Just took a closer look at the route, and if they start at 7:30, the bulk of them should have cleared the Innocent Path by around 08:00, 08:30, so it's almost definitely not worth diverting when I come through a little later. I didn't make a note of the times on the sign when I was there – does that match up with their estimates?</p> <p>Thanks, everyone! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19185#post-293543 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 10:18:49 +0000 jdanielp 293543@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've encountered it in previous years (but possibly not whilst cycling myself) and don't have any particularly unpleasant memories; more just a degree of bemusement. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19185#post-293537 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 08:43:37 +0000 fimm 293537@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I would also expect that participants would be told to share the paths nicely. Whether they will is beyond the control of race organisers unfortunately. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19185#post-293536 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 08:28:53 +0000 acsimpson 293536@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The path should be fine. I used to do the survival of the fittest event which posted this one. It may be a bit busier than usual but no need to divert. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19185#post-293516 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 15:40:21 +0000 gembo 293516@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Signs on the aqueduct too - 9.30 til 13.00 so if starts to the west at 9.30 think it will be the return that will be your issue @lingcat</p> <p>Edit - ah maybe not, innocent being used at start and finish? Cheeky blighters. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19185#post-293513 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 13:31:18 +0000 lingcat 293513@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's a sign up at the St Leonard's end of the Innocent Tunnel about the path being used for the Rat Race (<a href="http://ratrace.com/ute/route/" rel="nofollow">http://ratrace.com/ute/route/</a>) next Sunday. </p> <p>I normally cycle out to Portobello on Sunday mornings for a swim and don't fancy having to bypass that stretch of path to take on the drivers speeding down empty Sunday morning roads – if this event's been held here before, has anyone encountered it? Or anyone planning to take part and know a little bit more about it? It's an ultra-marathon, so I'm wondering if the crowds might be scant enough for the path to still be useable. Any info would be helpful! </p>
