Heheheh. Let me correct that, as I really need to get my eyes tested (or stop reading forums when I should be asleep in bed). I joined 7 years ago in 2009. (My eyes saw the 9 in 2009 and somehow my brain then rearranged that into joining 9 years ago). chdot on "What was your first CCE post?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18287&page=3#post-264948 Sun, 29 Oct 2017 23:48:02 +0000 chdot 264948@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ "Although I joined 9 years ago" <a href="https://youtu.be/us3dQ0nnlHY" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/us3dQ0nnlHY</a> threefromleith on "What was your first CCE post?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18287&page=3#post-264946 Sun, 29 Oct 2017 23:40:15 +0000 threefromleith 264946@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Although I joined 9 years ago, <a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=237#post-1826">my first post</a> seems to have ben 7 years ago on a thread about uncleared paths.

Useful reminder that one key reason for the success of CCE was that there were lists of people that we thought might be interested in ‘CCE’. I’m not pretending that I had any idea how things would develop! gembo on "What was your first CCE post?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18287&page=3#post-264853 Sat, 28 Oct 2017 20:34:01 +0000 gembo 264853@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ @grenroofer, indeed, the kingsnowe rat was running along in front of jdanielp the other night. I have a colleague wh stays in the flats with the wall tiles at meggetland, next to the canal. Sh was asking me if I thought the kingsnowe rat would bother her. I said, how many flights up is your flat? She Said three so I said sh would be OK. Alas she then wanted guarantee she could walk the towpath then down to slateford station without meeting the kingsknowe rat. I was not able to give that guarantee. The nursing home seems to have ground to a standstill. In other news careful everyone on wol path. Lots of maintenance ongoing, lot of fences in middle of path, starting just after the footbridge right up to colinton. Then in a separate issue,mthe crazy new town of houses Cala have built in the floodplain at kinleith also have protruding fence work to keep us from the building site Greenroofer on "What was your first CCE post?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18287&page=3#post-264852 Sat, 28 Oct 2017 20:30:42 +0000 Greenroofer 264852@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ My first post was <a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=315#post-2426">this</a>, about the Kingsknowe Rat. Interestingly (well, a little bit interestingly), it's a different wildlife thread to the one that we conventionally use now. The Kingsknowe Rat is still going strong. I encountered him/her last week out towards Wester Hailes. gembo on "What was your first CCE post?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18287&page=3#post-264850 Sat, 28 Oct 2017 20:27:25 +0000 gembo 264850@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ @hankchief, I liked your instructions and thank you warmly for them. I have no desire for version 2 instructions, I am merely passing the time pleasantly until the ten 17 year olds having a gathering in my front room give me my house back. In other news we are going to cupcakes tomorrow,me think it was rider 73 who was looking for Bathgate Alps coffee stop, maybe we will see the duranos.

Organising the cycle on Roseburn?" This is where the there is potential for pedanticism. It's a fine (and indefinable) line between 'organised by CCE' and 'organised by people who post here' - which obviously invites others to help/take part. Perhaps a finer 15 minutes or so was the event at the West End organised by *no-one*, certainly not "by CCE". It passed off with great dignity and suitable respect attended by a noticeable number of CCEers - and many others. chdot on "What was your first CCE post?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18287&page=2#post-264828 Sat, 28 Oct 2017 17:27:56 +0000 chdot 264828@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ "In other Classic CCE bitching" NOT CCE's finest day.
