#152 Botanics Pootle

This is looking like the last month of dark starts, spring is upon us! This week we will weave around and explore some of North Edinburgh together on a mix of roads and cycle ways. Final route to follow.

As usual, 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 well being.

I’ve heard that it’s hard to get women on bikes. That can’t be right, surely?!

Keep pedalling, see you Wednesday,
Ruby.
