Beside the Lang Whang this morning, somewhere near infinite.tinkle.simulations, a single clean potato.

Took a bit of scooting up and down but you are near the old toll house. Though how the Tarbrax tattie got there I cannot say

The theory at Greenroofer Towers is that it was the result of a marital dispute in a camper van (along the lines of "How could you have been so stupid as to choose Maris Piper*?" followed by a theatrical throwing of said Maris Piper out of the vehicle window.
*Not actually sure it was a Maris Piper of course. It could have been a King Edward.

Two people riding one bike through Dirleton. The passenger was side saddle on the top tube, with a cushion.
Looked all right going down the hill, but can't imagine it would be comfortable if pedalling was required.

Gave Mrs Garto a backie once after drink had been taking. We used the momentum of the downhill to help us with the uphill. Was fun.
Believe Bojo did this too with one of his earlier wives

I think I waved at @piosad this morning about to turn right at the King's Theatre... I may be wrong though

Graeme Obree lookalike on way out. Nice fellow from Clermisron , not Graeme as I could still draft him even when he put the hammer down.
Massive queue at apple pie. Mark Beaumont lookalike on way back, not Mark as I burned him on rise at Harperrig and did not see him again. Cheeky as drafted him a mile or so after he overtook me.

Touring couple in East Lothian, heavily laden Surly Troll and an even more heavily laden Surly Big Dummy complete with dog carrier mounted to the back.

Female rider injured somehow (fall?) going down to Silverknowes. Ambulance had been called by friends in attendance. Sad to see and hope she recovers. At bottom close to Marine Drive roundabout.

Obviously looking to relocate to somewhere quieter, having tired of all those people trip-trapping over their bridge.

2 mins chat with Andy Wightman in Cannonmills this morning, at the end of which he turned and crossed the road without looking straight into the path of a bin lorry. Lucky binman was alert.
Am sure absolutely no correlation between bin-lorry near miss and his desire to get away from rabbiting idiot on a bike.

Andy is not entirely of this world.

@gembo Epic journey. Hope Johanna & Hechzio make it safely.
The National mistakenly thought it was a donkey! (corrected but still in link url). Apart from that there may be some actual facts in the story.
@chdot might have a garden that needs trimming so could stop by there.https://www.thenational.scot/news/18699350.german-student-donkey-start-epic-trek-scotland/

@algo shouted a greeting as I navigated the traffic chaos that is James Gillespie's Primary School at chucking out time. I've been doing it for a few weeks now on my own school run with Micro-G on the back of the cargo bike, and had been hoping/expecting our paths would cross eventually.
The area round the school needs to be closed to cars.

Spotted the mighty Uberuce yesterday heading out of town towards Lothianburn while I was heading into town to try out the cycle lane southwards from Greenbank crossroads.

@arellcat - he (@uberuce) is indeed a legend. Thinking back to the time he did ToTB on a fixed gear Dolan. No gain without pain.
Talking of absent legends.... Mrs LB and I spotted Murray Briggs twice today in the MurrayMovesMobile (he's @recombodna on here I think?).
Once was outside shop and second as we tandemmed on Milton Road.
He has his own drumming channel on YouTube. Sensation Seekers are the band he is with. Drums with Aberfeldy and others too.Posted 4 years ago # -
Boy riding a mountain bike up a busy Morningside road. What was unusual was that his front wheel was strapped to his back, and he was doing a wheelie all the way up the road with no front wheel. I was going other way so couldn't get a photo.

@shuggiet classy, stopping might be an issue
Wondered if I spotted Uberuce at Currie Rugby Cliub after school the other day. Could have been lookalikeee

Noisy black Ford Capri with Belgian plates driven by a dude smoking a roll-up on Colinton Road.
Man, old cars are narrow.

He comes out Lang whang a lot. Loves his slim panatella.

The Panatella is a great smoke. Up there with the Hamlet cigarillo.

Two well laden Touring Tandems at the Broch Cafe in Strathyre. We speculated that they were parents and either adult children or adult child and child's partner - the apparent age difference made it seem likely.

Went out tonight in the equinoctal gales and smashed round clubbiedean then down to Colinton. Thereupon spotting chap on tangerine copper flying Scot. He was also wearing an orange quilted anorak. He had added orange cables and an interesting orange minature rear rack that maybe allows for a brief case?
He stopped in front of me perhaps as he had missed his turn as it was JK Rowling stables dead end where we were headed.
What was the Campbell Park area like before the bypass went in?
