Peter, Chloe & Roy line up for an attempt to dislodge the spider from any helmet that comes into reach. This contest helped to develop accuracy and bravery of the riders. The spider, of course, comes from the famous story of Bruce being inspired by a spider at a time when he was at risk of giving up the fight for Scottish independence.
