Essentially the idea is two hours of short, sharp efforts, a good natter and a pint afterwards.

Hillz Christmas social. Bring a couple of beers for a casual pedal around the city with a few tinnie stops at various spots. Plan is to head up Calton Hill, over to the castle, before cruising down to the coast and finishing at Lost in Leith, maybe taking in a couple of wee climbs on the way depending on how people feel.
The dress code is casual attire or full skinsuits and Christmas bike decorations are encouraged.

I have been putting it off for as long as possible but there is no avoiding it, Willowbrae meets South Hillz! All the fun of Willowbrae combined with the best of Blackford Hill, sandwiching a wee lap of Arthurs Seat. Plenty of climbs and minimal cobbles.

Experimental Bonaly Hillz is back, expect some top climbs and fun rough roads. The route will be changed slightly to avoid the puncture apocalypse of last time although we recommend a gravel bike if you have the option, 25's will be fine you just need to be a bit careful on a couple of bits.

The second round of no-town summer and I have devised an Alt West route. It has all the charms of the recently debuted West Hillz, just with less town. Some of you will be happy that there will be considerably less 'gravel' than last week, others will be pleased the Rest and Be Thankful climb has been kept.
