Cyclist arrested on suspicion of being drunk
Who else here drinks to excess? Hmmm.
http://www.bognor.co.uk/news/cyclist...ntre-1-3701872 A BOGNOR Regis cyclist has been bailed by police until May 18 after a pensioner suffered a broken hip in a collision. The 52-year-old male was arrested on suspicion of being drunk in charge of a pedal cycle and grevious bodily harm. He was released while detectives make further inquiries into the accident with a woman, aged 72, also from Bognor. It happened in Sudley Road, Bognor, about 2pm on Wednesday, April 4. A member of the public saw the collision and alerted the emergency services while following the cyclist into nearby Hotham Park and returning him to the scene until the police arrived. A Sussex Police spokeswoman said: "This was an unfortunate incident for the elderly woman - who has suffered a painful fracture - but, thankfully, remains in a stable condition. "I would like to thank the member of the public who helped the injured woman and showed great initiative by following the cyclist into a nearby park and persuading him to return to the scene. "We would like to hear from anyone else who witnessed the incident or saw a man wearing a black jacket and riding a bicycle along Sudley Road shortly before the collision." They should call 101 and quote serial 789 of 4/4. |

Whisky Trail, a new sportive for Scotland
QUOTE:
Midsummer weekend is a busy time for cycling events, and if you're anywhere near Elgin it just got a bit busier with a new sportive, the Whisky Trail, rolling out from the Moray town on 24 June for a ride past some famous distilleries. Moray is home to over half of Scotland's whisky producers and the rides will roll past world famous malt whisky names such as Glenfiddich, Glenlivet and The Macallan. There's 40 and 80 mile options, as well as a family ride of 10 miles and the event is rasing funds for North East Sensory Services, a charity that provides advice and support to over 3000 people with sight loss, hearing loss and the Deaf community in the Grampian area. David Lang of Maximise Sport, toe organisers, said, "The Whisky Trail Sportive has all the elements necessary to deliver an outstanding sportive - great roads, magnificent scenery and an exceptional route, following parts of the renowned Malt Whisky Trail all contribute to create an event with outstanding potential." When pressed to confirm or deny whether there'd be whisky tasting at the feed stops we were disappointed to learn that drams are not included in your £35 entry fee. All the susual stuff is though: electronic timing, feed stations, goody bag and comprehensive signing. There's also showering and changing facilities at Elgin FC.
