What we’re about
VeLothian is a group for anyone interested in meeting up with some like-minded people for (non-serious) cycling. We are an inclusive group, welcoming people of all genders.
Our cycles are on-road, off-road or anywhere else with some (serious) café stops thrown in. Any distance in the Edinburgh area - Lothians and Borders, Fife and beyond. Beyond could mean weekend trips to the Highlands or Yorkshire or even Mallorca.
Most rides will be on road and around the 40 to 50 mile mark, but that will depend entirely upon the organiser who sets up the ride. 25 miles or up to 100 miles plus is good too. There is also the occasional cycle path and/or gravel cycle.
There is an annual £5 subscription, running from March to February. This is to cover the Meetup fees. In fairness to those who have paid, non payers will be removed from the group. If you are a new member, you are welcome to come along on a ride to help decide if it is the group for you, before joining.
Please put up a recent photograph of yourself which clearly shows your face, so others can recognise you on rides. If you don’t put up a photo, you will not be allowed to join the group.
Hope to see you out on our bikes soon,
Ann and the other Organisers
