Our granddaughters were staying with us this weekend, and we decided we would walk a few km along the old railway line to see the UCI road race cyclists exiting down from the Campsies. But getting young girls out of their beds, and ready to go was a difficult task, and even with brisk walking it seemed we were likely to miss the event . But news came through on our phones of the hold up for some protesters in the Carron Valley, so we made it in plenty of time for the restart. Here is the lead group - the peloton was some minutes behind

It looks like he's overtaking a cyclist and leaving at least a 1 metre gap so "On your right!"
Or
"Hay mate if I give you my phone can you take a photo, I didn't expect to be at the front of this race"
