Rojo Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 There is 3 of us that ride out in Balerno a few nights a week.I dont know if you can quite call that riding lol...About edinburgh, there are quite a few places. If you know where Bristo Sq. is you can usually find people there most weekends. There are a few other places like outside the parliament, Festival Sq, and outside the Sheraton. I have just started so im not in Edinburgh that much (because im not good enough lol) but im sure the regualrs will be able to tell you more than me. If you do go riding send me a pm i would love to come up with a group of experienced riders.Rojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be riding this week whenever its dry. Probably not tonight as it will be raining but possibly tomorrow night as forecast is dry.

Main ones are bristo & festival square though. I'm guessing train is probably your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
