We've got our November ride coming up on Saturday (12th). Alan will be
leading us on an interesting route through the west of the city, heading
out to Ratho. The total distance will be about 24 miles. There will be a
couple of short
steep hills, and a mile or two on a very rough track which might also be
muddy. But apart from that there should be no particular difficulties.
Lunch stop
Our lunch stop will be at the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena.
Although there is a cafe there, we advise you to bring a packed
lunch. That's because, on our recent visits, the service at the cafe has
been very slow, so you could well spend most of the lunch break in the
queue. But don't worry: you won't need to picnic in the open air. There
is
plenty of indoor seating, including an area overlooking the spectacular
30-metre climbing wall (which claims to be the largest of its kind in
the world). There are also vending machines serving hot drinks.
Arrangements
As always, we will meet at the north end of Middle Meadow Walk in time
for a 10:30 departure. The ride should end well before dark, but it
would be advisable to bring lights in case of delay. The ride is, of
course, free and open to all. As you know, we don't have a booking
system and there
is no need to reply to this post.
December rides
Looking ahead, we will once again be organising a short ride for
Christmas
morning (25 December). This time it will be a joint venture with our
friends at EasyCycle. I'll post details once these have been
decided, so for now just note the date. This ride will of course be in
addition to
our normal monthly run, which will be on the 10 December.
