TryCycling In Edinburgh ~ Rides 2008
This page lists the introductory rides planned as part of the TryCycling Campaign. In 2008 we will be running rides on the last Sunday of each month, but are planning to start the year in style with 2 rides in January!
All rides leave at 10 am from the meeting place.
Rides are FREE, but booking is recommended. Please see additional details about our rides.
If you are thinking of joining us on one of our rides we recommend that you take your bike to a local cycle shop, a week or two in advance, for a safety check. It may be that your bike has been sitting at the back of the shed all winter & requires minor adjustments to make it safe, easier & more enjoyable to ride.
Details of all rides for 2008 are now available. Click on date for full details of each ride.
