Who was at TOB Stage 3 and took in a ride?

Brian B

After an emergency call out at work I just made it in time to see the TOB Stage 3. I only just rolled up to the Gordon Arms 5mins before the break away bunch came through. I wanted to be at the top of the Roberton Braes or Alemoor but at least I made it. I also bagged an 80mile run which was a bit less than planned but was okay giving the sporadic weather.

Any else on the forum watching? I saw Holmeboy who posts on here coming off the Berry Bush climb and a few other familair faces from sportives.

Good turn out and lots of riders on the course which are normally very quiet roads.

I live in Dumfries, and the race came past my house, but I went down to join the crowds on the Whitesands , the huge telly screen was great.
The only ride I managed was 5 miles for work in the morning, but it was out and back on the last 3 k of the race and i spotted a critically located pothole which i managed to have the roads boys fill it before the race came ( they had a patching squad out double checking the route just hours before the race came
