CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 17years 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.
Got a train to Tweedbank to ride route #27 from the new book by Jack Thurston Lost Lanes Scotland.
It's a 77k route through Melrose, Scott's view, Smailholm tower, Floors castle in Kelso, Ancurm and back to Tweedbank. The lanes were absolutely lovely and I never knew those things were there.
6 bikes on the train back in a single bike carriage. It wasn't busy so we were allowed but the conductor wasn't too happy.
You can get a copy of the book here:

Gravel bike I assume. Well I know as I saw your film. Quite a lot of interesting sandwiches and enormous ice cream too.
@gembo gravel bike yes. My regular commuting bike is currently out of service and the Audax bike is a bit too ... audaxy for rides like this. Plus the road surfaces on the list lanes are variable so the gravel bike is a good choice :)
I got three croissant parties (with falafel inside) for the price of one in Kelso because the bakery was closing for Sunday and that was all they had left. And the gelato in Kelso was very tasty (grapefruit+ basil and espresso flavours). And I got a large cup of tea from Gregg's.
