Scottish Pre-65 Bike Security

Featured Replies

What are the security arrangements (if any) for competitors machines in Kinlochleven? Is there somewhere they can be left overnight securely or is it just down to the individual to sort out at their accommodation? Not having a van I would have to use a trailer and that doesn't leave much in the way of security - for the bike or trailer for that matter!

Thanks

Mmm, not what I was hoping to hear but probably what I thought would be the case. I suppose hiring a van is another option. Of course this is all theoretical, I'm not holding out much hope of getting an entry!

Done the trial a few times and was always able to take my bike round the back and chain it to something substantial in the garden.

I use a bike rack so the same problem as a trailer, it's always on show.

In fact both B&Bs were surprised at my concern but then they don't come from London !

You can never be too careful these days, events like the Pre65 could offer easy pickings for tea leaves, lots of easily stolen bikes and trailers around. I hate leaving my old bikes anywhere.

Hi Guy's,

 

Just bin watching A clip about George Howard Cole.

 

Then I read this.

 

 Minder sprang to mind.

 

 Just fit a duel seat and take Dennis with you as security.

 

Make the whole trial more feasible?

 

Regards Charlie.

No way am I walking up pipeline, just go for it and hope for the best!

You wouldn't need another seat for Dennis, he'd fit in your pocket according to Little Britain!

The coming back down is worse than the going up believe me. Real heart in the mouth stuff.
