Sorry it's late ( & North of the Border)
" SPORT: The Adventure Show
On: BBC 2 Scotland (02)
Date: Sunday 3rd November 2013 (starting in 36 minutes)
Time: 17:30 to 18:30 (1 hour long)

The Adventure Show heads to the north west for a 90-mile cycling event. The Bealach Mor includes the biggest road climb in the UK, with 2,000 feet of ascent in just six miles. In another tough challenge, we join one man on his attempt to become the first blind man to climb the Old Man of Hoy in Orkney, "

Haven't a clue whether it'll be repeated or gettable with iPlayer

Anybody have any recommendations for cycling trousers? I don't quite like the look of the tights style.

Believe I've done that road on the motorbike. I can tell you, it was hard work with an engine, let alone pedal power. Not too sure I'd fancy doing that one - although maybe worth a go next year?! Perhaps we could get an Org Group trip?

Have to agree - they are THE ones to go for. Fantastically warm, comfy and not a bad price.

Get a pair of baggy running shorts over the top if you must.
