For instance, of late I've adopted a flashing cherry bomb on seat post with constant two light Decathlon LED below and to right of cherry bomb. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13964#post-172876 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 09:44:51 +0000 amir 172876@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@DrAfternoon it's hard to make out anyone in the dark but two of us were lurking next to the gate from about 6.10 to 6.20 ish. I think you'd recognise me (if you could see me).</p> <p>@PS it was strange weather - I am sure the forecast said it'd be dry but I was quite wet by the time I got home. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13964#post-172872 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 01:20:21 +0000 DrAfternoon 172872@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I made it out, but my back light died, and only got a couple of laps in. Probably did see some CCE folk, very hard to tell in the dark. Need a secret light flash. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13964#post-172845 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 22:03:04 +0000 LaidBack 172845@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looks like a new fixture for hill enthusiasts! (the day - not Arthur's Seat as it seems to be permanent)<br /> Will do a lap soon. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13964#post-172838 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 21:08:34 +0000 PS 172838@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Started raining just as I left the house... Hurray for 'guards!</p> <p>Two guys came and went while I waited for a couple of minutes at the gate. Didn't recognise either, but spent the rest of the four laps I did wondering if it was some CCE'ers whom I didn't recognise in the dark with bright lights shining in my face... :)</p> <p>It was dry by the time I finished. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13964#post-172827 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 20:34:53 +0000 amir 172827@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well that was good if a little damp. One of the few times I've been on the Seat without wind (fnaar). Twice round with JacksonPriest, who is as sprightly as ever going up hill. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13964#post-172790 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 16:13:49 +0000 amir 172790@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@DrAfternoon wonderful - see you there</p> <p>@PS hopefully you too</p> <p>@everyone else - hopefully we can keep this up over the winter.

I'm currently in Glasgow so unlikely to make it for 6.15, but will keep an eye out for any CCE'ers when I do get there.
