Let's drink coffee, eat pastries and ride bikes together. We can call ourselves the Queens of Pain au Chocolat.
We're meeting up at Kate's (116 Causewayside, Newington, Edinburgh EH9 1PU) at 9am. We will depart the coffee shop at 9:45am as we have a slightly longer route and I aim to bring everyone back by midday at the Meadows. Our route will take us down the boring but fast road to Dalkeith Country Park, then next to one of my favourite trees, after which we will make out way back to the city using the east side bike lanes near Whitecraig: https://www.komoot.com/tour/1526465940 Bring a lock or check that a buddy will have one to lock bikes together for the coffee shop stop.
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.

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering:  That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
