 feet above sea level, then you climb to 2100 feet and back down to Tomintoul which is 1164 feet above sea level, all over around 9.5 miles and it goes //-/_//__/_/// :&

Thanks for that, It seems
Thanks for that, It seems from their website that you can do it on almost any bike, I’ll have a look into hire’s and things because i’d either do it on a road bike or recumbent trike. That’ll be my research for the weekend

Yeah he’s not consistent, but with two ITT’s I think he’s in his element and having won it last year, he’ll be keen to down it again

Thats a good pick there Giff,
Thats a good pick there Giff, without sounding bad, you don’t wanna be doing the Alford event unless you LOVE climbing, it takes in some of my normal routes around here and they are killers on their own, but to put them back to back is like suicide on a bike :”(

[Gkam84]

Is there a route map or GPS
Is there a route map or GPS file i could have a look at?

I’d might be up for this if anyone knows somewhere to hire a racey bike in London as i wouldn’t cart my bike all the way down from Scotland 😕
