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, or a bit less now it's August.

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

 

Rendezvous just South of the Meadows

26/27 Melville Terrace, Marchmont, where Melville Terrace meets Livingstone Place.

The cafe you can see in the picture is Victor Hugo, but it isn't much use, as you're under sufferance if you arrive anywhere near their 6pm closing time.

 

If you want to fit something in between work and ride, Civerino's is good. They do pizza slices for £5 - a bit large, maybe two could share! 

Opposite the Doctors' pub, and near where the 20-milers gather on second Saturdays.  0.4 miles from the meetup, across the Meadows.

They don't do coffee - the nearby optician's is better for that and open til 7, but very quiet after 6.

 

Forthcoming rides

 

There'll be an informal ride on 30 Aug starting from a different place at 6pm. Expect to ride in twilight!
