What are the Sunday road rides like?

Information about group club rides

Sunday road runs :
All runs start from the Tusitala Pavilion near Fairmilehead at 10am. Two Training groups are formed, each riding at a different pace. These groups might have a café stop but it’s not guaranteed.

Training Group 1 will average 20 + mph and is aimed at riders training to race. Riders are assumed to be self supporting and, while the group normally stops for punctures etc, those off the pace should be prepared to navigate their own way home. Distance varies according to the season but is usually 60 – 80 miles.

Training Group 2 will average 17+ mph and is usually formed of riders training to race or reasonably fit recreational cyclists. Also self supporting. Distance varies according to the season but is usually 60 – 80 miles.

Individuals take part in any group rides at their own risk. Edinburgh RC and its club members accept no responsibility for the safety of anyone participating in group rides, and no liability in the event of an accident.
