I do hope the spectators on Redstone Rigg will wait there to cheer us audaxers on (they may need a picnic or two). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17980#post-258082 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 08:53:36 +0000 fimm 258082@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>We are talking about going out to Redstone Rigg to watch them go up there, which is what we did last time.<br /> We're not exactly target audience for the City Ride... ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17980#post-258033 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 18:41:14 +0000 Kim 258033@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So who is going to watch the race before enjoying a closed road ride? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17980#post-257999 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 15:08:57 +0000 Kim 257999@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Starts on the High Street outside St Giles’ Cathedral, then up the Lawn Market, to Johnston Terrace following the City Ride above. All the way round, so that they do one and a half circuits of the Old Town, after passing the Meadows for the second time they carry on up Bernards Terr, right on to St Leonard's St, left at the Scottish Widows, down into Holyrood Park, out to Duddingston where they pick up the 1A and so on out of town...</p> <p>Note the race starts at 10:30 from the High St and the City Ride at 11:00 from the Meadows </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17980#post-257388 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 20:53:10 +0000 recombodna 257388@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Why does all this have to happen on the same weekend as the Bealach?

From what I've heard it's a much lower key start event than last time? Not sure if clashing with Tour of the Borders has anything to do with it or not?</p> <p><a href="http://www.tourofbritain.co.uk/stages/stage-one/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tourofbritain.co.uk/stages/stage-one/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17980#post-256446 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 18:01:22 +0000 gembo 256446@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@ps, red eye whisky for the pain </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17980#post-256445 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 17:44:07 +0000 crowriver 256445@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone know where the start will be?
