Leaving just after 11.30 should get us to the meadows by 12 (took me 8 minutes this morning when I thought I was running late). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12648#post-150100 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 09:38:28 +0000 chdot 150100@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><strong>AMENDED</p> <p>11:30 start to arrive at Meadows for 12:00 silence</strong></p> <p><a href="http://pedalonparliament.org/day-schedule" rel="nofollow">http://pedalonparliament.org/day-schedule</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12648#post-150097 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 09:29:28 +0000 i 150097@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If we don't need a leader for the KB route, I'll do the Musselburgh route. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12648#post-150095 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 09:01:16 +0000 chdot 150095@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If anyone wants to 'take charge' (with others) on the day, I'm sure that would be appreciated. </p> <p>Partly depends how many people turn up. </p> <p>If it's half a dozen no real problem about keeping together. </p> <p>If about 50, needs whoever is at front to make sure ride doesn't go fast so that people 'fall off' the back. </p> <p>More than 100 (unlikely unless lots of Sciennes people decide to start from there), 'outriders' a good idea - also need to agree if front group waits for others if there is a split due to traffic lights. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12648#post-150094 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 09:00:16 +0000 i 150094@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If I was to lead from KB then I'll need to lead at an earlier time, I.E get to POP around 11.30 at least. </p> <p>I'm doing some people counting... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12648#post-150093 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:53:04 +0000 sallyhinch 150093@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Happy to put this up on the site if it's a goer.
