CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 14years 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.
According to the Sun David Walliams will be passing through Edinburgh in March as part of a charity ride from John O'Groats to Land's End.
road.cc repeats the story but with the headline "Walliams to cycle not-so-little Britain from Land's End to John O'Groats" - which is the direction most people choose...
UPDATE
road.cc has corrected its story
"for the record it's JOGLE not LEJOG - 'scuse our mistake"
- don't see apologies every day...
"a luxury bus will accompany them at all times"
oooh sounds nice - can I go?
David Walliams does find it difficult to decide which way to go............
JOGLE is the hard way to cycle (maybe he is taking his time, very sensible). The LEJOG record breakers hang around Lands End/Penzance all spring waiting for a fearsome South Westerly then off they go - boom 45 hours and they are at John O'Groats.
There was an Ironman going for the JOGLEJOG record which is something like 7 days last year on the CTC forum that isn't half as interesting as this one. Not sure how he got on..
"According to the Sun David Walliams will be passing through Edinburgh in March"
Apparently NOT, going west.

Did he ride off with something in his ear?
Dearie me, that will send the safety lobby frothing!
Wonder if they have more support vehicles than cyclists!
Some interesting points about the reliability or not of GPS systems in the comments. I always have ascents calculated by the map rather than by GPS on mine as the GPS is crazy. Otherwise not much point speculating about the ascent they may have made unless we actually know what route was taken!
