    Is there an Edinburgh approximate marshals-not-doing-feeder-rides gathering time yet?

    (I am thinking of fuelling up with brunch at a handy café beforehand... (Possibly at Snax, because sometimes you just want sausage, chips, beans and a vat of tea...))

    Do you need any more for Edinburgh? I'm riding to Glasgy on the Sunday so I can pick up a blue tabard a day early.

    Iwrats. I was thinking of colecting a strava heat Map to show where all the Edinburgh POP riders started from. Hankchief can lend me his GPS. I plan to sit at start of ride and wait until everyone has passed by me. I could then be the last Marshall at end of other riders. I could then bring up the rear of the ride.

    That would be cool. Neat idea.

    I can volunteer myself for Edinburgh (it's Mr Weezee's turn this year to do Pop on the big bike).

    Consider me standing by and awaiting further instruction.

    I believe @IWRATS has decided to get himself into the right zen frame of mind for POP by cutting himself off from all electronic communication until tomorrow afternoon. @arobcomp should be sending out more detailed instructions, but in the absence of any other official communique, if non-feeder-ride marshals can assemble at the Meadows at around 11:15 to be briefed, that would be grand.

    Do they still park their van on the cycle lane?

    Details to come this evening folks. Apologies for radio silence, we've been trying to figure out if there is going to be a big hole in the royal mile or not!

    Meeting times are 11:15 and 11:30 for briefings and tabard collection. IF you're coming on a feeder ride and arrive later please come and find me for a tabard. I'll be near the front somewhere!

    ARobComp - I wouldn't trust what SGN tell you about completion times. You'll only be sure after a recce of the route on the day.

    11:15 and 11:30? Two locations? Or just staggering the masses of marshals?

    basically 2x marshal briefings because last year I did one that lasted twice as long. Easier to do 2x short briefings!

    @steveo Can we hold you in reserve - thing we're ok at the moment. If you pop along and say hello on the day I can let you know if that's ok?
