Next ride
Date: 28 or 29 June - TBC (Note change of date from original date of Sat 14 June)
Time: Noon (TBC)
Location: Middle Meadow Walk (TBC)
Duration
The ride will take about an hour most likely.
Dress Code
Be ready to ride as bare as you dare. If you want to go for some kind of costume, think carnivalesque and really go to town, colourful and eye-catching. It's a lot of fun, the people will love us!
Photography
Edinburgh prefers riders rather than photographers. Rider-photographers are OK but we will probably be using the London photography policy unless posted otherwise. That means if your photography behaviour is unwelcome, you'll be required to leave.
Directions
Middle Meadow Walk is a long tree lined avenue through the Meadows Park. At the north end of the Walk is Teviot Place and at the south end is Argyle Place. Here is a link to the map and here is a map of the Meadows. Here is an excellent photograph that shows what Middle Meadows Walk looks like.
Publicise the ride
Please help get the word out about this ride. Circulate leaflets. These may be available for collection from a central Edinburgh location (TBA). We'll put a downloadable version here shortly.
