Meh: post-solstice, pre-holiday Sconnoisseurs

The night are getting shorter, the days are getting longer. Hurrah! Let’s celebrate with a post-solstice, pre-holiday Sconnoisseur spin and a bit of ‘Meh’.

Please note the ride sets off at 08:30 - treats are post-ride.

We’ll take a wee West-End wiggle, leisurely ascent of the ‘gift’ that keeps on giving (Kaims Road), before meandering down for a touch of promenading, then Roseburn-pathing our way for some ‘Meh’ treats.

Please only sign up if you’re definitely able to make it as the cafe is small and our friends at Meh have been kind enough to set aside a spot for our return so we can refuel after our solstice saunter with scones (other treats are available, but why wouldn’t you want a scone?), great coffee and a decent level of Sunday morning smugness.

Please bring a lock; there is a bike rack on the road outside the shop (not in sight but very close).

No drops as always. We will wait at key points to keep the group together. These group rides are more about claiming some precious & potholed tarmac space, rather than chasing QOMs. The only essential thing to have is a working bike - any type will do. Fully-charged lights are a must and we encourage you to wear a helmet.

A small request that everyone checks their brakes beforehand as we want to keep you all safe. A spare tube or plugs to fix a puncture is a must and some basic tools would be helpful but there will always be someone with tools to help out if you need to borrow anything (in case disaster strikes, you will get help with it).

Our rides are completely self-supported which means we will be there for you as best we can but you are ultimately responsible for your own safety and wellbeing.

Hope to see you there!
