He's admitted attacking his team leader deliberately, no defence for him.

On another note, I'm off for two weeks from Friday , give me a shout if you are doing any non logie Kirk rides

No tickets left for sale on the site?

Thanks Tug... I don't know why I've never got that site on google before- it's always been through ticket agent sites which charge around £90 per ticket.... good that you can get disabled access ones by ringing the site number you posted... many thanks!

Thats very true

Where are you planning on standing tonight? @Rasmus & @Scoosh

 

[Scoosh]

Not decided yet - I'm heading up in the next wee while and will go to Grassmarket to see HJ and David Gardner of Laid Back Bikes, then probably wander around getting bored watching the racing.

Not sure, maybe somewhere up the hill from Grassmarket.

I've got my route planned on the garmin, taking me to the grassmarket, hoping to be there for the start of the 19:30 race

 

[Telemark]

Heading off to the Grassmarket in a minute - women's race starting 17:30
I'll be roaming the streets bothering people with EdFoC programmes , corner Grassmarket/Victoria Street is a good spot, sharp corner uphill on cobbles - lots of gears crunching a few years ago, when the Nocturne took place on the same route - David Millar won ahead of Cameron Meyer . Will bring the wee camera along, too!

That was fun! Managed to catch the women's and men's races, met Mr & Mrs @Scoosh - who helped distribute EdFoC programmes , and Mr & Mrs @Fubar! Rumours were spreading about @Rasmus having been spotted ... didn't see @Col5632 either, hope you didn't get lost in the big city .
Boy do those guys go fast! I saw a nasty crash on the cobbles/sharp bend at the western end of the Grassmarket, a rider from Team GB going down, holding his elbow (not collar bone I thought) and limping off to the first aid car ...

OOPS - P.S. And of course there was @fimm +1 !

Couldn't make it along but have been following the social media updates from @Fubar, @Col5632, and of course, our man in the VIP enclosure, @HonestMan1910 - the jammy get! Am with envy!

 

[Telemark]

@HonestMan1910 - you should have said, we could have hob-nobbed with you over the fence
Did you meet anybody interesting?

[Rasmus]

Almost three hours of travel time for an hour and a bit of racing, but yeah, it was still worth it

Rumours were spreading about @Rasmus having been spotted ...

I did see you from across the road, but you were too busy with your program distribution to notice

Very enjoyable racing - I was surprised at how fast they went straight from the start. One guy was dropped before the first corner!

 

[Scoosh]

I certainly did - I met a Director of the Edinburgh Festival** and his lovely wife ...


**the important one - not that pretentious 'arty' thing ...
