Jim's Evening Rides 2018  

 

Hi, our group will set off at 18:30 every Thursday while there's daylight, to enjoy an evening ride of around 20 miles. 

The rides will usually be paced at 12mph or thereabouts. 

 

14/6: Stop press following recce and high winds:  Tonight's ride onto Crammond island is not suitable for narrow tyre road bikes. Most of the path is not too bad - but the last hundred yards or so are really rough. Sand is also a bit of an issue. Could all be academic - if the weather's not good we probably won't go over.

 

 

Rendezvous at Victor Hugo, 

26/27 Melville Terrace, Marchmont, Edinburgh EH9 1LP 0131 667 1827

Not sure how to find it? Here's the trip from the King's Theatre. 

Please note, it closes at 6pm, so get there before that if you want to have coffee or a sandwich.
