Speedway: Legend Briggs rides again
The 76-year-old New Zealander is raising money for Sport Relief and the Speedway Riders' Benevolent Fund, and has undertaken to ride a bike all over Britain this summer.
He is starting off at John O'Groats next week and Armadale will be his first port of call for the Scottish Open – a title he won at old Meadowbank in 1967.
