Wonders if I could borrow a Helios tandem and stick a tag along on the back? My legs should be good for ~50 miles of towing... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8399#post-84139 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 16:54:33 +0000 lionfish 84139@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@SRD: Oops! How am I so out of touch :D<br /> I'll have to sponser them too :D Guess they went through when minimoth + I were away. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8399#post-84135 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 16:31:48 +0000 SRD 84135@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Crowriver - you might want to check out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Andrew-Cyclist-Charitable-Trust/261938763871280">their fb page</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8399#post-84132 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 16:04:12 +0000 lionfish 84132@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@crowriver: I know several people fundraising for other charities in the ride.</p> <p>Last night, minimoth cycled back to the finish line, as she realised she'd left her lock at the stall. She saw a friend (who has posted on here a couple of times) cycling the other way: She'd just finished the 100+ mile route &amp; 10+ hours later was pootling towards the finish line! <a href="https://makeit4africa.workwithus.org/Fundraising/Donate.aspx?page=7517" rel="nofollow">https://makeit4africa.workwithus.org/Fundraising/Donate.aspx?page=7517</a></p> <p>I felt a bit sorry for her as minimoth said everything was being dismantled by the time she made it, but at least she had minimoth cheering her!</p> <p>I think (hope) I'll be out the country by next September. It looks like a really fun ride - wish I'd done it now. Good luck everyone for next year. :) And def drag children along :D </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8399#post-84129 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 15:34:56 +0000 crowriver 84129@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@SRD, feel free to PM further details on how to fundraise for Andrew cyclist*.

Some clandestine fundraising activity may be required... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8399#post-84104 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 13:58:46 +0000 crowriver 84104@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Right, that's next September's family ride sorted then! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8399#post-84097 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 13:25:34 +0000 SRD 84097@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There was a father-daughter combo on a helios from Glasgow. She was 8. And some younger kids on their own bikes/tagalongs/towbars. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8399#post-84092 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 13:12:53 +0000 crowriver 84092@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes, could be good. Sportive or Fun Run though? ;-)</p> <p>Wondering if my 7 year old* has the legs to do 47 miles yet on the tandem. I suppose I should rather ask do I have the legs to carry him while he cruises on 'rest' mode? Yeah, probably...</p> <p>* - He'll be 8 by then, and could manage I expect. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8399#post-84073 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 10:11:14 +0000 SRD 84073@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>We're thinking about registering to ride next year's PfS, and raising money for @andrewcyclist - the charity Lynne and Ian MacNichol set up earlier this year. </p> <p>Anyone else? </p>
