I wish I personally could do more of the ground work, but being on the right side (ahem) of Scotland, and being absolutely snowed under with work means that I limited in what I can do. The POP team are amazing, as are you guys.<br /> Hope to see some of you tomorrow.....although I hope it is too busy to see you... :-)</p> <p>Dave </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10119&page=5#post-111017 Sat, 18 May 2013 12:22:18 +0000 chdot 111017@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Glasgow and Harrison Park. </p> <p>And a few other places -</p> <p><a href="http://pedalonparliament.org/the-route/getting-there" rel="nofollow">http://pedalonparliament.org/the-route/getting-there</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10119&page=5#post-111016 Sat, 18 May 2013 12:21:43 +0000 SRD 111016@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>there's a group leaving from 5 ways/Craigleith and Greasemonkey will be leaving from Roseburn. or did you mean more west than that? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10119&page=5#post-111015 Sat, 18 May 2013 12:18:52 +0000 Rosie 111015@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Are there any feeder rides from the west? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10119&page=5#post-111010 Sat, 18 May 2013 10:11:03 +0000 chdot 111010@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/8749125339/"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8557/8749125339_ff62c79101.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/8749125339/">Some sun slippage (apparently)</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10119&page=5#post-110997 Sat, 18 May 2013 00:53:25 +0000 chdot 110997@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/8749506338/"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8395/8749506338_24cc25f092.jpg"></a></p> <p><a href="http://m.yr.no/place/United_Kingdom/Scotland/Edinburgh/hour_by_hour_tomorrow.html" rel="nofollow">http://m.yr.no/place/United_Kingdom/Scotland/Edinburgh/hour_by_hour_tomorrow.html</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10119&page=5#post-110992 Fri, 17 May 2013 22:43:25 +0000 chdot 110992@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<em>Take tea at three</em>" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10119&page=5#post-110990 Fri, 17 May 2013 22:38:53 +0000 steveo 110990@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>If it's 5,000 they'll need feeding...</em></p> <p>you'll have had your tea... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10119&page=5#post-110988 Fri, 17 May 2013 22:30:43 +0000 chdot 110988@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/8749055480/"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8120/8749055480_6bfc493230.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/8749055480/">Who knows!</a> </p> <p><a href="http://m.yr.no/place/United_Kingdom/Scotland/Edinburgh/long.html" rel="nofollow">http://m.yr.no/place/United_Kingdom/Scotland/Edinburgh/long.html</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10119&page=5#post-110985 Fri, 17 May 2013 22:18:27 +0000 sallyhinch 110985@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think SRD posted this but it probably have got lost in all the other stuff - someone has offered us his hedge to put a banner up right on the Drylaw / Queensferry path.
