It's where the SESTRANS Megacycle finished last May. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5154#post-55018 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:03:55 +0000 chdot 55018@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looks like Olympic standard for inspiring the next generation... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5154#post-55017 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:47:38 +0000 Arellcat 55017@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This looks like the rebuilt BMX track! It used to be immediately next to the big stone wall where Musselburgh Gas Works once was, and more or less under the black industrial unit on the far right of the first pic. I used to go racing there in the early 90s, and even then the track was getting overgrown.</p> <p>The old triple whoops was on the straightaway next to the Gas Works wall and was jolly hard to clear in one go! You can still see the original track on Bing maps. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5154#post-55011 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:27:22 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 55011@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Didn't even know this place existed. Have walked past it loads going out along the sea front without noticing. One thing I particularly like is that the track is accessed by one of those A-Frame gates designed to stop motorbikes, and which are pretty damned good at stopping bikes as well...</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/6790319171/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7006/6790319171_287e3b0f75.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/6790319171/">MBurghBMX2</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/blackpuddinonnabike/">blackpuddinonnabike</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/6790320535/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7028/6790320535_bf1055607b.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/6790320535/">MBurghBMX1</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/blackpuddinonnabike/">blackpuddinonnabike</a>, on Flickr </p>
