Perhaps the course favours lighter smaller competitors? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9704#post-104963 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 19:12:33 +0000 olivercw 104963@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is on iPlayer <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01rj3s6/The_Adventure_Show_2012_2013_Episode_6/">iPlayer Adventure Show Episode 6</a><br /> Chris Oliver is on about 37mins 10seconds. </p> <p>I was very pleased with the piece. Great for cycling, physical activity and obesity. TripleEcho did a good job. They are putting onto Vimeo later in the week permanently. I'll share Vimeo link when I know it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9704#post-104845 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 12:33:39 +0000 chdot 104845@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They'd have had to rename it as they'd got older!</p> <p>Think programme said that this year there was a girl for first time, so not exactly same team. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9704#post-104842 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 12:30:03 +0000 Cyclingmollie 104842@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes the team has been renamed. Very enjoyable programme if you get the chance to see it (though Cameron McNeish irks me with his walking poles). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9704#post-104841 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 12:20:31 +0000 crowriver 104841@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>I was certainly surprised that a group so young had any sort of chance in an endurance event.</em></p> <p>They won it last year when they were 14! Must have re-named the team since then? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9704#post-104839 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 12:17:56 +0000 fimm 104839@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I haven't seen the programme yet, but last year the winners of the 4-person teams section was a team called "56 Combined (Yes - All U15)"... (by just under 10 minutes from a team from Alpine Bikes). yes, I'm sure they had a lot of support from enthusiastic parents, but one would expect the Alpine Bikes guys to have a good support crew too...</p> <p>(Last year's results are <a href="http://lappedenduro.sportident.co.uk/home/event/publicresults/overall.html?eventid=80d31b4a-e4ec-4449-9fea-9b0b479a7067&amp;links=">here</a>... I wanted to check exactly what the team was called) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9704#post-104837 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 12:09:55 +0000 Bruce 104837@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I really like the show as it highlights so many great events and people involved in various outdoor pursuits.</p> <p>I really like Oliver's piece on camera as well, staying fit and healthy all your life is a great message to get to people. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9704#post-104833 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 11:56:15 +0000 chdot 104833@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Felt a bit sorry for the Scottish Youth CX team"</p> <p>I was certainly surprised that a group so young had <em>any</em> sort of chance in an endurance event. </p> <p>Wasn't clear if mechanical problems were due to cheap(er) equipment, rider error/inexperience or 'bad luck'. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9704#post-104829 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 11:51:23 +0000 crowriver 104829@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think the squirmy stage is followed by the surly stage, isn't it? So you'll just get loads of backchat and "This is sooo boring" type comments...</p> <p>Anyway, watched it. Felt a bit sorry for the Scottish Youth CX team. Superbly shot footage, as ever. Enjoyed it. Good spots on Mr. Oliver and the bargain hillwalking gear. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9704#post-104789 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 07:57:27 +0000 Roibeard 104789@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@SRD - <em>actually watched some of it anyway, but will look forward to whole thing without squirmy kids when available</em></p> <p>&lt;grin&gt;</p> <p>Bad news I'm afraid on this front - the squirmy stage lasts substantially longer than iPlayer's timeout.</p> <p>Robert<br /> (who'll actually be a bit disappointed when the squirmy stage passes, as that probably will coincide with the end of the cuddly stage) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9704#post-104781 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 22:24:20 +0000 SRD 104781@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cool.

Got to the DVR in time. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9704#post-104767 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 18:43:34 +0000 LaidBack 104767@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Reminder that the show also covers the 24 hour <em>Strathpuffer</em> race - tonight BBC2. </p> <p>Bike technician/mechanic/fixer from The Bicycle Works did it with her friend in one of the few female teams. She reckons that the show will focus on those that suffered most! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9704#post-104608 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:44:26 +0000 cc 104608@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks! I'll watch.</p> <p>I always try to watch that programme anyway but often forget, difficult to keep track of it when it's on just once a month or so. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9704#post-104597 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:57:22 +0000 crowriver 104597@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Great stuff! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9704#post-104592 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:10:52 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 104592@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Excellent, sounds like one that's definitely to watch :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9704#post-104587 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 14:58:50 +0000 olivercw 104587@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><strong>Adventure Show - BBC2 Scotland Sun 17 Mar 8pm</strong><br /> I was filmed for a morning cycling around Arthur's Seat/Salisbury Crags in January in the snow and also at Shawfair Park Hospital, Edinburgh. Some of you may know I lost 12.5 stone after gastric band surgery. The show will include the Stathpeffer 24 Hour MTB endurance race, Cameron McNeish doing a walking bit and my piece on obesity/cycling. I have not seen the piece, the editor from TripleEcho says it’s very inspirational and positive for the cycling/obesity message. The main focus is about getting back to cycling and doing the things you did when you were younger. TripleEcho came to me for the story. It will certainly bring a more positive light to cycling than my recent BBC Newsnight ambush. </p>
