Cycling World Championship

[Findlayhibby]

Anyone else tuning in? I use a bike .Enjoy using it.But have no knowledge to speak of.Watching the Men Elite at the moment.Basically downhill mountainbiking.Looks like hairy stuff.Wouldnae mind having a wee shot as long as I was allowed to go slow and steady.I've heard about Glencoarse but I only own a hybrid bike and don't know how I would get there without cycling it which would be a bit of an effort.Does anybody have any knowledge?

Our Guy in Colombia​

Guy Martin explores Colombia at street level to find out what makes the country tick. Can one of the world's most beautiful countries escape its long history of drugs and violence?

Episode 2
Guy's Colombian adventure takes in some gravity racing on souped-up bikes, a dive into a narco-submarine and a cup of very special 'tea'

Just watched the downhill race at Fort William. A great spectacle.

Heading up to Glasgow for the men’s road race tomorrow. Chance of a lifetime.

Would have been better finishing in Edinburgh mind

A motorway being closed is a pain in the arse for people though

[Greenmachine]

Don’t know why they couldn’t have gone over the forth road bridge

 

[hibbybilly]

Don’t know why they couldn’t have gone over the forth road bridge

They might have gone over the water like their inventor Sir Walter.

 

[Cavalier]

Don’t know why they couldn’t have gone over the forth road bridge

Because that wouldn't put normal punters out? If If cycled on a motorway I'd get lifted

Clacks bridge is also closed btw.

Wouldn't matter as theyre going onto the roundabout at Ferrytoll to head toward Rosyth

 

[Cavalier]

They could use cycle lanes and paths?

Good luck when it comes to you buying an electric car.

[Hammi]
