Supposedly will fix my panniers. I think not.</p> <p>As was using the WoL Path I wore a tweed helmet instead of a foam one. My Gilbert o'sullivan bunnet felt good, had skip for rain/sun and went with my sturmey three speed.</p> <p>WoL path improvements continuing. The very bumpy bits around juniper green being filled with red chuckies </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10039#post-108905 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 09:27:45 +0000 cc 108905@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I would have loved this but sadly have a prior engagement. It's probably just as well as I am devoid of lycra and would have cut your potential distance dramatically. Enjoy the endorphins and sunshine and cakes! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10039#post-108903 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 08:56:57 +0000 Roibeard 108903@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I would have fancied joining you, but I'll be standing near Tollcross ScotMid in a drysuit, mask and fins.</p> <p>I'm available for pointing and laughing from 10:30-15:00.</p> <p>It's for the RNLI, so feel free to spin by on your route, take some photos and throw something into the lifeboat.</p> <p>Oh, and sorry to disappoint, but I'm not going to attempt cycling in the outfit!</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10039#post-108902 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 08:47:48 +0000 Smudge 108902@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Going by recent threads you should be ok if the tweed is in the form of a skirt though.. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10039#post-108899 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 08:28:52 +0000 gembo 108899@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Tweed can chafe and if not addressed can turn into a nasty weal, which if not given salve can turn gangrenous. Looks good tho. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10039#post-108876 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 21:38:57 +0000 Uberuce 108876@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I recently tried that cycle-chic thing for a medium ride and was chafed to unpleasantness. Lycra too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10039#post-108875 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 21:35:37 +0000 Darkerside 108875@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'll be in lycra. Although that doesn't actually imply anything about the intended distance.</p> <p>*spang* </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10039#post-108873 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 21:28:02 +0000 Uberuce 108873@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd imagine we'll go for the time-honoured formula of headwind-&gt;cafe-&gt;tailwind, and I intend to ride my fixie, so I'll lobby hard against silly amounts of hills, but let's see about getting a good few dozen miles in? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10039#post-108862 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 20:57:20 +0000 Darkerside 108862@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There will be a ride tomorrow. Of some sort.</p> <p>Departing from the Laid Back emporium of dreams. Uberuce has promised to bring a variety of maps, whereas I shall bring a vast appetite for the cakes sold in the cafe next door.</p> <p>I'll be there from midday-ish. If you want to join in let me know and we'll adjust timing to suit. Route can be flexible to the desires/capabilities of participants. </p>
