Think I'll be up for some of these, before work goes bat-sh1t again; hoping to get my bar lights this week. More likely I'd meet you guys near the hills though, getting into ye shoppe would take much more time. Stay in Bonaly anyway so handy for tagging onto Pentlands rides.
Are 'Revolution' bikes ok to be used? 😈
Be using new grips purchased from your good outlet yesterday, boshed the ST subscribers card & voila, 1.60 saved just like that!
Sounds good! Just the excuse I need to stop watching Hollyoaks and get out. Count me in, I'd also probably meet you at Balgreen as my work is local to there. What length or ride would we be doing, need to make sure I have enough battery time! Can't make this Wednesday as I need to patch my bike up after Sunday's ride.
me and blipp might be up for this, depending on who else comes along – although we'd meet you on the canal rather than at the shop. (mark, ygm on facebook in a few mins)
I'd be keen to set up rides, however I am antisocial and unfriendly, hence want something earlier than this (say 6:15 bonally) and pacey w/few stops (not race pace or anything, just hate hanging about getting cold, I have a 40m ride home after – happy to be sociable within those parameters)
al, i'd be up for an earlier start as i get flexi time (and i also prefer to finish early so i can eat/sleep) and i also don't like too many stops so we could have an anti-social no stops early ride 😆
I'd be up for the anti social, early start but with occasional stops type of ride. Do like to check out the stars, have a jaffa cake and a wee drink once or twice a ride.
I fancy this, but it'd be good to vary the nights too- wednesday night's kind of traditional night ride night so some people will probably already have rides organised, plus people who can't do wednesday always miss out… So some tuesdays and thursdays would be nice to cover more bases.
I am meeting a pal outside Mather's Convenience Store in Colinton (Bridge Road) at 6.30 for a quick ride in the Pentlands. Neither of us have ridden in the Pentlands at night before, so it would be great if some night riding veterans were able to join us.
I'll probably be up there at some point tonight but don't know when as it depends on when I get home from work.
I'd echo the comments about varying the nights from a Wednesday. I ride in the Pentlands at night quite a lot and on most nights (like last night where other than a dog-walker at the Harlaw car-park I didn't see anyone) I'm surprised if I see any other bikes up there. On Wednesday nights however there seem to be several groups that ride up there (the Edinburgh Road Club mailing list for example) so it's not unusual to see maybe 15 to 20 other riders. Hardly crowded but given some of those folks are also STWers it'd make sense to vary the nights so more can make it.
