Seems the weather put a lot of people off (probably understandably, though later in the day it cleared up really nicely - photos of other things to follow). But a nice wee group, had a proper minute's silence at 1pm, the rode up round Arthur's Seat.
Low key, but just seemed right....

I'm totally gutted I didn't make it. Had been looking forward to it all week. My freehub decided last night was a good time to give up the ghost and my other bike is still in bits. >:(

Ah, I can let you off with that as an excuse then... :P
Wasn't sure I was going to make it - feeling rather rough today, but after spending last night and this morning fettling I wasn't going to miss it! Arthur's Seat was a struggle though!
The weather had given second thoughts as well, but that cleared up really nicely for the speedway.

It didn't look like you were struggling from about 500m behind as I went backwards ;)
I'm sure it was the lock in my top bag & not my disastrously bad climbing that held me back this time!
*coughs unconvincingly*
Good to have a decent turn out to mark the passing of Sheldon Brown: he will be sorely missed...
& good to talk to folk in the flesh I've known for a while on line
*waves at becky & anth*

That's cos I didn't stop to retrieve the lung I coughed up on the steep bit.... ;D
-
So that was the reason for the colour of your top: that it didn't show the bits of coughed up lung???
& I'd just thought you were a fairly good climber...
Credit to you for organising it BTW
