    Oh, that was you in stealth mode I saw through the back of my head.

    Thought it must have been a hallucination as no-one sped past me...

    I was not on my recliner either in that area.

    So that leaves Dave! It's so easy tracking them down.

    Unless.... it's someone who isn't on the forum?

    Is that possible??

    I was in a pottering, watching-the-ducks-and-swans mode, having come along the canal a little earlier. I'll go faster next time. :-)

    I've only seen one Pedersen in Edinburgh before, but I believe the guy who runs Bain's Bikes recently acquired one.

    I've never seen another recumbent on the Roseburn, so likely me.

    The bike is going incognito at the moment as I redrilled the seat to recline it more, and now impossible to fit tailbox over the rear wheel...

    Okay spi(y)tfi(y)re, we'll put a bounty on your head. First to spot you wins a Roseburn Spar puncture repair kit (the one with the metal tyre levers that shred your tubes). Valued at £1. Or a cash equivalent. (Subject to terms and conditions, maximum prize value £1, calls made after the closing time won't count, but still may be charged)

    steveo - spytfyre is dead, I killed him, wrapped the body in the empty pod I had just emerged from and then flung him in the water of Leith. Given the rain recently he should be out at sea by now (unless a gormley caught him)

    Stepdoh - that sounds almost too good to be true, but like Cricket I could rig it so several people all spot me simultaneously and bankrupt you...

    Better? sorry, should have elaborated. It's the great wall of fire that's at fault, not your link!

  19. A bikeless Min this morning on the Innocent. I'll be away next week when you're doing your insane challenge, so I'll issue a good luck now.

    GOOD LUCK!

    Thank you. I am going to need it. :-) Still, looking at the profile on my GPS, those runs are probably far better training than I thought.

    Running, cycling, kayaking and being mauled to death by midgies across Scotland in two days.

    I am really excited. I have already given my bag a test pack as there is a weight limit. Well under thankfully.
