We've got two rides planned for May: our standard "second Saturday" run on the 10th, and the first of this year's Extra rides
two weeks later, on the 24th.
10th May
For this ride, Iain will be leading us on the route that he had
originally planned for April but which had to be postponed. To recap, it
will be a fairly straightforward 20-mile run, with no nasty hills or
muddy tracks to cope with. Our lunch stop will be at Musselburgh, where
there are some nice picnic spot on the banks of the Esk as well as a
(limited) choice of cafes and takeaways. For further details of the route, see the blog post dated 7 April.
The meeting time and place for this ride will be the same as always:
10:30 at the north end of Middle Meadow Walk. As usual, you don't need
to let us know in advance if you plan to attend: just turn up.
24th May
For the benefit of those of you who are new to the group, our Extra
rides takes place on various Saturdays during the summer. These rides
venture further than our usual routes, with a somewhat faster pace and
fewer stops - but always with the same sociable ambiance.
I'll post details of this month's Extra a bit nearer the time.
More rides
Now that summer has arrived (let's hope), other local cycling
groups will be organising rides in the months ahead. These will include
easy runs aimed at less experienced riders, short evening rides, and
longer days out and weekends away - not to mention various talks,
meetings and cultural events all more or less related to cycling. I'll
post details of all these happenings on my website
as and when I hear about them.
That's all for now. I hope to see you on one or more of the above rides.
