Unfortunately this revelation was visited on me whilst overtaking a truck on the M9... So this morning I have had a trip in a nice AA truck and made it to work about 1 1/2 hours late without my planned coffee and cinnamon intake :-(<br /> At least it makes for a short day I suppose :-/ </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3646&page=3#post-38677 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 12:00:09 +0000 wingpig 38677@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I know a cycling-woman who eats at PY who exhibits a characteristic combination of those parameters. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3646&page=3#post-38669 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 11:50:38 +0000 chdot 38669@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"What sort of age and height was she?"</p> <p>Have we got restrictions?! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3646&page=3#post-38668 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 11:49:07 +0000 wingpig 38668@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What sort of age and height was she? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3646&page=3#post-38667 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 11:45:25 +0000 chdot 38667@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Next time we have to coerce her in to the forum!!!"</p> <p>What sort of bun was she eating? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3646&page=3#post-38665 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 11:42:59 +0000 Nelly 38665@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Also, another lady cyclist sat at a PY table outside first thing, I asked if she was part of the citycyclingedinburgh gathering since I knew a few new people were expected, but she wasn't.

I ended up spending an hour and a half there. It was idyllic except for the noise of the huge diesel engine periodically roaring away beside us (the Quartermile window cleaner appeared with a sort of telescopic monster Thunderbirds spider tractor, remote controlled too).<br /> If I was giving anyone strange looks it was probably because I couldn't hear what you were saying!<br /> And now I've had my first cardamom bun, too. Mmmmm.<br /> I was dead impressed by those on their way out to the Gyle or further. I just had another hundred yards to go - I felt like such a fraud :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3646&page=2#post-38612 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 09:14:15 +0000 steveo 38612@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>0715 the baby was still asleep therefore I was still asleep.
