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. Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask! Hope to see you there Jenn PS. Lots of helpful info on the ERC Website about riding in a group if you haven't done a lot of this. http://www.edinburghrc.co.uk/news/263/95/What-should-I-take-with-me-on-a-club-road-ride http://www.edinburghrc.co.uk/news/611/95/What-is-the-etiquette-of-group-road-riding http://www.edinburghrc.co.uk/news/256/95/How-should-I-prepare-for-a-club-road-ride

We should all aim to get to the poolside at 6:55pm to start at 7pm sharp. We have to have a 5 minute changeover period between us and the next club. Edinburgh Leisure wanted this to be 10 minutes, so they will be monitoring us to make sure we are all out of the pool by 7:55pm sharp.

I have been advised that currently club swimmers park either in the surrounding side streets (if they can find a space) or in Somerfield car park (on Dalry road). The general consensus is that it isn't a problem parking there for 2 hours at that time of the evening. There is also railing space outside Dalry baths for locking bikes. I would advise getting there early the first week if you are driving.
