Hello, hello!
It's a Botanics start this week and I am resurrecting the ride we did on our first Wednesday of 2024 - a wiggle around north Edinburgh that created some avian themed Strava art (by accident!):
https://www.komoot.com/tour/1887319063As 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. 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 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.

True teamwork in action

I’m going to join just for the bike ride - got plans in the afternoon!

Hello!
This week we start in one of our newer meeting points - Figgate Park, Portobello. The route is being worked up and I will post it here later - but as the name suggests we will be paying a visit to The Wisp!
We will meet to the West side of Heron Island by the pond viewing point - here's the map location and visual attached to help you get there: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ezSbeVdGXN8CcbYh9

Dropping out as over committed myself this week! Go grab it!
Hello Queens! It's been a bit nippy recently so let’s include some hills to warm the cockles. The plan is take a gentle spin around Arthurs Seat, then across the Meadows to the Castle, over to Calton Hill, before gliding back down to Leith. Here’s the route:

We'll be taking this ride at our relaxed community pace. As always, it's a strictly no-drop ride and we will wait at key points to keep the group together. Our group rides are more about claiming some precious & potholed tarmac space, rather than chasing QOMs. The only essential things to bring are a working bike (any type will do) and fully charged lights (cos it'll be dark). We also 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).
