Queens of Pain Wednesday City Ride #8
Aaaand just like that it looks like we've been rolling for 2 months! Next ride will see us go back south. We'll follow a lightly edited version of the very first QoP Ride loop.
No-drop group - we will wait for you at key turning points, and as always this city group ride is more about claiming some precious & potholed tarmac space, rather than chasing QOMs.
Meet up in the square next to John Lewis from 7:45 for a departure at 8pm! The only essential thing is to have a working bike - any type will do! Some tools to fix a flat tire would be grand (in case disaster strikes, you will get help with it ;) ).
See you soon!

Queens of Pain Wednesday City Ride #7
Back to our usual dry (hopefully!) ride starting at 8 pm. Full route TBD - it might involve a repeat of a previous loop. No-drop group - we will wait for you at key turning points, and as always this city group ride is more about claiming some precious & potholed tarmac space, rather than chasing QOMs.

Fingers crossed that the rain doesn't dilute our beers!

Queens of Pain Wednesday City Ride #6
An earlier start this week means we will have more time for our first QoP social pint at the end. Full route TBD, BUT we know that it will end near a pub in Leith!
No-drop group - we will wait for you at key turning points, and as always this city group ride is more about claiming some precious & potholed tarmac space, rather than chasing QOMs.

Made a slightly shorter loop variation to account for the impending rain and remove the one steep cobble descent: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/35930760

Provisional route over here - might change slightly before the ride depending on tram work closures on Leith Walk.

Queens of Pain Wednesday City Ride #5
Slightly shorter loop this week as we're gonna go up and around Arthur's Seat and finish with some lovely Stockbridge cobbles. No-drop rules still apply: we will wait for you at key turning points :). As always this city group ride is more about claiming some precious & potholed tarmac space, rather than chasing QOMs.

You are correct! Sorry, put this in before having coffee :)
Have edited now! -
Queens of Pain Wednesday City Ride #4
What? We're already one month in? Then its's time to kick it up a notch... with a loop that contains a sprinkling of cobbles & dirt paths. We're also going for a minimum speed of 18kph for this one! Still cruising & chatting speed but with slightly less free rolling. No-drop rules still apply - so we will wait for you at key turning points :)

Queens of Pain Wednesday City Ride #3
Back by super popular demand.
Same as last week, we're going to keep it small & simple with an 18km easy loop taking in the city at night plus some seaside action. Don't worry about your speed, this is a no-drop group and we will wait for EVERYONE. The group ride is more about claiming some precious & potholed tarmac space, rather than chasing QOMs (for now!).

Queens of Pain Wednesday City Ride #2
Here we go again!
Same as last week, we're going to keep it small & simple with a 15-20km easy loop taking in the city at night (fewer hills this time!).

I'm into the city view from Braid Hills Drive so that's where we're going! -
Queens of Pain Wednesday City Ride
The plan is to start a new recurring midweek ride for women around Edinburgh. We're going to keep it small & simple for the first ride, with 7 spots available for a 15-20km easy loop taking in the city at night. Don't worry about your speed - we will go slow and wait for everyone. This is more about claiming some precious & potholed tarmac space, rather than chasing QOMs (for now!).

It will be the first time for me as well! It's time to challenge my dodgy knee with some hills and see what happens. Thanks for organising & see you Tuesday.
