Hope to make a regular date of it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12459#post-146977 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 00:02:37 +0000 ianmb 146977@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Pintail - it's a 7.30am start outside the old Fairmile Inn. I'm on kids taxi duty so won't be there but Scott will and will lead the ride. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12459#post-146954 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 17:00:14 +0000 Charterhall 146954@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks Fimm, missed that. Might give it a go tomorrow if I can manage the horribly early start. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12459#post-146876 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 10:21:22 +0000 fimm 146876@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>On the FAQ page:<br /> "<em>Training rides start from the bus stop opposite the site of the old Fairmile Inn on the Biggar Rd.</em>" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12459#post-146865 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 08:09:45 +0000 Charterhall 146865@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>ianmb, there's a start time listed for tomorrow's ride but not a location. Are you able to advise ? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12459#post-146861 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 00:30:11 +0000 ianmb 146861@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I know the guys behind this. Started with a group of us doing a regular Sunday ride and this is trying to expand and have more people joining in if they want to. It is very sociable for anyone that wants to join in. Different people pitch up each week so no commitment to be out every weekend as a lot of us have other commitments that can make a Sunday cycle a treat when it occurs.</p> <p>I think this week's ride is on Saturday morning to avoid a clash with Mother's Day!</p> <p>There's a lot more on Facebook if you search for Pentland Velo. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12459#post-146836 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 21:04:42 +0000 Dave 146836@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Interesting. We were down Leeds way last weekend and it was rampant with clubs out on runs both days, giving us cause to wonder about a "valley of the water of leith cycle club" (better names might be possible).</p> <p>Fairmilehead not too distant... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12459#post-146807 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 16:03:35 +0000 chdot 146807@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>About</p> <p>Pentland Velo – Local group of cyclists, who go out on leisure/training rides to be sociable, and get fit for various Sportive Events.<br /> Starting out initially as a work in progress for over the Winter 2013, and then into 2014, with an aim to launch in the Spring 2014 if it looks like a good idea.</p> <p>Formed from a collective idea and as an extension to the Sunday AM Cyclists group, to encourage other local riders, to join in and get fit(ter) in good sociable company. Whether it be for fun or aiming for a Sportive event in the future. Longer term aim to include family rides and provide classes on relevant topics to cycling.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://pentlandvelo.wordpress.com/about" rel="nofollow">http://pentlandvelo.wordpress.com/about</a> </p>
