    Queens of Pain! Let's roll!

    Join Kimberly on a ride taking in Lochend Park, Figgate Park and Holyrood Park.

    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). Our rides are completely self supported which mean we will be there for you as best we can but you are ultimately responsible for your own safety and wellbeing.

    Join Kimberly on a ride taking in Kaimes Road and a wee stretch of the Water of Leith. Other highlights include the big Asda in Chesser and Murrayfield Stadium. If you're not aware, Kaimes Road is a big climb (they do a race up here sometimes). Please don't be put off by this. We don't care if you have to walk the whole thing, we will wait at the top.

    Queens of Pain! Let's roll!

    Join us at Arboretum Place before we re-visit a route created by Emma C (The Emma Special). 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).
