Wouldn't be many cyclists out then? Imagine @gembo or @bill might have considered.<br /> Writing on warm and fast train back from Glasgow after early Celtic Connections concert. Couple of bikes on board. Not ours though! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20840#post-358332 Sun, 06 Feb 2022 18:38:57 +0000 vladimpala 358332@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A grim ride round the Pentlands today - Type III fun for sure.<br /> Lot's of grim stars aligned - head winds, snow showers that merged into proper snow (white roads and everything), oodles of slush, surface water and road wide puddles hiding some wicked potholes.<br /> Stopped at AP for a (delicious) paradise slice which refused to enliven my performance, instead it sat in the pit of my stomach making me feel queasy for the entire ride back.<br /> And then, the icing on the cake, a mechanical left me in the little ring from West Linton to home.<br /> Hurrumph. </p>
