Just worried that with so much in the programme, things will get a bit stretched (I only have to be in three places at once)...</p> <p>Just hoping that I can find the stewards I need for the Tweed Ride. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8613#post-111919 Sun, 26 May 2013 13:27:44 +0000 gembo 111919@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Kim mostly our usual loyal gang of cinema goers turning out for janapar but hopefully still possible for people to cycle out the WoL path if weather nice, might even still be light on return. 7.30 kick off for janapar </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8613#post-111915 Sun, 26 May 2013 13:19:42 +0000 Kim 111915@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo Yes the 23rd is the busiest day in the Edinburgh Festival of Cycling's programme of events, this might be an issue... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8613#post-111905 Sun, 26 May 2013 09:52:29 +0000 gembo 111905@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Wilmington's anth and I (baker boy bunnets) formed an alliance with kaputnik (satchel) at POP2 as an unplanned tweedinista brigade</p> <p>The 23rd is also the Balerno Village Screen premiere of Janapar with Q and A afterwards from the filmmaker Tom Allen.

I think I was looking into it all with Kim, then it turned out that 21st Century Kilts were looking into running one - had a date and everything, so our one was dropped, figuring we'd just tag along. Then their one was cancelled at late-ish notice.</p> <p>Tis a lovely idea - last year I chatted to purveyors of tweed in Edinburgh, Walker Slater, about the possibility. Most of the guys there cycle, and convincing them to sponsor something would probably be quite easy - but I reckon they probably had a role in the Glasgow one.</p> <p>Must keep an eye out for this next year - I have a rather spiffing tweed jacket I could wear. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8613#post-86865 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 09:11:59 +0000 SRD 86865@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Those of us on Facebook knew about it!</p> <p>There was a query recently about one in Edin.

For example if the guidance was wear what you like on your head as long as it has a tweed theme, I would comply.</p> <p>Long time since I lived in Glasgow but the people in the photos were probably around, just never together in such large numbers? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8613#post-86855 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 00:07:11 +0000 kaputnik 86855@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is that Laidback's red Paperbicycle in photo 20?</p> <p>I assume out invite got lost in the post.
