Saturday 30th EDINBURGH EVENING NEWS Bravehearts get off mark in bid to fund future stars CYCLING BY COLIN RENTON A NEW initiative is offering Scotland’s cycling stars of the future a dream opportunity to experience a higher level of competition and realise their true potential. The Braveheart Cycling Fund has been set up with the aim of uncovering the sport’s future stars and exposing them to higher levels of competition in order to realise their full potential. The scheme is the brainchild of Brian Smith, a former professional rider who was twice British champion and is a former team-mate of five-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong. Smith and three other cycling enthusiasts have set themselves the ambitious goal of raising money to finance the project. "Our first fundraising exercise will be a dinner in November," explained Smith. "The cost of the venue and all of the food has been donated, so all of the ticket money will be profit. If we can raise £3000 we will be able to fund trips that riders could not afford otherwise. "It could be taking a women’s team to a road race on the continent, or taking riders to a big event down south, such as the Lincoln Grand Prix, or it might be giving our juniors a chance to compete in a higher standard of competition. "We don’t have any fixed criteria," he added. "The plan is to raise funds in various ways and we have a huge number of ideas on how to achieve that. We haven’t ruled anything out." The plan is to invite riders to apply for funding, and Smith insists that it will not be élitist or exclusive, explaining there will be no limitations. "We want to look after people who may miss out on the chance to realise their potential. We want to support all disciplines. So, we are not going to say that we will only provide financial backing for road racers or track guys. "All I want is for young Scottish talent to have a chance to prove what they can do." Full details of the fund, its aims and how to make a contribution appear on the website: www.braveheartcyclingfund.com.

How do you delete entrees ?

Whit? "comic"?... "COMIC"!?!?!?! (You can go off people, y'know.) Anyone know a penniless arts student (aren't they all?) who might want to earn a few bob doing that? The result will be for the family archives, o'course, but a smaller version can indeed be used as an ID, as Brian says. . . . . (Mutters darkly) "Comic - ah'll comic him..."

Just a thought on a friday night at 10:40..... Instead of pictures of club riders for there entrees on the forum can someone do 'comic pics' for everyone like fatblokeonabike has done ? Just an idea.....

The bunch attacked me..... I was on wrong side of wheel.......so missed break..... just a couple i have heard in past......
