And if Face Partnership are organising Nocturnes in Singapore and Melbourne, they could do without the additional effort involved in dealing with other UK events in addition to London... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=412#post-28854 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 11:33:21 +0000 cb 28854@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was hoping to take part in the folder race.

I'd imagine there will be other stuff organised as well (IIRC, the Marshalls/Candi TV team were at Velo Ecosse during the day last year, and there may be the odd unofficial group ride...).</p> <p>It's probably too much to hope that we get last year's weather again, but I'm really looking forward to this. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=412#post-3145 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 21:13:16 +0000 Min 3145@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>YAAY!
