Ah never thought of pushing that little bit of Princes Street though that does take me perilously close to work where auto pilot may just kick in.
If i remember i'll go up Torphicen street it'll be a nice change.

I'll have a non descript black tee on and a bright white and shiny bike. Say hello to me as i'm rubbish at approaching people.

Bah, I forgot all about this (as usual!)
Ironic as actually I set off early to go to work because I had to pop into the supermarket for breakfast.
Epic fail! :(

I was there with Amy for a while before she cycled off to school.
Met cyclingmollie and chatted about the TT run.
Ged from EBC was handing out discounts. Saw lots of people I knew but couldn't stay too long.
In the absence of chdot I'll post a pic. People came and went a bit so busy enough.

They were queueing for the free maps BEFORE 8 am, actually I was in queue when bell went. Chatted to friendly Irish guy on Specialized Langster (single speed) on way in from Balerno. Also received Big Ged's 15% off. Was in Marmite but no one said hello. Would have developed a complex if it weren't for the freebies.

What time were you folks there about? I was only there for about 20 minutes about had to leave about twenty to 9.
Nearly managed to brake the smoothing machine the tyre was just skimming ŧhe ground as i was pedaling and there was this nice smell of burning rubber with my smoothie.

Gembo: "Was in Marmite but no one said hello." I did see a "My Mate" top. Was that you? Thanks for the advice about getting there early. I got in about 7.50am and was seventh in the queue for a free map. Also got a free bottle and musette (is that the word?). After that I spoke to someone whose name I've forgotten but who seemed to know all the councellors and name-dropped chdot. Then David and his daughter arrived. We really do need to find a way of identifying each other. I did see a feather on the bike path on my way in...

7.59 until 8.20 my marmite says Hate Jams on the back. Actually I like jam and hate marmite.
I spoke to the Tram man about all the roads dug up at Edinburgh Park shortly after they were re-laid. Lovely fella (but no freebies)

When i was looking for somewhere to dump the bike i walked towards the trams guy, he looked quite excited to have a punter. Had to disappoint him as i walked over to the co-op guy.

I thought it was a Rollapalooza.

Rollapalooza?

Whereas a Rollapalooza is roller racing, or more correctly turbo trainer racing.
