QoP #171: Tour de Bike Path

This week we're going for a survey of Edinburgh's bike paths, north edition. We'll start off from John Lewis, and head along George Street to pick up the newly opened (and partly closed again) CCWEL then join the Roseburn Path up to the seafront, then for a wee wiggle into Trinty (where there may be a surprise in store...)

Please join us afterwards at Edinburgh Street Food for a natter and hopefully some sunny refreshments! Route to posted shortly...

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. It may be summer but fully charged lights are always a must for your way home, 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.

Route link!

Hi, I don’t think the booking link is working correctly - I’ve tried it from my mobile, and two different browsers on my laptop. When I click ‘yes, I’m attending’, it de directs me to a blank page.

Same experience for me! ^

But looking for drop outs either way x

Hello- apologies, I mucked up slightly on setting it up- I forgot to put the limit to 20, and now it’s over-subscribed. Suspect the error is due to that. Keep an eye out for drop outs, hopefully sign ups should resume normally if there is space on the ride. Apologies- first time setting it up! 🤪

Following for drop outs :-)

Hoping for a dropout space!

Following!
