If it were the City Council boundaries then you've the bypass to avoid, and quite a few path closures in Midlothian to contend with. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9536#post-101214 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:05:47 +0000 SRD 101214@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I bet there would be a lot of takers - issue then being how to deal with numbers... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9536#post-101213 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:03:48 +0000 Kim 101213@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@ kaputnik I like the idea of ride with stops to explore the history of Leith / Edinburgh, that sounds rather fun. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9536#post-101210 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:01:50 +0000 Kim 101210@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Wilmington's Cow are you offering to organise one?</p> <p>Not suggesting that you are a cad or a bounder of course... ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9536#post-101177 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 12:27:42 +0000 kaputnik 101177@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There are probably many definitions of what you could pick to ride.</p> <p>The old city would be defined by the walls, or you could go for the traditional burgh boundary and do a bit of Leith / Edinburgh history and then realise that a lot of what we now think of as being Leith didn't used to be in the Burgh of Leith. Or you could go for the current City Council boundary which would be comparatively huge to ride. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9536#post-101172 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 12:19:15 +0000 chdot 101172@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"sort of like the Tweed Ride, but more Machiavellian"</p> <p>Cad and Bounder Ride? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9536#post-101171 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 12:16:35 +0000 kaputnik 101171@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Chdot knows all about the common riding markers for boundary of Musselburgh, and has previously taken us down a bicycle-based tour of the riding markers around the Brunstane burn. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9536#post-101170 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 12:13:27 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 101170@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not sure, but I do like the idea of a Bounder Ride - sort of like the Tweed Ride, but more Machiavellian. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9536#post-101169 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 12:11:54 +0000 Kim 101169@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I seem to remember there was some discussion of the idea of a Common Riding around the boundaries of Edinburgh. </p> <p>Does anyone know this can to anything? </p> <p>If there was/is such a ride what would the route be? </p> <p>Is a bounder ride a good idea? </p>
