Just been trying to make the map to go on the back of the leaflets. (going with black-and-white for the leaflets on bikes - don't have the cash to go colour!).</p> <p>Wordpress lost 10 points today - was trying to get it to be an image-map (so people could click on the different rides, but wp caused trouble...). Just stuck a list of rides on there for the moment.<br /> <a href="http://breakfastbikeride.org.uk/pwp/wordpress/?page_id=13" rel="nofollow">http://breakfastbikeride.org.uk/pwp/wordpress/?page_id=13</a></p> <p>Anyway, here's the first version.

There's 11 more councillors to contact in the wards currently with rides...</p> <p>Like minimoth said, we need rides from just two wards now :) Corstorphine/Murrayfield (6) and Southside/Newington (15).</p> <p>We'll also be needing volunteers to start postering and fliering bikes next week. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6936#post-73684 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 15:42:32 +0000 minimoth 73684@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hello, We're still looking for a few more leaders the two big gaps are<br /> Corstorphine/Murrayfield (ward 6) and Southside/Newington (ward 15).</p> <p>Anyone live here and want to lead a ride? All you need to do is turn up at a place (near ish to home) to meet others to cycle to the Bike breakfast. And email your councillors.</p> <p>We're going to be finalising publicity soon so it would be really good to get some volunteers asap! Cheers. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6936#post-73388 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:33:53 +0000 LaidBack 73388@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm happy to go out to a start point - just pm or email me at LB</p> <p>EG - Could do Stockbridge - collect group at Scotland Street park and have nice uphill cycle(!) Or meet Inverleith Park if that is better. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6936#post-73343 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:45:18 +0000 ruggtomcat 73343@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was thinking meadowfield park (less climbing for me) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6936#post-73332 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:24:15 +0000 lionfish 73332@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks LaidBack! Although there isn't a ride from central yet... not sure where to start from. (bit confusing as it has the destination in too). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6936#post-73330 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:18:19 +0000 LaidBack 73330@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I could be deployed by my employer Mr LB Bikes. Was maybe going to be on holiday but not so sure now.<br /> I'm central so could go out to one of these start points. </p> <p>Normally go to event anyway so happy to help bulk up ride. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6936#post-73329 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:17:39 +0000 lionfish 73329@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thoughts...</p> <p>Ward 14 start point: What about at the edge of the ward, at the roundabout by Holyrood Park (near the loch): <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/BiUv" rel="nofollow">http://goo.gl/maps/BiUv</a></p> <p>Map of ward:<br /> <a href="http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/download/downloads/id/1384/craigentinnyduddingston-ward_14" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/download/downloads/id/1384/craigentinnyduddingston-ward_14</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6936#post-73328 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:13:57 +0000 ruggtomcat 73328@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just checked the dates and I will be free for this so yeah why not, lets take this to the FB page.. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6936#post-73327 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:11:15 +0000 lionfish 73327@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>ruggtomcat! Would you be ok with leading a ride from somewhere in Ward 14? Or maybe do you have suggestions of where the ride could leave from? which route it could take?</p> <p>Also even if you can't lead the ride, it'd be good to have people from each ward inviting their own councillors to their rides.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>[edit: hope this isn't too demanding :] </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6936#post-73324 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:05:20 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 73324@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just replied to your PM lionfish.
