We'd be up for a family ride another day when it's a bit warmer/drier. Maybe a weekend would be good too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2259#post-24208 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 14:16:08 +0000 SRD 24208@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Collective decision has been taken not to drag kids out in the rain!

We'll bring a flask of tea, some biccies, and basic first aid kit (we'll have trailer in addition to tandem). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2259#post-24117 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 18:56:00 +0000 recombodna 24117@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd be up for this but I've got to take a child to the doctors at 4.40pm .... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2259#post-24116 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 18:52:26 +0000 SRD 24116@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Want to come with us? I rode this route last summer but Andy from Storybikes was leading and I didn't pay much attention to the route! (also can't seem to replicate his route using cyclestreets...) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2259#post-24044 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 11:35:25 +0000 chdot 24044@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Spylaw park is a great destination.</p> <p>I used to organise annual rides there from Sciennes and Bruntsfield Primaries for parents, teachers and children.</p> <p>3-4 miles each way - with children as young as 5 on their own bikes</p> <p>"<br /> <a href="http://www.sol.co.uk/s/sciennes/old/sr2s/scspylaw.htm">Comment from one father - "best family day out we've had for ages - thanks"</a></p> <p>" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2259#post-23922 Mon, 14 Feb 2011 14:23:03 +0000 SRD 23922@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Would anyone else like to join a half-term family ride? We're meeting at 3pm on Wednesday 16th, at Harrison Park near the Harrison Road bridge. We'll probably cycle along the canal to a playground or to Spylaw park. Tandems, tag-alongs, trailers and self-propelling children particularly welcome. </p>
