Are you in Harrison Park then? Maybe a trip along the canal while I'm still getting to grips with it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2160#post-22956 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 12:07:16 +0000 SRD 22956@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nice to meet you! We'll have to make a plan - how does Harrison Park to Cramond sound? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2160#post-22913 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 22:55:56 +0000 LJB 22913@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hello SRD<br /> I am your spotter. Would love to go on a club ride.<br /> LJB </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2160#post-22741 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 14:10:56 +0000 kaputnik 22741@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks for the link SRD, we used to go to Islay twice a year on holidays untuil I was about 15 or 16 and haven't been back in a few years. I'm going there on the bike this spring as part of my "11 (and counting) malts" touring route.</p> <p>Regarding Obree's fluorescent pink bike (picture, page 3), Cycling Weekly went for a ride around Ayrshire with him and reviewed it. Custom built time-trial-track-road hybrid thing with a unique riding position incorporting super-narrow bars that probably only Obree could ever think up and his usual gigantic chainrings. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2160#post-22738 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 14:01:31 +0000 SRD 22738@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was 'spotted' today out on the new Helios, not by someone who wanted to know where I got it, but by someone who already has one! Maybe we should have a club or group rides? </p> <p>Thought others might also find <a href="http://magazine.bikeradar.com/2010/11/24/make-mine-a-double/">this article/review</a> about two blokes riding a Helios on Islay with (inter alia) Graham Obree interesting. </p>
