I'm working the day of the official challenge, but I might do this one day just for the craic. I don't think I've ever done more than 3 consecutive laps which is about how long it takes for me start wondering why the hell I'm doing this to myself. 
Maybe we should also have a fixed gear challenge.

I am told that in the original Arthur’s Seat Challenge (which was just the steep bit, not the whole thing) someone did it on a Penny Fathering, it took him 10 minutes...
The Unicyclist took 6:50
So there is plenty of scope

NOT the 22nd, that's the same day as the Glasgow Skyride. (which none of you are doing - shame on you!! 
).
....Ok, what time is it starting at?? if it was later on in the day then I'd be able to come over.

So are the forrum members here just going along to the event instead of meeting to do their own CCC run instead??
I might be able to get across but it would be some time in the afternoon.
If anyone is about, just look out for me from the description given in the Glasgow Skyride thread, or if you remember me ffrom the Park Bistro, then all the better!
I might not go though, I'll have to wait and see how iit alll goess.

We are doing our own version, can be done any time. Choice of two challenges: either the fastest single circuit or the greatest number of laps in 90 minutes. Circuit starts and finishes at the Holyrood Park Road/Queens Drive roundabout, see here for the route details.
The first time I tried it (11/11/2007) I managed one circuit in 00:15:02 now I am sure there are plenty of people who could beat that...

Dubious time may need a repeat verification run with an adjudicator present....
