Day one ... still living

Well, the cycle-commuting has begun and I appear to have survived - if not a bit damp, given the wonderful start to July's weather that Edinburgh appears to be experiencing.

I've actually got a pretty straightforward (mostly) off-road route into the city ... out of the door on Cowan Road, on to the canal at Ashley Drive, along to the Leamington Lift Bridge, Gilmore Place for a short distance, skirt the Meadows, up Middle-Meadow Walk, Forrest Road, George IV Bridge, Royal Mile, City Chambers!

And it was definitely quicker than the bus :-)
