Next Spokes Ride

Sunday 3rd July 2022. Meet at 10:00 outside the Usher Hall, Lothian Rd.

Destination to be decided on Wednesday. Distance will be around 70km (42 miles). Lunch in a café.
 
Please check your bike before the ride, i.e. tyre pressure, chain and brakes. Bring some money for emergencies and café stops and/or post ride refreshments. Don't forget snacks to keep your energy levels up and a drink to consume en-route.
 
Don't forget to bring a small toolkit to fit your bike and a spare inner tube in case you get a puncture. It is much easier to replace the tube than to repair a tube, especially if you have a slow puncture.

Welcome to SnowCycle

Me in the Simpsons?"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Welcome to SnowCycle, a website based on cycling and skiing.

This website has some reports and photographs from the Spokes Sunday Bike Rides that I lead. If you're interested in coming along, we meet on the 1st Sunday of the Month at the Usher Hall, Lothian Road at 10am. If you live in Edinburgh, and want to come along (there's no joining fee!!!!), let me know by using the contact form.

Spokes is the Lothian Cycle Campaign, and operates in the Council areas of Edinburgh, East Lothian, Midlothian and West Lothian. See Spokes for more info.

Some old stuff, especially photographs, can be seen at http://www.snowcycle.biz/ or http://www.snowcycle.org.uk/. All this stuff is being moved in to the one website.

I have also added some details of winter holidays I have made, as well as adding photos from these trips.

Warm Regards.

These occur on the first Sunday of every month. (Apart from January 1st, when the ride will take place on January 8th). Meet at 10am, at the Usher Hall, Lothian Road.

Free guided bike rides along cycles paths and quiet roads to destinations in The Lothians, Fife or The Borders. Come along and experience the glorious Scottish countryside first hand with friendly people.

Rides are fairly gentle, 35 to 45 miles or so. Lunch at pub/cafe, or bring picnic. Normally return to Edinburgh at around 4pm in Winter, 5pm in Spring and Autumn and a bit later in Summer, but no later than 6pm.

We show the way, help with mechanical malfunctions, wait for the less speedy and try to ensure all have a wonderful time! Cycle carefully and considerately. You are entirely responsible for your own safety.

Children under 14, or not used to roads, may only come with an adult. Light showers won't put us off, but persistent bad weather may mean cancellation.

Location Outside the Usher Hall, Lothian Road
