A comment shared by all the markers I spoke to included how good everyone had been at getting out of the way when a yellow bib came up through, people moving out of the way and waving us through made the job so much easier.

So thank YOU the riders for being safe, observant, cheerful, and not doing anything silly

It was lovely to be part of the ride

I would like to echo Jambo's comments.
It is the first time I have been a marker for such a large group and I was a little apprehensive about it at first.
The way everybody let "all" the markers through without hindering them certainly made things run a lot smoother.

I only saw one instance of a marker being obstructed and the obstructing rider ended up very very close to my back wheel.
I think that all involved know who it concerns and that said rider will ride with a tad more consideration next time.

I agree with Jambo. I really appreciated it that everybody picked me up in the mirrors and made it really easy for me to safely and cleanly overtake when I had my bib on.

When I didnt I agree with everybody else, every marker that overtook me did so in a clean, safe and courteous manner.

From another of your happy little team of markers may i also add that it was great the way i got from TEC to the front of the pack with no hassle or drama at all. I had to keep reminding myslf that i had to pass about 70 odd bikes on the way but it was a such breeze it was great

So thank you to all who took part for making it so easy for all of us.

Ermmmmm, your lovely Kate is cute as hell Phil, the photos on the Org dont do her justice at all. So.....ermm, i wanted to keep her for as long as i could really

Sad thruth, as you know now is that i had to dump her at the side of the road for a whle in the rain (i'm such a gent) to go and find a Baldyman by the side if the road and make sure he was alright.

but the cheer we got when we finnally arrived was worth it

Pah, your not her type anyway... Your far to good looking!

[Spiderman]

i'm not gonna ddd this to the "quotes" thread but after what Bear said about you i stand no chance, no matter how good i may or may not look

[phil24_7]

LOL. No comment!

Big UP to all the markers on Saturday - great job guys.

I thought the Markers were rubbish. I've never seen such bad marking in all my life. (Especialy the one who didn't see the TEC bib who I had to go back for )

Well done fellas. You made me proud.

The whole event worked very well and went as smoothly as a squid going down a buttered slide. Supervox and Messie you're a credit to the Org.
