Drop in - Loopy Ladies Looping Arthur Seat (Not a Led Ride)

Loopy Loops are back!

Description:

Meet at Holyrood Park and do one or more loops around Arthur's Seat Radical Road.

Distance: Each loop is approx. 5 km
Difficulty: Go at your own pace so you can make it as easy or hard as you want - if you need to pause/stop or walk part way, then do that. You will be amazed how quickly this changes if you do this even semi regularly!
Bike: Any bike, as long as it's in good working order and you feel happy to climb hills with it.

This is not a led ride! One of our ride leaders may come along to join in, but we are not formally leading these rides, and do not expect attendees to stay for the full two hours.

Rather, this is a 2 hour drop in time for members to do an activity around the same time and meet people between loops or have company going around.

If you plan to be there at a specific time, and would like to ride with other members, then
please leave a comment saying when you will be there for others to respond to.

Most of the loop is closed off to traffic at weekends, making it an ideal place for cyclists. However it can also get quite busy, so please ensure you give other cyclists/pedestrians sufficient space as you go around. Please observe the one way system that is in place, and do not cycle the 'wrong' way round!

This is a great way to hill train and improve your fitness with some spectacular views to boot, and will definitely help to destroy future hills you come across.

Please remember to bring: Snacks, Water, Layers, a spare inner tube of the right size for your bike, something to sit on at the rest point if the grass is damp.
