I hate hills at the end of the day

Hills. What I wouldn't give for hills on my commute

Spotted recently on this particular brief climb, at around 6.30am every morning, is a Chinese granny out running - wearing a blouse, knitted waistcoat, trousers and normal granny-style shoes !

She must be in training for something as she is always keeping an eye on her watch to note her times.

Good on her - hope I'm still as active at her age.

Maybe she's just late every day for opening up her mogwai shop.

Sounds like you have plenty of other obstacles to contend with

Comming from Granton, if I don't go via Dundass Street I turn off just before that onto Wester Coates Road.

You cycle up Dundass Street:?:

annerly hill always gets me on the way back from kent after a morning tackling toys or sundridge or other hills.

My commute has a long downhill start and a mild climb to work, only I take the final hill into work at a steady pace so not to come in pouring in sweat. On tbe way home, said hill acts as a nice warm up, then on to a drag for the last 2 miles to my house. We live on top of a hill also, so no alternative. Keeps you fit though, and is great if you are fit.

Yeah, that's a nice little hill, just enough to burn up the legs after they're already tired.

I'm one of those people that really like hills. They test me after i'm really really tired xD

Move to E Yorks. Hills would be an exaggeration for the lumps in the landscape we have.

I love hills, I think any cycle ride without hills would be a shame, whats the point in just cycling for the flats??

I say this because I have a shower at most ends of my journey, otherwise I would be sweaty.

It depends how organised I am in the morning, if I get away on time its the Roseburn path, if I'm running late its Dundass Street. Its good fun coming home at night

Wow, I tried going up Dundass Street once, and have avoided doing so ever since. Going down is great, with good brakes, would be better without the traffic lights

I can barely WALK up Dundas Street, never mind think about trying it on a bike... I've had a few fun walks down it in the snow and ice in the past, with ungritted pavements - Torville & Dean had nothing on me !

What time are you on the Roseburn path ? I'm usually on it around 6.30am, heading out to Edinburgh Park.

It's going to be much easier spotting each other once we all have our CC jerseys on
