Advanced Beginners Cycle
10:00 a.m. Sunday mornings
Portobello High School
Hi All,
A few of us have been meeting at Portobello High School on Sunday mornings at 10:00 for a cycle. This group is aimed mostly at advanced beginners and thus mostly at women – but not to discourage any men who may want to brave a ride amongst us. We invite all people new or old to the club who haven’t been cycling their road bikes for awhile and who would like an unintimidating ride out in East Lothian – usually with a coffee/cake stop mid-way. The thoughts about this group are not that it would take away from the official Saturday and Sunday rides but that they would provide a platform in which riders gain the miles and confidence to be able to join these rides when they feel ready.
This ride is not coached but will be lead by either Louise, Elise, Rachel, or myself (or any willing volunteer). No one is dropped and we wait for punctures and the like. If there are many people then the group may be split into more manageable numbers.
If you would like to join us – please add yourselves to the mailing list by emailing me at cjdbow@hotmail.com or calling 0793 290 6522.
Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask!
Hope to see you there
Jenn Bow
PS. Lots of helpful info on the ERC Website about riding in a group if you haven't done a lot of this.
