Re: LMTT Spectators' D Run to Ankerdine
Not too surprised to be on a solo D Run but disappointed at being the only spectator clapping riders at the top of Ankerdine. At least we had two photographers out there. Great day out though no traffic on way out, downhill mostly and a tail wind. Return a bit more laboured head wind, up hill and no...

Re: Bike Insurance
Mine are on the M and S home insurance and it's good value. But they have a £3000 limit. I've never found separate insurance worthwhile even when promoted by CUK. The stipulations re locks etc when out riding mean that you'll only ever be covered for a commuter bike with at least one D lock.

Thanks Phil, I rode across the Eckerton Bridge 2 years ago ? when it was flooded and open/closed status not clear at Upton but closed later I think. Got through OK but dangerous because of impatient drivers kicking up bow waves. Do hope it's clear on Sat because that's the best route BUT !!
