Queens of Pain au Chocolat - MILK

Congratulations, you have conquered the first week of 2024! Come join us for a coffee and some brekkie at MILK Cafe to kick off what is bound to be a great year of cycling adventures.

We'll meet at Milk at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop at 9am. We will depart the coffee shop for 10am at the latest to do a 20-25km cycle loop out towards Dalmeny Estate: Route to follow. Bring a lock, there is plenty of space outside for bikes.

This will be a strictly no-drop ride. 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 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 you are ultimately responsible for your own safety and wellbeing.

Here's the route I have in mind. Subject to change closer to the time but this will give an idea of where we are going: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45273138

If there’s any drop outs lemme know team! 🙋🏻♀️

Keen to come along should a space free up! Xox

Hello. A wee heads up for tomorrow’s route that there will be a short section of gravel through Dalmeny estate. Totally doable on road tyres but if you are unsure or nervous it’s a brief and manageable walk so please don’t let it put you off!

See you all tomorrow!

I'm also keeping an eye out for a space!

Also keeping an eye out for a space!
