Queens of Pain au Chocolat : Dùnè

Time to drink coffee, eat pastries and ride bikes together. Queens of Pain au Chocolat assemble!.

Just to give everyone a heads-up we'll meet at Dune in South Queensferry at 9:30 am. Everyone will make their own way to the coffee shop (trains available from Waverley if you don't fancy cycling that early on a Sunday) after which we'll have a merry breakfast together, and start riding back to the city at 10:30am. We'll follow a classic route back through Dalmeny Estate, through Cramond prom and we're gonna finish at Newhaven.

Bring a lock in case you want to sit inside. There is outside seating as well so fingers crossed for a beautiful day!

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.

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.

Whether is looking dry for tomorrow! Bring a warm layer as we’ll probably have pastries and coffees outside. The bakery doesn’t have a lot of seating space….

And our post pain au chocolat route tomorrow: https://www.komoot.com/tour/1690949917

Trains look like they’re gonna be cancelled! :(

If anyone is going to cycle from leith please let me know
