Soon many situations are considered too scary, when in fact they are simply exhilarating and unknown. Fear becomes a go-to feminine trait, something girls are expected to feel and express at will. By the time a girl reaches her tweens no one bats an eye when she screams at the sight of an insect."</em> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17399#post-241961 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 21:15:06 +0000 HankChief 241961@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Another one...</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/RFQZKo"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/347/32612384616_ddd70c4b7d.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/RFQZKo">Kayak challenge</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91842878@N03/">HankChief</a>, on Flickr </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17399#post-241930 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 08:01:56 +0000 gembo 241930@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Our bike club has plans to attempt something similar, but as yet only plans. Being organised by sometime cyclist in the club (we have many armchair members). I am keen to go.nunlike the Belgium trip which I fear will have too much drinking and not enough cycling for me. Not against drinking just can't cycle much the next day after anything more than a few shanties these days.</p> <p>My son's pal might fit the bill. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17399#post-241929 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 23:59:15 +0000 crowriver 241929@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looks great. Likewise a pity my kids are not older, reckon my son would be up for it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17399#post-241927 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 22:45:56 +0000 HankChief 241927@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks @themightysimmonite</p> <p>It sounds like a great trip. I just wish I was a younger or my kids older...</p> <p>(I'm still trying to convince Mrs HC to let me take the Chieflets to do the 5 ferries route, but that may have to wait until they are a bit bigger)</p> <p>Bangholm is a great facility - I saw it in action during the Family Bike Curious event last year (I brought most of the contents of my garage!)</p> <p>I'll drop you a note about LEL :-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17399#post-241924 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 22:33:32 +0000 themightysimmonite 241924@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hank<br /> This event is being supported by the Bangholm Outdoor Centre a CEC facility near the 5 ways junction on the NEPN. i'll be going on the ride as bike guide/mechanic.<br /> Any support you can give us to find suitable young people would be much appreciated.<br /> Bangholm is also home to the.
