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.
I'm listening to a radio program on t'interweb about Audax, and longer distance riding. John Thurston talks to a Keiron Yates and a few other riders about what its all about.

".. a lot of our riders continue riding through the winter, and there is a saying 'winter miles makes summer smiles'.." This is so true!! :D
I know what to expect - pain and cake
Thanks for this. Thinking of going for the Etape Caledonia next year, maybe a 200km Audax too. Longest ride so far is 110km, so I'm a bit worried about making it!
amir: "pain and cake"
I'm reading this month's Arrivée (the Audax UK magazine). There's a great write-up of LEL by Phil Whitehurst. He suffers all kinds of problems - mechanicals, stomach upsets, exhaustion, injury - so when the sun comes out and he says heat is his Achilles heel I had to laugh. Maybe it's pain, cake and optimism.
I expect to dawdle along for a few hours, admiring the view, stop and have some tea and a cake, dawdle a few more hours, pitch the tent, find a pub and have a few pints.
Simple equation:
More miles = more cake.
