CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
Hey folks, just wondering if anyone would fancy joining me and Laidback on a wee bimble next week down to Cramond after work (5.30pm for me). At the moment Thursday 22nd looks best for me.
Head out from city centre/West End along the off-road paths and pop out down along the shorefront for a couple of beers staying as long or as short as you care.
Anyone interested?
22nd is my mum's birthday and as such a no go for me
sounds nice though
can always see everyone on the 30th for a jaunt along with the Critical Mass though yeah? ;)
:D Cheeky...
At the moment Thursday 22nd looks best for me.
What d'ye mean, "at the moment"? :-þ I'll see you on the 22nd! Could meet on NCN1 beside the National Archives building.
pah, what I meant was it's clear just now if there's enough interest!!!
I could bimble for a pint. Will be coming from the ovvah direction though!
Aye i'd be up for that, Archives seems like a good meeting place just round the square from the office.
Sounds good but I'd struggle to make 5.30pm. Maybe 6pm if I got an earlier train (52min average commute indeed)
I'll be there in spirit but unfortunately not in person since I can't make this date.
My attendance would depend on whether I manage to get Thursday afternoon off work.
If yes, I'll be watching the Tourmalet stage of the TdF live at home and will be able to join you at 5.30pm. If no, I'll have recorded the stage and will be anti-socially spending my evening in a darkened room watching some very thin men putting themselves through all sorts of pain...
Cheers,
Philip

7pm round ups are for wimps! I've been recording and watching the Eurosport live coverage most weeknights. (And then I wonder what's happened to my social life...)
One of my favourite places in Edinburgh, and have never cycled there, but I fly out the next morning with 3 year old on a transatlantic flight, so think my time would be better spent panicking packing...
Where is the meeting point?
steveo you suggest National Archive cut through.
The big Water of Leith bridge on the Roseburn Path is what I was thinking...
Yes I know this detail should have been at start ;-)
Away from traffic noise and space to park bikes?
cb Can alight at Haymarket?
We can't keep everyone happy so let's call this a prototype run for the next meet!
I don't know the path that well, sounds like a better idea but i don't know where the bridge is.
Sorry - maybe one of our virtual mapping experts can put up the location... ? chdot?
Hang on...
Not correct at last section as normally go down to prom.
Small maps show you location of bridge.
Actually mister, I suggested NAS/NCN1. But the Roseburn bridge is actually a bit easier for me to get to after work, so I'm cool with either.
Steveo, it's the high bridge over the river, a wee bit north of the bridge over Roseburn Terrace at Wester Coates Terrace.
Ah yep got you now. So 1730 there?
I can make that, I think. Will require approval from SWMBO.
Can't do Thursday evenings - sorry.
Arellcat I suggested NAS/NCN1.
So you did... Steveo was just agreeing with you.
OK, I'm clear to participate...
I'll come along - sounds like fun.
although if someone could post a decisive answer to where we are gonna meet before next thursday that would be good. My office is grassmarket so from there its pretty good to get anywhere.
Dunno if I can make it to Roseburn in time but I may be able to free run down to the Crammond Inn and look for a bunch of disreputable cyclist types....
Is "bunch" a technical term?
Dunno... I thought peleton only applied while moving..?! ;-)
ARobComp although if someone could post a decisive answer
Anth hasn't commented for a while. I'll leave last word to him. The Roseburn path WoL viaduct was only a suggestion.
Roseburn Bridge is good for me - say 5.45?
Sounds good to me - though could someone post exactly where that is?
