    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. 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. 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).

    Route to follow. See you at Bristo Square!

    Here's the route! It's my turn to be selfish and take you on some 'new to me' streets around the city!

    We're back at!! Come pedal with us!

    Join us this week at Arboretum Place outside the botanics/Inverleith Park - Route to follow below. No drops. We'll wait at key points to keep the group together. These rides are more about claiming some precious and potholed tarmac space, rather than chasing QOMs. The only essential thing is to have a working bike - any bike will do. The days are still short (although getting longer) so fully charged lights are a must and we encourage you to wear a helmet. A request that you check your brakes beforehand as we want to keep you all safe. A spare tube or plugs to fix a puncture 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).

    The end is nigh BUT not for QoP. It’s been a whirlwind of a year. We did an Alleycat and celebrated out 1st anniversary, we did our first Intro to Bikepacking experience, we led a Womens100 ride in true QoP style, we got an FKT (we suppose that was all up to Saz), we lost and found a cat, we broke a couple of bones and made lots of new friends and so, so much more!! Bring on 2023!!

    No drops as always. 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 getting shorter so 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 or plugs to fix a puncture 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 (in case disaster strikes, you will get help with it).

    See ya later 2022!
