Obviously we shouda kept quiet cos on the way back from south queesferry we found a great, technical route that would make a great race in a wonderfull location close to the city. <a href="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=South+Queensferry&amp;sll=56.382359,-2.88683&amp;sspn=0.02376,0.054846&amp;g=Leuchars,+Saint+Andrews,+Fife,+United+Kingdom&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=South+Queensferry,+United+Kingdom&amp;ll=55.983163,-3.328042&amp;spn=0.011308,0.027423&amp;t=h&amp;z=15">Dalmeny House</a></p> <p>Had everything from tarmac to soft sand, gradients galore and a choice of routes.

They were busy with the event yesterday, but I've got email addresses.</p> <p>The course didn't have much up and down, just a couple of dips, and they could use the concrete velodrome in the park, which was a great feature of the course. Not sure many places would be happy at the 'road' of mud created on the grass, but there must surely be potential in Edinburgh. Needs to be somewhere with good access and parking (and preferably some toilet facilities, and hose access to wash off bikes).</p> <p>I'm going to raise it with the contacts I've now got... Edinburgh CX 2011 must surely be possible. There were a lot of ERC riders at Dundee (around 150 riders over the 4 races?). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=68#post-186 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:14:33 +0000 chdot 186@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Love the dirty pair of heels!</p> <p>Any progress with bringing a round to Edinburgh? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=68#post-185 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:12:43 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 185@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Here are some pics from the event:</p> <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2760/4125567884_4c012bd568.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/4125594306_fcff40b683.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2495/4124831151_2926e1c58f.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2768/4124835579_9a24da32a3.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2641/4125616256_1eb5bbb526.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2709/4124854391_39dbacd526.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2648/4124857383_f001d70bb2.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2576/4124860963_1a06ea8f49.jpg"></p> <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2543/4125632822_1b6a1c45b6.jpg"> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=68#post-140 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:57:01 +0000 gill kelly 140@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I imagine a few of our students and staff might be interested in this, please keep me posted! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=68#post-139 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:12:41 +0000 chdot 139@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've always thought that Shawfair Bing and the self-set woodland at Millerhill would be great for Cyclocross (and MTB and BMXing).</p> <p>Just outside Edinburgh (Midlothian next to East Lothian), close to QMU and due to have a new rail station (Shawfair) on the Borders Rail Line. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=68#post-136 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:50:29 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 136@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Off to Dundee on Sunday to watch a round of the Scottish Cyclocross Championship - wouldn't it be great if we could entice a round to Edinburgh for next year?</p> <p>Mind you, I doubt we'd get permission to holid it on Arthur's Seat - where alse could host it?</p> <p><a href="http://www.scottishcyclocross.org.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.scottishcyclocross.org.uk/</a> </p>
