One small crumb will be the stylish black outfits. Are the scruffy boys Dan and the one who accused Remco of faking a puncture making an effort or is it just black tee shirt with GCN logo? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21105#post-363409 Sat, 10 Sep 2022 22:02:06 +0000 SRD 363409@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They cancelled the post race show yesterday and today we’re dressed in black.

Fun to see two Portovelo and one Fiestclub Balerno jerseys amongst the spectators. I was a little surprised they don't cover the cattle grids with something.<br /> It was also funny to see the peloton on the descent to Duns stuck on the single track road with the gravel on either side so no room for anyone from the back to get ahead. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21105#post-363253 Mon, 05 Sep 2022 15:40:56 +0000 LaidBack 363253@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Kiwi guy came third.<br /> Great bit of racing up from Whitadder and round turn back to Longfarmacus and Duns. Lots of Edinburgh crowd there maybe CCErs?<br /> Edge of the road looking nice and gravely. Peleton had corked road and Italian guy broke away (insert name here).<br /> Shame though as he got swept up on final climb.<br /> @arellcat - yes wondered why I didn't go and night have if in a possé ? Had list of stuff in morning though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21105#post-363251 Mon, 05 Sep 2022 12:36:15 +0000 chdot 363251@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>FULL report here…</p> <p><a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/rolling-stones-from-depressing-black-holes-to-arsehole-of-the-world/MX2YMW7KN6VMFXI523YRFBOBXA/">nzherald co.nz/entertainment/rolling-stones-from-depressing-black-holes</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21105#post-363250 Mon, 05 Sep 2022 12:20:28 +0000 bill 363250@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The winner of Stage 1, Corbin Strong, is from Invercargill, which Mr Bill pointed out was described as &lt;rule 2&gt;-end of world by the the Rolling Stones. </p> <p>Interestingly in Invercargill (no, there is no river Cargill there) <em>many streets in the city are named after rivers in Scotland.
