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.
Ok not quite but coming to the end of our tenth year et cetera
Many thanks to CHDot for setting up, arellcat and Mr Wilmington’s Cow as originators and Chrisfl for keeping it going on the tech side.
I fear we peaked early at PY last month but i have found a last remaining box of 6 bells. They tring but are big and black rather than silver chrome however they will be ringing three weeks this Friday.
Parrrrrrrrrrty?
CCE beers needed.
I'll bring the sultana bread & some rhubarb and ginger jam.
table for 1 then
If you choose to sit alone, we won't stop you.
Beer you say? How about Saturday 26th - could well tip over into the morning of the 10th Birthday, if people are feeling thirsty. Somewhere near a cycle hire point, with decent cycle parking nearby and good for a chat would seem to fit the bill. A few suggestions:
Summerhall (Royal Dick Bar)
Hectors (Stockbridge)
Earl of Marchmont/The Argyle (Marchmont)
Sure other can come up with more options.
Start from 7?
Ten years of the CCE merits a small hangover.
Did someone say beer?
26th works for me, location are a bear to get to on the bus but I'll make it work.
Summerhall suits me and worked well last time but happy to visit north Edinburgh. Bars great in Leith.
Steveo - where might suit you?
No where I can think of off the top of my head, except perhaps teuchters but that got a pretty poor turn out so maybe doesn't work so well for others.
Steveo - Teuchtars good for me and pretty near the Haymarket/Charlotte Square hire points.
teuchters does have the advantage of the malt selection but really I'm easy.
last time I was in teuchters i was asked to leave. Was after the Wales/Scotland 6 nations. Pub security people have no sense of humour.
have always fancied trying Earl of Marchmont, but anywhere is fine.
I'm up for anywhere, any time. So long as there's alcohol involved.
Argh, I was planning to have folk round on the 26th. May have to review this plan. No chance of doing it the weekend after so we can drink to CCE and disaster if we have indeed crashed out?
if we have indeed crashed out?
Babycham and Watney's Red Barrel.
I think @edinburghcyclecam knows how to make alcohol out of neeps...
Slugs. It's slugs.
No, that's yet another of his post-Brexit specials. He's like a one-man BrewDog (but much less annoying & hops obsessed).
BrewSlug.
26TH must be as @Steveo has a a bear to get on a bus that night.
He is taking a leaf out of Lord Byron's book when his Cambridge college asserted the small print stating students were not allowed to keep dogs as pets. He therefore took opn a bear as a pet.
Parrots also available in the Pop Up Geeks until 24th Oct as Monty Python theme will change then to Halloween
i'm in. Summerhall gets my vote - happy to reserve a big table?
dress code: pop t-shirts! since we never have managed any CCE jerseys...
There were jerseys in the early days? Anth as he was known then had one and DaveMcr. I recollect then in PY, though feedback suggests they were a funny size?
Summerhall big table worked the last time - 26th Oct are we saying?
On the slug thing the Nobel prize winning Australian author Patrick White lived post war with his Greek partner in Sydney (they had fought together in the war) and survived on garden snails and cooking sherry. This was when they were happiest
Is it 26th Oct Summerhall then?
survived on garden snails and cooking sherry
Our garden snail is called 'le petit-gris' in France. It is considered edible, though inferior to the big fat 'bourguignon'.
Is it 26th Oct Summerhall then?
Sounds good to me.
Our garden snail is called 'le petit-gris'
odd name for a pet.
