Ach, it's opening time, what could possibly go wrong.... ;)
Coming back the way I will, of course, be cutting off early to head home. :P

head home
back to, ahem, "work"?
Posted 13 years ago # -
Yes. Indeed. Actually, while you pore over pottery I'll likely be ckecking work emails... :P
Must fix the puncture on the Kaff tonight and swap cleats on the shoes - tis the more sensible bike to head out on tomorrow.

"tis the more sensible bike to head out on tomorrow"
How many gears...
I can't decide which bike.
Default white.
'New' fluoro - 'bars may be 'too urban' - but it has got a front mech now.
'Preferred' grey - still needs some work to get it back on the road.

30. But it's more having the full 'guards and slightly wider tyres.
Kitchener's Deli in Portobello?

"30"
Ah, thought you were meaning your singlespeed!
Not tried Kitchener's. I take it you have(?)

Aye is good coffee, I am also fond of the Espy. Not great for cakes tho.

ruggtomcat First metric tonne on a 'bent!
Well done - and along with a 'hardcore' rider too... (Kaputnik did the Xborder Challenge 100 last year and reputedly thought little of it!)
You'll be glad to get back on a wedgie then...
Thought I said that the 'bent was only for pottering on...;-)Posted 13 years ago # -
oops... :P Im sure K-nik thought it was 'pottering'.
All that rough terrain really improved my riding skills tho.
[ontopic]Just checked with Kitcheners Deli, their opening times are 8am to 5.30pm[/ontopic]

So what is going on?????? 10 am at kitcheners?
Posted 13 years ago # -
Works for me!
Posted 13 years ago # -
Where's Kitcheners? how about 10AM at Big W?
Posted 13 years ago # -
the end of the innocent after the Harry Lauder Road underpass (the abandoned shopping unit with the big empty car park, where Sustrans want you to take your bike across the railway on the stepped footbridge)
I think it's 1030 now

Righto, decision made! 1030 at the old Big W!
It's basically on NCN1 Ruggers, opposite the Asda at the Jewel.
Posted 13 years ago # -
OK
If I set off early enough to make 10.30 I expect to be overtaken around Bingham...
Posted 13 years ago # -
Done, we can heave the broken paving slabs into the bushes while we wait! #bigsociety

Here. Underneath the tram. 1030. If you're early just spin around in the abandoned carpark pretending you're Danny Megaskills trying to cycle acrosss the footbridge on a tourer. If you get bored you can admire the old retaining walls of the Lothian Lines flyover or scrabble around in the tarmac for traces of Niddrie North box.

And then (option) -
Posted 13 years ago # -
Or 'cross country' to Musselburgh Station and down the Esk??
Posted 13 years ago # -
oh oh oh, I can show you the roadworks *squeeee*
Posted 13 years ago # -
Not fixed the Kaff's flat so I maybe fixed (in terms of bike) after all.
