I'm sure if you were to suggest one then the Mohammeds will come to the coffee mountain.</p> <p>Also, if it's not pre-work there's the potential to have a pre/post ride. A pothole / fallen tree inspection perhaps. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2050#post-21782 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 13:28:46 +0000 Numptie 21782@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I can never make these early morning meets.
