I'm not much of a cyclist myself but was one of the people who turned out on Sunday morning - up at the Loch Tummel Inn in StrathTummel (almost 10 miles into the bike ride) to support you guys.
Its the first time that I have watched the race and I thought it was fantastic - in fact I think that we are very privileged that we have this event in our area.
On behalf of many of us, I am somewhat saddened by the reaction of the very few who feel they have to whinge and complain about this event and even in some cases behave like total morons.
From our perspective, the cyclists were uinfailingly courteous in acknowledging our support and although we spent about 3 seconds in your company (each of you) it was a real pleasure andd in fact, two cyclists even put a hand out for us to slap back - almost all smiled and nodded a head. It was great and I hope you had a great paerty when you all got back to Pitlochry.
