Much was that?</p> <p>The Waverley PS the world’s last ocean going paddle steamer (currently laid up after getting fixed after two years in dry dock and then on first voyage out smacking into Brodick Pier) </p> <p>Used to sail out that away. Very pleasant,</p> <p>Once on the rock, there is the lighthouse, the curling stone quarry and the birds. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20441#post-342450 Mon, 21 Dec 2020 10:14:04 +0000 I were right about that saddle 342450@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@bill</p> <p>I have known Ingress players and it did them the world of good. They were very much indoor geeks and that game got them moving outdoors and they loved it. Even considered getting leccy bikes.</p> <p>Boat to Ailsa Craig sounds hardcore. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20441#post-342449 Mon, 21 Dec 2020 09:50:08 +0000 bill 342449@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>You want Bill scuttling round graveyards at night in a quest to vanquish 50 year-old Swedish men on the internet?</em></p> <p>@IWARTS Haha! Bill Harriman (aka BigHairyMan) has done its fare share of scuttling round graveyards in their Ingress days battling some other people on the internet. How many times have you got locked out at Dean's cemetery? Have you hired a boat to Ailsa Craig on a choppy December day? Have you walked 50km through the Blue Mountains to get to a remote site? :)<br /> These days I definitely prefer just cycling about and not worrying about some imaginary points! But similar to Pokemon Go and such, if it gets people out then that's a good thing.</p> <p>@gembo I counted 118. I added Szechuan pepper this year and they are good! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20441#post-342444 Sun, 20 Dec 2020 23:29:06 +0000 gembo 342444@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bill has switched to making 1000000s of gingerbreads to break the world record for that </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20441#post-342435 Sun, 20 Dec 2020 19:15:31 +0000 crowriver 342435@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dunno about this Turf malarkey, but I'm quite liking the idea of cycling around the place in the dead of night. Could be the perfect antidote to lockdown cabin fever... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20441#post-342433 Sun, 20 Dec 2020 19:09:06 +0000 I were right about that saddle 342433@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You want Bill scuttling round graveyards at night in a quest to vanquish 50 year-old Swedish men on the internet? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20441#post-342432 Sun, 20 Dec 2020 19:02:04 +0000 gembo 342432@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Fear not Bill will win this for the world </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20441#post-342431 Sun, 20 Dec 2020 18:46:22 +0000 I were right about that saddle 342431@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>It was originally aimed at children, but has instead been mainly adopted by adults in their 40s and 50s.</em></p> <p>Not again? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20441#post-342425 Sun, 20 Dec 2020 16:07:38 +0000 chdot 342425@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“Is there such a thing as too much cycling?“</p> <p>Perhaps </p> <p>“</p> <p>"I never gave up.

Involves going into graveyards late at night and being chased by dogs not on leads. </p> <p>Edinburgh retired homemaker turned 10 hour a day cyclist Leonee Hutchison is second in entire world (most other players in Nordic lands) and will stay second if she cycles ten hours on Xmas day. </p>
