QoP #136 - Arthur & Hermitage

A classic Wednesday night wiggle around Edinburgh... starting at John Lewis, doing just under a loop of our mate, Arthur, followed by a wee scoop through the Hermitage. I walked through the other day and it wasn't as muddy as expected, so should be grand! No rain is forecast.

Setting off at 7pm this is 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.

Damm! You are all so fast on the sign up! Hope to get a spot if anyone drops out.

Would love to join if a space comes up!

Would also love to join if a space comes up! X

Super Duper Natalie will lead a second group, so we can split and have double the trouble and fun!

I'd also love to join if a space comes up :-)

Jess watch this space later in the afternoon, we tend to have a couple of people dropping out a couple of hours before the ride.

Grand! i will :-)

I'm up for joining if a space becomes available. Will be my first time hopefully.

Hello! My back bike light broke TODAY and I don’t feel comfortable riding without it. I’m not sure I’ll have time to pick up another in between work and the ride so I’m wondering if anyone has a spare. If not, happy to forfeit my place this week for someone else ❤️

Hi Grace! I can lend you a back light for tonight! I'd just need it back by end of the week if ok...

Thank you so much that would be amazing! I can give it back to you at the end of the ride as my way home is very well lit

Okay! We can talk tonight- could be that we can ride together for a while towards home so that you’re still visible!
