We couldn't have done it without you.</p> <p>Next year we'll need more flags.</p> <p>It was great to join up with the West Edinburgh Feeder Ride at Leamington Bridge. Perfect timing! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16267#post-217532 Sat, 23 Apr 2016 08:50:40 +0000 Greenroofer 217532@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>We've certainly got the weather for it. Just been for a quick pootle along the Feeder Ride route to check no horrors and to add some direction arrows (until I ran out of chalk) and it was absolutely lovely outside. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16267#post-217526 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 23:58:20 +0000 daisydaisy 217526@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I saw the flags on twitter. Will set my alarm early to get my hands on one! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16267#post-217522 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 22:55:09 +0000 Greenroofer 217522@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@daisydaisy No worries at all. See you tomorrow :-)</p> <p>Turn up early if you want a flag: the HP Feeder Ride flags are the subject of much envy on Twitter right now and are likely to become collectors' items... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16267#post-217519 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 22:20:44 +0000 daisydaisy 217519@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi @GreenRoofer, I'll be there at the park tomorrow.

However there are 3 sets of regular lights and a roundabout between HP and the Kings. Mr Greenroofer and I have been discussing the best strategy, but discussions are inconclusive thus far.</p> <p>If the Roseburn ride joining up with the HP one? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16267#post-217444 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 12:27:25 +0000 HankChief 217444@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Planning to do my recce of the route tonight.</p> <p>Anyone know anything about temporary traffic lights on Gilmore Place?</p> <p>@arobcomp - can I pick up a couple of tabard for the West Edin Feeder tonight? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16267#post-217321 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 09:01:23 +0000 ARobComp 217321@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just spotted this. </p> <p>Any marshals wanting to do this can!

However we should be at the Meadows by 1130, so I don't see why you couldn't do both. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16267#post-216730 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 09:10:55 +0000 fimm 216730@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Piffle.<br /> I can't really do both, can I?<br /> Where do people reckon I'm needed most? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16267#post-216702 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 20:28:28 +0000 Greenroofer 216702@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Prompted by fimm's observation on <a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16260#post-216679">the other thread</a> that she'd not heard from the Harrison Park Feeder Ride people...</p> <p>So I'm organising the Harrison Park Feeder Ride again and would be really grateful for some marshals to help with that. I've contacted the Council, the Police and the Parks Department and have a piece of paper that says we are an official 'Parade' and we have official permission to use Harrison Park. The Police have committed to give it the 'necessary attention', but in my discussions with them so far they are a little vague about what that will be.</p> <p>What they have said is that they will, at least, have someone at the King's Theatre to get us across that junction. I've asked that we have two bike cops to come with us the whole way (like in 2013) but they are still thinking about that.</p> <p>Anyway, I do need some marshals to help with the ride. If we're making our own way from HP to the King's, it would be good to have some charmingly assertive smiley people to take over the Polwarth Roundabout to get everyone across in short order and to help keep things moving smoothly.</p> <p>Can you help? </p>
