Welcome to Hervélo - Scottish Cycling Club of the Year 2010. We are a cycling club in the Edinburgh area which offers a wide range of rides for a wide range of abilities : if you would like to join us, here is some guidance on the type of bike suitable for each ride.
Mudhoneys - for those who like getting dirty (and off track) on mountainbikes.
Skinnies - for the roadies among you (for road bikes and skinny tyres : hybrids not recommended). Easy rides are 30/40 miles. Mid-distance rides are around 50 miles. Longer rides are 70+ miles at a faster pace, with fewer stops and breaks, particularly suitable for training for events (or the racers among you!).
Leisure rides - for those building their confidence/looking to commute and ready for rides around 10-20 miles, mostly on cycle paths and quiet roads, suitable for MTB and hybrid bikes, not well suited for road bikes/skinny tyres
Skinny Leisure rides - Road rides at a more leisurely pace over shorter distances (20 miles, building up to more over the season) around 9-10mph, and suitable for hybrid and road bikes.
Trihoneys - our triathlon section
Rusties - for those who are finding their wheel for the first time
or revisiting them after a break, on traffic-free cycle paths, usually suitable for all bikes. Rides last around 1 hour, up to 10 miles.
Herrvélo - our men's section, for road/MTB rides and day trips
This page is currently under construction - we're all out riding! - but have a look around and get in touch.
