Our first ride of 2025 this Saturday

We've got our first ride of 2025 coming up on Saturday (11th). Alison will be leading us on what promises to be a scenic route, out along the Water of Leith towards Currie, and then back by a high-level route via Woodhall Road and Bonaly. I don't foresee any difficulties, apart from a couple of short climbs on the return leg and some short stretches that might be a little muddy. The total distance will be about 14 miles.

Note that this will again be a half-day ride. We'll aim to finish at or near the Meadows at about 1 pm. We will not be organising a lunch stop, but there are plenty of cafes, sandwich shops and the like near the end point for those who would like a post-ride meal or snack.

As always, we'll set out at 10:30 from our usual meeting point at the north end of Middle Meadow Walk. And, as always, the ride is free and open to all on a "just turn up" basis.

Finally, please keep in mind that we always welcome suggestions for new routes or destinations for our rides, especially if you can volunteer to lead a ride yourself. If so, do get in touch.
