    Hi bike fam!

    This week will be led by Ruby, starting at her beloved geese in Fountainbridge.

    You know the drill, 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.

    the days are long but fully charged lights are still a good idea at this time of year - you never know, you might make some new friends and decide to hang out after the ride! 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 your glorious faces soon!

    Change of plan everyone. We will still leave from Leith Links but we will now be finishing at the Omni Center food market. That way we should be able to hang out together and watch our bikes without getting soaked. Can’t wait to see you all!

    Week 108 AND or 2nd birthday week (don’t do the maths or ask questions) so we are having an extra social social ride. Leaving from Leith Links, Ruby will lead you on a gentle ride through the city towards Portobello where we will get some extra time hanging out over pizza and chips! We’ll keep an eye on the weather and move the party indoors if it’s looking too wet and cold.

    Thanks for getting QoP through another fun year of riding!

    Here's hoping you are all filled with pancakes and sugar ready for this weeks ride.

    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.

    Route to follow. See you at Bristo Square!
