  • Queens old and new and everything in between,

    This week we're setting off from the Botanics on a westward wiggle around Ravelston and the surrounding areas. There will be some pretty houses, cycle paths and the occasional busier road which you don't need to worry about as we have safety in numbers!

    Here is the route for an early nosey or if you would like to have it on you on the day:

    We will set off at 7pm for a strictly no-drop ride and 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 bring 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 to fix a flat tyre is a must and some tools would be grand but there will always be someone with tools to help out if you need to borrow anything (if disaster strikes, you will get help)

    Our rides are completely self supported which mean we will be there for you as best we can but by signing up for this ride, you agree that Queens of Pain and the ride leaders are not responsible for your safety - you are ultimately responsible for your own safety and wellbeing.

  • Will be sorry to miss this one - hopefully see you all next week!

  • Aw Sophie, such a shame you won’t make it. Hopefully won’t be too lung until you can join us.

  • I hate to admit defeat but I am definitely too sick to ride this evening so I'll be passing on the ride lead baton to the very reliable @EmmaC who has stepped in to save the day!

    Hope you all have a lovely evening. Miss you!

    P.S. If you appear here as a username rather than your actual name, it would mean a lot to us if you update that (it won't work on mobile, it needs done through desktop). This makes it so much easier in situations like this when we have to swap ride leaders! Thanks :)

  • Feel better soon @Ruby
    See you all at the Botanics ready to depart at 7pm.
