My Profile 		Hey
Anyone in Edinburgh?
Recently bought a road bike looking for anyone to meet up with once in a while for a ride in and around town.
Reasonable level of fitness here, gym goer, but new to the cycling lark.

My Profile 		a friend did this last year.

if you take a fairly complete route - on roads, it is 1,700 miles.
this includes a sojourn onto Arran, Mull & Skye.
no cutting corners!

He did it in 17 days.

some days are easy (and a bit dull)
some days are hard (and magnificent)

he trained very hard for the full winter prior to setting off in April.

late April is a good time - pre midges.






My Latest Route: Nov 2009 Forth Estuary Circular

Hi
Seen your post while looking for Fife routes!
If you enjoy relaxing days or weekends away with cyclists who are (mainly) based in Edinburgh you could do worse than join Mellowvelo - an informal self organised group. See www.mellowvelo.org.uk for the programme and contacts.

Hi guys,

I'm Edinburgh based and looking for cycle buddy. Have a road bike, so would have to mostly stick to tar-mac. Fitness is reasonable, but not looking to eat up the miles too fast.
I work offshore, so have a couple of weeks away, then a couple of weeks at home - would be availble midweek anytime while on shore.
