You're not alone there Adrian, Embarrassed, I fell over at walking pace right at the start.
I can't even blame taking a drink.

Quite understand. I can't ride tiller bikes. I see Neil Fleming chose the NoCom (which is tricky enough) rather than the Fiendish Fish.

It was my first outing on Mike's 2008 Ratracer VLR - which has fairly extreme tiller steering, to which I am not accustomed - and a race long enough make taking a drink pretty much mandatory.  An attempted drinking manouevre led to a loss of control.  At least I did it when sitting on the back of the group so didn't take anyone else out.

Glad everybody is ok...
 
Breaking down on the motorway was really rubbing salt in after Shrewsbury Andy... Cry
I've never seen anybody go to greater lengths to secure the "Unfortunate Scotsman" trophy though... Big smile
 
I hope Adrian and Martin did the decent thing and fell off the right side of the camera...
 
We could make enough out of "You've Been Framed" to cover the cost of some new bandages... LOL
