That gives me some sort of hope [not sure why really...but it's good he's actually used a bike before!] - does he ever go on the roads or is this all on hill-tracks? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8403#post-84133 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 16:09:46 +0000 Baldcyclist 84133@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not defending his policies, but does he not spent quiet a bite of time on his bike around Alloa / Dollar area? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8403#post-84130 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 15:57:04 +0000 lionfish 84130@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think I saw Alison Johnstone (but I wasn't 100% sure!).</p> <p>I didn't see Keith Brown either. We should definitely all send him some congratulations for switching to the bicycle! &amp; That we'll say hi if we cycle past him on the bike paths. :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8403#post-84127 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 15:26:03 +0000 sallyhinch 84127@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well at the POP stall, Mark Beaumont stopped by to say hello, I *think* I saw Alison Johnstone, I definitely saw a mutant ninja turtle and there were two pirates on a tandem (who are coming to the next POP) - but no Keith Brown. Doesn't mean he wasn't there of course </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8403#post-84126 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 15:23:53 +0000 crowriver 84126@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Does it not chafe a bit riding 'commando' in a kilt though? As for the sporran bashing one's nether regions for 50 miles.....ouch.</p> <p>Must be why Scots, including the Transport Minister, have taken to driving everywhere instead. It's the kilts.</p> <p>Maybe our resident kilt wearing cyclists would beg to differ? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8403#post-84124 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 15:11:19 +0000 gdm 84124@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think there's more chance of the piper having completed it... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8403#post-84123 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 15:06:52 +0000 crowriver 84123@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone got photos of the Minister at the finish? Or alternatively sneaking into a chauffeur driven limo? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8403#post-84119 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 14:50:31 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 84119@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>One of the years I rode it Nicola Sturgeon was there at the start and proudly rode out. To the first rest stop 10 miles away where she was whisked away in a car. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8403#post-84117 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 14:49:14 +0000 crowriver 84117@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dropped by the PfS site to look into registering for 2013, only to spy a photo of Keith Brown astride a bike, gearing up for the Challenge Ride.</p> <p>Couldn't quite believe my eyes. Here he is with Mark Beaumont:</p> <p><img src="http://www.pedalforscotland.org/media/5487/dsc_7206_397x256.jpg"></p> <p>Wonder if he made it to the finish? </p>
