Around two dozen of us - including many old friends from our early years - got together for a ride and lunch today, to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of our cycling group.

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.

Sorry I couldn't join you on such an important occasion. Great to see so many faces from the past there. Hope it went as well as it appeared from the photos. Here's to the next 20 years for the best cycling group in Edinburgh.
Sorry we had to dash off and miss the group photo. Here's to the next twenty years 👏🏆
