    Hi Carmelo

    Presuming Iain got a place in the race (?), I can help but will have the boys with me so I'd need to marshall somewhere where there's enough space for them to be off the road.

    THANK YOU all those that have come forward! I am pretty much there now.I have made a provisional list(may change).Marshals need to come to Cople Village Hall .Grange Lane, Cople Beds, MK44 3TT at about 8.45 to 9.00 depending on whether you are riding to Marshall point.
    Vic...you and Andy did a great job with putting up signs...could I ask the same which means you need to be there earlier 08.00...from Marshals list are there 2 that could come earlier to assist Vic and Andy please?

    Drivers about 08.45...enough time to get signs on cars and radios sorted etc...

    If anyone else comes forward they are most welcome..I can't stress the importance of Marshals enough..I know it is a bit boring but the more we have the safer the race will be.
    For those who haven't done it before...you will be given a red flag with which to warn motorists that the race is approaching...some points need 3....We are technically not allowed to stop traffic..just 'request' but I tend to make a nuisance of myself and make sure they see me!...some may ask what is going on...politely tell them that a race is approaching and it will be passing very quickly in a few moments...we will also have 3 motorcycle marshals helping...sometimes we do get a driver who just wants to go through regardless..nothing we can do about that..

    Hi!, I can help too if needed. I have a big, yellow "caution cyclists" sign too.

    Think we might need another sign that says 'Carmelo's calm now'
