Edinburgh Cycling but not in Lanes

Limbering up for the Tour de France 09? Did you know you can take part for just one stage? If you’re keen but don’t fancy venturing that far from home, why not try out some Scottish cycling training first...

Choose your bike carefully for more tricky rides...

Can you cycle 50 miles in a day?

Every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday fairly fit Edinburgh cyclists head out for a quick 50-60 mile round trip cycle ride.

Fancy getting out of the city?

Don’t get the bus. Zoom to Edinburgh’s Pentlands on two wheels not four. These organised rides will get you in the countryside with no hassle. Go to Pentlands cycling routes and get on your bike!

Like Swimming and Running?

Interested in a real challenge? Regularly popular with first-timers or triathlon-virgins, Edinburgh’s New Year’s Day Triathlon could be a great way to dip your foot in the water and find out if you like 3-somes!

Commuting shouldn’t be this much fun!

• Glasgow-Edinburgh ride, 14/09/08 - entry for 2008 is now open. Check out Olympic medallist Chris Hoy’s training tips and see if you can beat the train...
• Edinburgh-St Andrews ride: while you might find it difficult to carry your golf clubs on your bike, why not make a weekend of this June outing?

Any ideas on where to find suitable bikes and training routes in Edinburgh?
