We (me, mr fimm and mr fimm's friend) had fun too. Usefully we are Mr &amp; Mrs Z and mr fimm's friend is Mr Y so we were all off together at the end. </p> <p>Good to say hello to LaidBack as well. Next year I might do it on the Brompton (hopefully I will have a new one by then) - I was expecting more inappropriate bikes than there were.</p> <p>Goood amout of support up the hill - especially the family who had chairs and tables out in the front garden to watch (and warm clothes - it was a bit chilly). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18931#post-285394 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 22:12:46 +0000 LaidBack 285394@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Harts put on a really good event. Around 60 riders in all. Great BBQ with McEwans Export and Coke / Irn Bru for the children. Prizes for the top riders. Two did it in under 2 mins. Frightening! </p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/66067108@N08/29054489308/in/album-72157682117275632/" title="Conquer Kaimes EdFoC 18 event"><img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1822/29054489308_653a24175a.jpg" alt="Conquer Kaimes EdFoC 18 event" /></a><br /> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/66067108@N08/28057904097/in/album-72157682117275632/" title="Conquer Kaimes EdFoC 18 event"><img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1783/28057904097_86b3edbcd9.jpg" alt="Conquer Kaimes EdFoC 18 event" /></a></p> <p>Graeme in launch mode - bikes held on start and then a short run on the level before swinging in to the hill!

Laidback tells me that as we had 2 riders standard rules allow us to divide our time by 2. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18931#post-285373 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 19:32:00 +0000 steveo 285373@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Had a half plan to go out and do the kips race but also life.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18931#post-285370 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 18:50:51 +0000 gembo 285370@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was going to use work lecky bike but forgot I was cycling home from Dunfermline instead </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18931#post-285368 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 18:34:09 +0000 Kim 285368@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Had hoped to do it on the Urban Arrow, but life is getting in the way... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18931#post-285363 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 17:47:53 +0000 wishicouldgofaster 285363@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Having to give it a miss due to a pulled hamstring http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18931#post-285352 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 16:59:17 +0000 SRD 285352@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>we had great fun last year and had been looking forward to this year but life seems to be conspiring against us. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18931#post-285343 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 16:33:16 +0000 acsimpson 285343@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm hoping to make it on a Helios.
