Well I may be able to actually make that (location and date) cross fingers.

Dec 20 may be next option.

Well I think Nov 29 sounds good
Lot of new CCE members in last month.
Maybe some up for warm (coffee) welcome.

Some people hang on past nine.

I'm a likely culprit for 29/11 since it is highly probable that I'll be working from home that day in readiness for my house being invaded by a boisterous 3 year old for the weekend.

Peter's Yard back in September.

Well, if you can promise that the weather will be like that, then I'll be there. I might well be there anyway...

29th sounds do-able, it's the last friday of the month so moneys will be in my account :D
Posted 11 years ago # -
I can make this at moment but may have further Friday diary commitments out with my office which PY is en route to.
Anyway the trend bucking middle of the month 5pm meet at Woods Deli in Juni Green has fallen flat.
Hopefully catch up

Any other middle of the month except this one would have been OK for me.Posted 11 years ago # -
What joy, let us resurrect the possibility of trend bucking woods deli early evening meet up They open thurs, fri, sat in the evening. Looks nice with the lights as I cycle slowly past.
Say mid December? Any takers?

Sorry folks but I won't be in attendance anymore. I have to head south of the border for my Grandma's funeral.
Posted 11 years ago # -
Sorry to hear that, Zenfrozt.

I'm up for a teatime @ Woods Deli in December. I can't do the 5th as I'm busy, and can't do the 12th because I'll already be full of Christmas Lunch.
What about Thursday 19th? (feel free to start a sort of "WD Thu" thread!)
Posted 11 years ago # -
@ Zenfrost. I'm very sorry to hear your Grandma has died.
I'll try and make the 29th, though I may get the train (shock horror!!) as I plan to ride amy monthy RTYR 200 the day after*.
* - cutting it fine this month.

Sad news, Zenfrozt.
Gembo: count me in for December early evening Woods Deli coffee.
Still on for 29/11 at PY.

where are these monthly get togethers??
Posted 11 years ago # -
If you scroll up thread a wee bit there's a linky and a qrcode
Posted 11 years ago # -
well you may have the technologu to decipher that, but some folks (including me) do not.
Is this an attempt to stop less IT-aware folks from joining these informal meetings?
Now. I wonder who that works against/for.
Please will you just say where these informal get togethers happen and give the details in plain english.
thanksPosted 11 years ago # -

Lizzie, don't worry. I don't 'do' these QR codes either.
Posted 11 years ago # -
@lizzie it's next to sainsburys at the top of middle meadow walk (town end) opposite the path through to George square.

If you click the http://tinyurl.com/PY-Fri link it will take you to a cycle journey planner which will plan your journey to the Peter's Yard meetup. Once you can see the journey planner page, "Choose your start point" then "Plan this journey" and you'll have a detailed list of directions and maps which explain how to get there.

Though I have to confess I tried the cycle planner on areas of town I know well and found the results confusing and I couldn't follow where they meant, so mainly stick to identifying the location on the map/in my head and riding there!
Spokes maps are good though.
(Shuffles back to the luddite corner)
Hoping to be there (down the hill from where the RIE A+E used to be!) this week but depends on course start times, fingers crossed :-)Posted 11 years ago # -

CS isn't perfect, but it's quite remarkable.
Of course it relies on Open Street Map which relies on people putting in info/data - especially changes. I doubt if OSM managed to keep up with all the tram related changes where roads closed or changed direction of traffic flow.
CS offers choices - (to paraphrase) direct and wiggly (looking for "quieter" routes). Even with areas you know well it's worth assessing the options occasionally. Inevitably (especially in Edinburgh) 'suggested' routes may involve things you think are worth avoiding - eg sets.
Obviously while riding a 'new' route it's easy to get lost.
If you have a smartphone there are apps that will satnav into your ear (with various degrees of reliability).

What would Boris say...?
Unless you're being literal, then I'm assuming for that ridiculously technologically advanced functionality the apps aren't free?

"What would Boris say...?"
Do I care?
I use one earphone. Audio input is sparing but 'turn right in 50 yards' can come a bit late.
"I'm assuming for that ridiculously technologically advanced functionality the apps aren't free?"
Well actually, yes free.

It certainly kept up with some - it was a bit eerie to see its map of the west end with Shandwick Place entirely missing, for example! (It's back now.)

chdot: tongue was firmly in cheek with my previous post, although it may have come across as less so.
Posted 11 years ago # -
If you mean the Boris bit, I'm sure I realised.
Presume the free app bit was serious? (Not that it matters!)
