A friend was closer to the corner and was told by one of the teams not to move, as he was to be their braking point.</p> <p>Thankfully, apart from a lot of wobbles, a number of unclips and one guy almost crashing in to the barriers, everyone stayed upright. Got a great view of all of West Port and Briggs was dominant, you could see it lap by lap. </p> <p>Passers by seemed more interested in the moggies than the cycling... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16348#post-220518 Thu, 19 May 2016 23:00:13 +0000 LaidBack 220518@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/HaL6Xo"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7350/27021080912_e588a56b10_z.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/HaL6Xo">Pearl Izumi - Tour Series 2016 - Scottish Summer</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/66067108@N08/">LaidBackBikes</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/Hb1L9q"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7386/27023940952_d4efab6216_z.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/Hb1L9q">Pearl Izumi - Tour Series 2016 - Scottish Summer</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/66067108@N08/">LaidBackBikes</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/GTSHKs"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7510/26841308060_16090b2a0d_z.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/GTSHKs">Pearl Izumi - Tour Series 2016 - Scottish Summer</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/66067108@N08/">LaidBackBikes</a>, on Flickr </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16348#post-220517 Thu, 19 May 2016 21:58:34 +0000 gembo 220517@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Spotted PS giving beer to a rider outside bow bar in earlier races.
