A van with flashing lights wanted to overtake but I made it undertake as I feared one strong gust would push me against the rail and over into the forth.</p> <p>Then on land the wind wasn't too bad. I also expected rain as the beeb forcast it from about 05.00 so a dry run in was very welcomed. Hope its still dry (or blown over) by the time I head for home. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4798#post-53504 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:52:14 +0000 amir 53504@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's like Blankety Blank!

So nice that I didn't mind it when my Gatorskins Hardshells finally gave into the fairy. However, it was a bit annoying when a dog p**d on my bag. And it would have been nice if one of the several cyclists that passed me (on the Innocent) had acknowledged my presence (I am a country boy).</p> <p>Hope it's still warm for the return. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4798#post-51140 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 23:55:26 +0000 DaveC 51140@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yay works for my Samsung GSII </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4798#post-51139 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 23:51:51 +0000 chdot 51139@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Hold down the home button and then press the on/off button."</p> <p>That's the IPhone way - but seems not for all Android soft/hardware. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4798#post-51138 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 23:47:50 +0000 Cyclingmollie 51138@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>DaveC: <em>"Hey Tom, How did you get the screen grab of the Android screen?"</em></p> <p>Hold down the home button and then press the on/off button. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4798#post-51137 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 23:39:34 +0000 chdot 51137@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"What wonderful weather we're having!"</p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7006/6556229249_91b9f64f9b.jpg"> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4798#post-51135 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 23:15:15 +0000 DaveC 51135@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hey Tom, How did you get the screen grab of the Android screen?</p> <p>Too windy for me this morning, took the bus, and now I've brought my towel home for a Christmas wash I have no way to dry myself if I cycle in tomorrow. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4798#post-51133 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 23:10:19 +0000 alanr 51133@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Fantastic weather, rain or not! Running down the Lanark Road at 30-something, in still air, with the wind behind me! Coming back up the hill tonight, the wind - plenty of it - was cool, not freezing. Clothing both ways, cycle shorts, hi-viz jacket over a t-shirt. Usually I have to really push it to keep warm but tonight I could just pootle along. What wonderful weather we're having! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4798#post-51115 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:50:41 +0000 crowriver 51115@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Actually I felt a few drops of moisture descend around 5pm, more of a mist like substance than rain. Or maybe I just imagined it, as it soon disappeared. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4798#post-51088 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 15:15:05 +0000 amir 51088@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"It's like a Scottish summer out there!
