I love pootling around back roads in the middle of the night on my bike. The night vibe fits well with me. I'm lucky to live far enough out of Edinburgh that the sky on a good night is pretty clear. I can just make out the Andromeda galaxy with the naked eye. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17400#post-242064 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 10:52:40 +0000 amir 242064@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The sun! Always a highlight up here. Especially in the day.</p> <p>Last night I went for a wee night ride with cyclingmollie into deepest East Lothian. The night sky there was brilliant, despite patchy cloud. The Trump-coloured glow from Edinburgh gave false hope of northern lights. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17400#post-241987 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 07:22:16 +0000 nobrakes 241987@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Twas a beautiful evening. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17400#post-241978 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 23:55:04 +0000 Arellcat 241978@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>No meteors, but plenty of stars earlier this evening:</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/RFZge3"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/413/32613997576_e677ede9bc.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="https://flic.kr/p/RFZge3">Astronomie du jour</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17400#post-241965 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 22:06:14 +0000 nobrakes 241965@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Saw a super bright, fairly slow moving meteor burning up over North Middleton tonight, a real beauty. </p>
