QoP #99 Kaimes Road Climb

Queens of Pain! Let's roll!

Join Kimberly on a ride taking in Kaimes Road and a wee stretch of the Water of Leith. Other highlights include the big Asda in Chesser and Murrayfield Stadium. If you're not aware, Kaimes Road is a big climb (they do a race up here sometimes). Please don't be put off by this. We don't care if you have to walk the whole thing, we will wait at the top.

We will set off at 7 pm and it 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.

See you on the ride.

Following in case someone drops out! It’s Charlotte G btw

Also following in case I feel well enough tonight and there’s space 🙂

I’ve had to drop out last minute, so there should be a free spot 😊

Was running late/got lost then tried to catch up on route! Sorry to have taken a spot and not used it. Hope you had a lovely ride!
