The whole weekend IS a showcase of both coaches and new riders coming together in a truly unique setting. Ingliston is a great venue to race and the event is set to be a fabulous success. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9742#post-105192 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:52:50 +0000 PS 105192@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>To/from Ingliston was fine on the Summer's evening when a few of us did it last year - in fact, the blast home along a largely deserted Glasgow Road and Costorphine Road was geat fun. </p> <p>Lunchtime on a Sunday may be slightly less pleasant. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9742#post-105191 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:47:31 +0000 steveo 105191@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looking at the routing I doubt you could pay me to cycle to Ingliston from my house.
