Lots of Uni staff now off too, since we can't take holidays during term-time. And of course, lots of parents who cycle to work presumably taking holidays with their school-age kids. So, yes, probably there is a school holiday/Uni vacation effect. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3402#post-35670 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 10:36:42 +0000 Min 35670@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Yeah, those Surlys really are a bit poncey aren't they? ;)"</p> <p>Well one can't take them out in the <em>rain</em> :-o</p> <p>Lovely morning for it. Strangely there seemed to be less cyclists around that normal I thought.

See you all there next time! :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3402#post-35562 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 12:36:41 +0000 chdot 35562@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>For anyone not sure where it is -</p> <p><a href="http://edinburgh.cyclestreets.net/journey/to/55.943569,-3.191671/PY" rel="nofollow">http://edinburgh.cyclestreets.net/journey/to/55.943569,-3.191671/PY</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3402#post-35560 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 12:01:36 +0000 retrodirect 35560@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah, I'll come along to py, why not. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3402#post-35534 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 06:27:39 +0000 Smudge 35534@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Humph, I may have to come along just to get a cinammon and caffeine morale boost.

Got an eye pavilion appointment in the morning. Although... Haha! Thought it was earlier than that - tis 9.20, and just round the corner from PY, so I can hang about longer than normal! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3402#post-35437 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 10:25:55 +0000 Min 35437@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"If it's not dry will it just not be annoying"</p> <p>Hehehe.</p> <p>Friday would be fine for me. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3402#post-35421 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 10:06:40 +0000 SRD 35421@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm going for drinks at the Pear tree from 5, so probably can't wangle an early morning as well. But if anyone wants to stop by for drinks, please do, several of us planning to be there are bikey people, including the Brompton rider who has occasionally appeared in the cycle chic thread. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3402#post-35420 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 10:02:25 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 35420@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>No 'guards, so it's a dry-weather pampered soul at the moment. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3402#post-35419 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 09:59:55 +0000 wingpig 35419@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If it's not dry will it just not be annoying or are you only taking it out in the dry at the moment?</p> <p>I shall be 300 miles away trying vainly to achieve decent coffee with a cafetière as steam technology has not yet reached my parents' kitchen. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3402#post-35418 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 09:55:03 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 35418@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I <em>was</em> going to organise something for tomorrow, then someone kindly scheduled an 8.30 meeting. Thursday's 9.30 meeting isn't much better, so anyone fancy a coffee on Friday morning?</p> <p>And yes, if it's dry I shall be terribly annoyingly showing off the new bike (took it in today, couldn't resist). </p>
