To achieve that, Wilcox will have to cover an average of 164 miles a day for the next 81 days and expects to be in the saddle for between 12 and 14 hours at a stretch. “Every day is like a marathon,” she says, “and then I go to sleep and do it all again.” </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/article/2024/jul/21/lael-wilcox-interview-cyclist-circumnavigate-globe" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/article/2024/jul/21/lael-wilcox-interview-cyclist-circumnavigate-globe</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21286#post-367696 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 14:08:21 +0000 gembo 367696@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Shame I liked Nashy’s </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21286#post-367693 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 12:51:12 +0000 bill 367693@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo Nashy's in Cardrona is no more. Maybe if someone didn't make that waitress cry... anyway, they have a small takeaway place in Inners now but I haven't tried it as there are other nice options in Inners. Turns out Inners has far more (and cheaper) accommodation options than Peebles but I didn't think that running back to Inners at 9-10pm would be fun for MrBill! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21286#post-367689 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 12:28:25 +0000 gembo 367689@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>coco black is good. Mrs Gembo says is quite nice but doesn’t stock her favourite she calls Violent Creams (violet creams). I thought it was a tiny bit up itself but generally good.</p> <p>Ah yes, Inners to Peebles is a nice path to run. Could even stop at Nashy’s </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21286#post-367688 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 12:19:49 +0000 bill 367688@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo i heard it was (mostly) open. Maybe fully open now. Last I heard was that two bridges were still not open but you could walk around. I was going suggest to Mr Bill to go for a run along the path. Or to Inners. </p> <p>Too much running on busy roads from Biggar. </p> <p>I have Coco-Black on the list as well. It will be new experience after the usual BP garage. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21286#post-367687 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 12:07:30 +0000 gembo 367687@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Mr Bill could catch his favoured 101 to Biggar and run to Peebles as the community has saved it or just catch the 62 all the way. Check out Milne and Pickles the Cheese and Wine shop it is great. Also see if the feckin cycle path has ever opened.

We decided to stay overnight as the talk is at 7.30pm. Apparently out hotel gives us a pass to Peebles hydro so any recommendations of the facilities to use are very welcome!</p> <p>Very much looking forward to it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21286#post-367584 Mon, 17 Apr 2023 09:51:41 +0000 paddyirish 367584@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can't make any of the tour days, but have ordered the book. Very much looking forward to reading it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21286#post-367546 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 15:19:29 +0000 chdot 367546@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52816772646_10af7b2e11_c.jpg"></p> <p><a href="https://jenny-graham.com/book-tour-2/" rel="nofollow">https://jenny-graham.com/book-tour-2/</a> </p>
