We've got our usual monthly ride this coming Saturday (13th).
We'll be heading out to one of our more popular destinations: the International Climbing Arena near Ratho. This is an interesting place,
where you can watch rock climbing on the quarry wall or peruse the
large outdoor shop. Most importantly, the centre has a good cafe which serves a
range of light meals and snacks.
Alan (Orr) will be leading the ride. I don't have any
information about the route at present, but I can tell you that we won't simply
be going straight out and back along the canal: it will be much more interesting
than that.
Meet at the usual place (the north end of Middle Meadow Walk)
in time for a 10.30 kick-off. Expect to be back in town by mid
afternoon.
Extra ride to Blackness
In the hope of finally getting some reasonable weather, we've
started planning some Extra rides for the summer. These runs are a little longer
and faster than our normal second-Saturday outings - but not much. They're
typically around 30 miles, which allows us to reach places that would otherwise
be outside our range.
The first of this year's Extras will be on 4th May. Logan will
be leading us through the Hopetoun Estate to Blackness Castle. I'll send
you more details of this ride nearer the time.
