Let’s take it easy this week—a bikey cruise down to the Cramond prom, past Wardie Bay and back up on another beloved cycle path. A little bit of a kick right at the end but mostly chill gradients and off road chat. Route will be posted tomorrow!
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. 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.

Hello QoPers!
This week we're gonna set off from our Leith Links starting point, at the bottom of Easter Road. Met Office is predicting a dry evening and highs of ELEVEN degrees on Wednesday. To celebrate 'false spring', we will be taking in some green spaces including Figgate Park and Lochend Park. Given sunset hasn't quite caught up with 'false spring', a good set of lights will be useful. Full route posted later today!

Looking forward to tomorrow all! Here’s the route : https://www.komoot.com/tour/1418173756?ref=itd&share_token=a7Vps9ic7orqbNL78cYpcU6UWwYuz0o2O83BG4QH1qG39EGy74&ref=its
There is a short muddy section through cammo estate which is rideable but we will also stop and have time to walk any tricky sections. It’s very beautiful and worth it!
There is also a tricky crossing of Maybury Road. We will probably dismount and walk across and take our time at this section.
Hiya! Welcome :) it’s not automatic but sometimes if people drop out they’ll comment on here and you should get an email about that!
