Can highly recommend the Whistlestop on Innerleithen. Very cyclist friendly and the girl from the café magically appeared with some locks for us when we arrived. Brilliant warm scones.</p> <p>The event organiser took a short clip at the top of the climb (where I had heard the Skylarks singing as I waited), mainly to illustrate the complete lack of wind up there;</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8vXDEr4GE4" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8vXDEr4GE4</a></p> <p>You can check my Assos out! </p> <p>His closing comment of "it's now 10 miles down hill" was a bit optimistic as if we'd stopped pedalling the wind would have blown us back up the way. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2453#post-26028 Sun, 06 Mar 2011 21:43:10 +0000 kaputnik 26028@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>there may have been some extra incentive for me signing up to be a ride leader for this event... Glad that the rumours turned out to be true! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2453#post-26027 Sun, 06 Mar 2011 21:33:38 +0000 chdot 26027@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> Hi there,<br />  <br /> We thought this may be of interest to your membership?<br />  <br /> We have a charity event in Edinburgh to raise funds for “The Sick Kids Hospital “  and have Graeme Obree joining us on the cycle but also as one of our speakers at the evening event in the Balmoral in the evening and wondered if one or two of your membership might be interested in taking part on Friday 1st of April 2011?<br />  <br /> Our Website <a href="http://www.crewscotland.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.crewscotland.com</a></p> <p>Cycle, Run, Eat, Walk.<br />  </p> <p>Should this be of interest please contact me at your earliest convenience for more information.<br />  <br /> Regards</p> <p>Andrew Bisset<br /> 07824 498201<br /> <a href="mailto:abisset@cisco.com">abisset@cisco.com</a><br />  <br />  " </p>
