Exciting news for those joining us!
Our friends at Civerinos Pizza are offering 20% off all pizza slices for us Queens!
... hopefully makes up for the lack of scones. Remember to bring a bag and tub if you want to take yours home (the boxes are made for full pizzas and HUGE).

Come and join Sim at our new Porty start point for the 3 ‘Ps’ of prom, path and (2!) parks…
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.
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 - and fully-charged lights. 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 or plugs to fix a puncture is a must and some basic tools would be helpful but there will always be someone with tools to help out if you need to borrow anything (in case disaster strikes, you will get help with it).
Our rides are completely self supported which means we will be there for you as best we can but you are ultimately responsible for your own safety and wellbeing.
Whilst (unlike Sim’s usual spins) there won’t be scones, you could always bag yourself a special bonus 4th ‘P’ of pizza from Civs Prom at the end (or start!), if that’s your thing…

Looking forward to seeing you all for our sunny summer special tomorrow. A few pre-ride requests/updates:
- The pre-ordered sun will be delivered, so please prepare accordingly 😎 💧 🧴
- We’ll be departing from Crumbs at 08:30 - scones and coffee are at the end of the ride - so if you’re in need of a pre-ride caffeine fix/snack, please do so before. Crumbs is open from 08:00.
- Please free up your spot if you’re no longer able to make it. I’m sure there are other Queens who’d happily snaffle this.
See you there!

Come and join us for a Sunday Summer Special Sconnoisseur Spin to Newhailes House & Gardens with Sim.
Our ride has a little bit of everything; proms, paths, parks… and maybe a wee hill - finishing up at the historic gardens of this lovely estate where we can fill our tums with famous National Trust scones. The ride will end at Newhailes, so post-sustenance the option is yours to stay and enjoy the gardens.
There will be a scone (of course), we will see a swan… and there will be a big one (Arthur’s Seat).
No drops as always. We will wait at key points to keep the group together.

Lights are still recommended as sometimes life is unpredictable and the ride may run over. We encourage you to wear a helmet!

The night are getting shorter, the days are getting longer. Hurrah! Let’s celebrate with a post-solstice, pre-holiday Sconnoisseur spin and a bit of ‘Meh’.
Please note the ride sets off at 08:30 - treats are post-ride.
We’ll take a wee West-End wiggle, leisurely ascent of the ‘gift’ that keeps on giving (Kaims Road), before meandering down for a touch of promenading, then Roseburn-pathing our way for some ‘Meh’ treats.
Please only sign up if you’re definitely able to make it as the cafe is small and our friends at Meh have been kind enough to set aside a spot for our return so we can refuel after our solstice saunter with scones (other treats are available, but why wouldn’t you want a scone?), great coffee and a decent level of Sunday morning smugness.
Please bring a lock; there is a bike rack on the road outside the shop (not in sight but very close).
