Scotland : Edinburgh & Lothians Pedal on Parliament 2016 - 23rd April

[Pat "5mph"]

I can't believe I didn't manage to get ANY cake at POP this year. ....

This CANNOT happen again in 2017!

I had to bring my own!
Till the next time @Telemark, bringer of .... Edinburgh Cycle Festival programmes!

Weren't you bragging earlier about your nose leading you straight to the cakes?
You need to hunt them down next time (active travel ). I can't believe @Scoosh didn't have any offerings with him, he always used to, courtesy of Mrs S...

@Pat "5mph" - you seemed to have vanished, too, was looking for you at Holyrood. Sorry I couldn't stay to chat on the Meadows, the clock was ticking and I had to empty my panniers before the 'off'

It was definitely much busier at Holyrood, therefore much harder to spot the CC-ers and others I knew were there somewhere ...

[Col5632]

Glad you guys all had a good time need to get a cc ride organised soon

 

[MiK1138]

it was a good route @Pat "5mph" we also had some clown shout " your to slow for the road" at us he soon changed his tune when a bunch of cyclists chased him down and caught him, was good to see you. tried to cycle back but my dodgy shoulder forced me to bail at Bathgate

 

[Turdus philomelos]

Fantastic day: got shouted at by a driver on the A89 after Bathgate, "get in the cycle pathhhh!!!"
I'm not and you can't make me!

That's why I do all my leisure cycling in East Lothian, a far more cycling friendly county.

 

[Pat "5mph"]

We will cycle back next year @MiK1138 it's a plan
But I better take the next day off work (I work weekends)

He, I'm a mean Glesga cycle commuter, had it all before, gone are the days when I used to stop at the kerb in tears because of driver abuse

 

[snorri]

Wahey, just got home on the Scotrail party special out of Inverness at 23.33, including a fine rendering of 'Happy Birthday' by the combined choir of assembled passengers on the stroke of midnight

Didn't spot @snorri unfortunately

Sorry i missed you, I spotted you deep in conversation and thought I'd see you later on, but looked later and you were nowhere to be seen.

Tomorrow i will be mostly wearing a Red White and Blue cycle Jersey(weather permitting) with ALBANNACH emblazoned acoss it, please say hello

I was looking out for that distinctive jersey but didn't see it

Oh my word! I made 45 miles in 3.20 moving time

Looked all round and looked again but didn't see you either Pat.

I suppose my failure to see others was an indication of the size of the crowd, so thinking positive, it could be seen as a good thing!

 

[velovoice]

I think I spotted @velovoice from afar

Woohoo, I have a doppelganger! Sorry, would love to make it to PoP one day but it'd mean 3 days away from home which I can't do just now with final exam looming. (Okay, so I went to Bespoked last weekend - how could I not?)

Due to the fact Edinburgh is the coldest place on earth the Jersey didnt see much daylight. but had to take this photo op.

Indeed, it was not a day for the short sleeves, but good that you got there and back.

 

[MiK1138]

only managed to cycle back as far as Bathgate, due to dodgy shoulder and a puncture, in case any are on here thanks to the Cumbernauld Feeder ride for the loan of a puump as i stupidly forgot mine

 

[Pat "5mph"]

@snorri it was truly freezing: we did not stay long, briefly found a warm spot in the pale sun then took off.
We took the back way out of the Parliament, the cyclepath up to town.
I did not want to leave my friend looking after the bikes while I went searching for the CC posse, sorry to have missed you all.
@velovoice it's a case of mistaken forum name
It was the woman that rides recumbents, Velo something or other
Her name is Becky though, you do have the name in common!
