Slightly bothered about the prospect of riding home at somewhat silly o'clock in the evening and then having to get up early to battle the pre-rush hour rush hour caused by everyone trying to get onto the bypass at Straiton because the A703 is still closed (to motors).</p> <p>Met up with Tulyar instead, had dinner, got back into Edinburgh at 8.51pm and rode home in the drizzle. The Brompton's not too inefficient it turns out, the wee Marathons roll better than I expected, though it still took 45 minutes. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19229&page=4#post-296266 Fri, 23 Nov 2018 08:07:48 +0000 gembo 296266@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Almost no traffic at all heading west, one or two taxis. The Spylaw has a lot of carpet but not as much as Oblomov's used to have on their tables. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19229&page=4#post-296265 Fri, 23 Nov 2018 01:26:06 +0000 unhurt 296265@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My ride home was dogger-free.

Trying to get across Edinburgh west to east. Not easy.</p> <p>The rain striated in my full beam. Must be flickering at heart.</p> <p>Doggers all parked up on Braid Hills Drive. 'You are very strange.' I muttered to one as he shifted driver's to passenger side. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19229&page=4#post-296263 Fri, 23 Nov 2018 00:40:44 +0000 ARobComp 296263@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>After late train and a quick ride across town I arrived just in time to watch IWRATS and unhurt put on their coats, and to watch their stuff while they popped to the loo. </p> <p>Lovely to see them anyway!
