Was rooting for Glenn in that one though as it wore on, I was more rooting for The Exit). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19193#post-293726 Thu, 18 Oct 2018 14:11:47 +0000 paddyirish 293726@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@DaveC</p> <p>A Monday night - Bugg3r. Minipaddy at said cubs and Mrs Paddy doing pottery. Paddy has to stay at home :-( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19193#post-293722 Thu, 18 Oct 2018 13:59:13 +0000 DaveC 293722@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd love to go but have Cubs that evening and can't really get out if that particular night. But speaking of mental people, I have met another long distance lady cyclist and she did seem a little bonkers, in one of those *bunny boiling ways... </p> <p><strong>*</strong> -<em> not wishing to be sexist here, I'm sure most obsesive endurance people regardles of sex are a little mental!</em> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19193#post-293707 Thu, 18 Oct 2018 11:59:33 +0000 paddyirish 293707@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes, I may have been at that talk too - Edfoc a couple of years back with Ian Fitz and Kasja Tylen.</p> <p>Have followed her adventures since, read her book on the Baltic Sea Cycle. She's currently in Bolivia on the third of her Mountain range series (did the Atlas last year).</p> <p>JT has done very well carving out a career in what she does and I hope she can sustain it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19193#post-293706 Thu, 18 Oct 2018 11:53:09 +0000 unhurt 293706@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Seen JT talk about that run. Amazing images - suspect she's a mentalist, mind! There was a whole bit about accidentally having to climb up a cliff without a rope that gave me the heebie-jeebies. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19193#post-293705 Thu, 18 Oct 2018 11:48:35 +0000 paddyirish 293705@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm really tempted and will see if I can get a pass.</p> <p>Dotwatched the event and thought it was amazing. Jenny Tough was the only solo woman to finish and Lee Craigie was in the top 5 overall for the first third of the race, even though she was ill. Would love to see what she could have done healthy.</p> <p>Have you seen Jenny Tough's videos from her run in Kyrgystan a couple of years back? They were spectacular too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19193#post-293703 Thu, 18 Oct 2018 11:40:16 +0000 unhurt 293703@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone else going to this? The pictures Lee Craigie posted on Facebook during made me desperately want to go to Kyrgyzstan</p> <p><a href="https://edfoc.org.uk/events/tales-from-the-silk-road/" rel="nofollow">https://edfoc.org.uk/events/tales-from-the-silk-road/</a> </p>
