the first time I used it to ride to Bath and found a dead body…………

As long as your alibi checked out… 😯

He was interviewed for the local news last night

Oh no!
I know Deacs pretty well (not through roadying). Bloody good lad.

Through the army?

Yea. he is a good lad. Very strong rider. he’s rinsing the local cyclocross races at the moment

spread the story, spread the word

Deacs is indeed a flippin hero 🙂 Good job it was his head and knuckles that took the brunt of it 🙂

I ride the path most days too and have done for more than 10 years. Have had problems but like Mr Agreeable says I wouldn’t want to put people off using it.

There are normally more problems in the few weeks after the clocks go back, paradoxically up until this incident it has been relatively quiet 🙁

I wouldn’t like to be the thieves. They’d be much better off if they turned themselves in now and opted for ‘protective custody’. There are plenty of mates of his that are all set to get down there with their night vision goggles on and set up an OP 🙂

Sorry for the resurrection;

You can’t keep a good man down;

Third entry.

holy sh*t, that boy’s got cojones

Worthwhile resurrection. 😉

Well deserved.

Utmost respect from me.

yea.. he’s a top bloke deacon. Been on sky news this morning as well.

he’s road racing loads at the moment

blimey. proper hero.

Should have thought to resurrect this one but also thought he and others deserved a thread of their own 🙂
