I have invited Cllr Key to join us at the Counter so I'll be there from 8.15 (He won't be until 9ish due to his school run duties)
I also have a box of 'Gembo gels' to hand over if that helps swing his decision.
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.

Are "gembo gels" some kind of youth street drug, or an in-demand black market hair product?
It is haary outside right now and based on this morning I can't imagine that it won't be chilly tomorrow morning so it is likely best to defer back to PY... I have a large number of inner tubes to bring so it would be helpful to have confirmation that they will indeed be collected from PY instead.
Oh dear. What have I done? Let's hope it clears quickly in the morning! Layer up?
Bright & sunny in the West.
How's the city centre?
Misty in Baleno but sun peeping through. I am going to the counter to give SRD the tubes. 8a.m. To 8.15 a.m. We may well then cycle to PY it is en route. I did have hankchief gels to give in return but after carrying them around (but never managing to handover eg at pop when we were fleetingly together) I ate them on Arran.
Small amount of blue sky over slateford. Hopefully cloud will burn off soon.
aye blue sky over the canal! happy birthday jdanielp!
Blue sky and sunny at barge cafe. All good.
Phew. Glad to hear that it has worked out. See some of you closer to half eight when it may even be starting to feel warm?! ;)
@SRD thanks!
Cake?
The cake is a lie. Happy to bring some to the next CCE meet at a place that doesn't serve cake or similar snacks. On my way...
It looks lovely out there. Sadly I had to bring stuff to work so wasn't even on the Brompton and definitely couldn't make a sneaky trip to The Counter en route.
Happy Birthday jdanielp!
@fimm thanks!
Haar index down to zero this morning. Aphid index up again.
Cyclists not spending money again ;-)
Well that was a lovely hour for breakfast.
And WARM! Not quite tapps aff (perhaps for the best) but jackets & jumpers very much unnecessary.
Well that was a far more civilised way to spend a morning than lugging stuff round the living room. (wasn't popular when I eventually got home mind)
Great to see everyone. Many thanks for the special pink grapefruit gels.
That is not a flattering photo of me :(
Disposable cups klaxon?
Klaxon wasn't there. ;-)
The disposable* cups didn't go unnoticed, but unhurt and I came prepared.
* Yes, they're Vegware, and yes, they're made of sugar cane† derivative and industrially compostable¥, but no, the chances of them ending up in the incinerator and not your local AD plant are very high.

¥ Not home compostable, but maybe for your brown bin.
@Arellcat Remind me who made your class collapsible cup?

In my defence I drink so little tea that the carbon/plastic tied up in a single reusable cup would take decades to recoup.
