Did anyone catch the Adventure Show on BBC 2 last weekend?

They covered the 2010 Skye sportives organised by the excellent Hands On Events, and which I had the pleasure in participating in. Got to chat to Dougie Vipond at the start (briefly) and then again later on in the pub. I was a bit gutted they managed to miss me out of a shot where 4 of us were setting off together, but imagine my surprise when they used a slow-mo shot of me pedalling off as the closing credits begin to roll - this is likely to be the closest i'll get to feeling like a pro.
Worth a watch even if you weren't there. Proper rural cycling and just an amazing island in general.

They filmed the setting off but they had a motorbike and drove round filming, plus filmed some interviews with a few riders.
We had light drizzle that developed into rain, but nothing too bad by Skye standards
Typically, the next two days were blazing sunshine :P
Going back up tomorrow to do the Cuillin Wheels sportives.0
