From: North Queensferry Scotland and London (and France)

Bikes: Custom (Colin Laing) 531c fast tourer/audax, 1964 Flying Scot Continental, 1995 Cinelli Supercorsa, Holdsworth Mistral single speed, Dahon Speed 6 (folder), Micmo Sirocco and a few more

Good commute in. I had a rest yesterday as was off on Monday after what was like a severe hay fever attack (I don't suffer from it but pollen counts have been v high)

Got overtaken by two guys coming down the hill into Cramond, and they didn't even say hi!

I knew the type, they ride like hell to catch and pass you but then run out of steam coming up hills.

Anyway, after getting held up at lights i was maybe 150 yds behind, but a long gradual climb meant I passed them both at the top, and this time I dropped them both like an old girlfriend

I did say hi as I went past tho'
