You seem to be forgetting that Wilma's Cow and I turned up to watch one of those crits last year. :-p </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9592#post-102469 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 15:13:15 +0000 kaputnik 102469@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I try help out with ERC with marshalling. I've also been asked to get involved in helping the planning and organisation of the Ingliston Criteriums this year, where I usually help out on sign-on. Ingliston is about the only place they can run the crits (needs a closed-road tarmac circuit), which is a shame because the location is a bit out of the way so doesn't get any crowds. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9592#post-102458 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 13:50:46 +0000 fimm 102458@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Actually, having re-read the thread and seen the bit about "planning/running events..." etc I won't. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9592#post-102424 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 10:23:31 +0000 fimm 102424@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah, OK.
