Just to get ahead of the game a bit, here are the dates and leaders of the next few rides:
February 13th - Leader: Andy
March 13th - Leader: Alan
April 10th - Leader: TBC
May 8th - Leader: Livia
Destinations to be confirmed nearer the time.
All rides leave at 10.30am from the top (North) end of Middle Meadow Walk. We have lunch somewhere half way round (bring a picnic if the weather looks promising, or there is [almost] always a cafe or somewhere similar to buy food) and are usually back in town by 3.30pm.
In the winter months it's essential to bring lights in case of delays, and we also recommend you bring a spare inner tube suitable for your bike. We go at an average speed of about 8-10mph and we aim to use quiet roads and cycle paths where possible, however we do need to cross some busy roads at times. Children are welcome if they are up to the distance and pace and are supervised by an adult.
If the ride is cancelled because of inclement weather then Mike will send an email round a couple of days before, and a message will be posted on this blog. Send us an email (see left) to join the mailing list.

About us
Edinburgh 20-Milers is an informal and sociable cycling group. We have an easy-to-moderate ride on the second Saturday of every month, and other occasional rides throughout the year.
Our rides are suitable for occasional cyclists and those with a little more experience. They are a good choice for riders who are comfortable cycling about 20 miles in a day, but who might not feel ready for a longer or more strenuous day out. (If you haven't cycled for a while, or are unsure of your abilities, consider starting with EasyCycle instead.)
We favour easy paths and gentle gradients where possible, and aim to avoid heavy traffic.
We meet on the second Saturday of every month (January to December) at the north end of Middle Meadow Walk (at the junction with Lauriston Place) in Edinburgh at 10.30am.
All our rides are free. There's no advance booking: just turn up on the day.
Got a question about our rides? See our information page, or email us at 20milers@gmail.com.
Pubs, cafés and snack bars
These are some of the places where we stop for food and refreshment on our rides.
