Derek Flint Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 When you wipe out, you may only kill yourself, but the utter, abject devastation your passing leaves behind cannot be understated. Of course, you may take another soul or two with you, or perhaps even worse still, live to tell the tale but kill others. On top of those of course, are the poor souls who have to spend their lives being fed baby food and have their dignity taken forever. Its why the world has to change.

Mr. Sausages Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 My body has never moved at 26mph by itself. Neither has yours, or anybody else's for more than 20 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sausages Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 That movement is caused by gravity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still didn’t stop the really bad accident(s) happening this year though did it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd heard they've been flown away? There have been several fatalities in recent years in pro cycling. The speeds of some of the mountain descents are incredible. And look at Cav's last 'off' - he is a very lucky man not to have been left permanently disabled. I don't think policing would have made any difference. The cops are deployed to manage junctions for cycle racing on the open road, for when they might need to race through a stop sign for example. The clubs have worked hard to minimise the requirement by revising routes where possible. Seriously though, hope the injured party makes a good recovery.

Derek Flint Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 All good thanks. Closed to further entries. Jurby 11th and Sloc 12th. Just working out dates for 2019. Its a bit of an art form making sure it doesn't clash with on or off island stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
