Ladies' Ride - Bike Week
Edinburgh
Thu, Jun 21st
This year's run will be on June 21st (Midsummer's Day) starting at 19:00 hours, or if you prefer 7 pm, from the Commonwealth Pool. The ride will be about 15 miles and will last a couple of hours, the route as yet to be decided and will be advertised nearer the time, but rest assured it will not be too arduous and will be at a steady reasonable pace.
Please do join us - the weather was lovely on last year's run and I hope will be the same again this year - and it would be great to have more participants! So I am hoping by advertising early that more people will put it in their diaries and come along.
