Weekly rides leaving from the Portobello Bandstand

All ride info is posted on our website: porto-velo.com

PortoVelo is a Portobello-based cycling club that organises free bike-rides all year round, open to all. Faster (fitness-plus, fitness) rides and slower (intermediate-plus, intermediate) rides start every Sunday from the bandstand at the Joppa end of the Prom at 8 am (Mar-Nov) or 9 am (Dec-Feb) and returning by lunchtime. Routes vary, mostly on quieter roads, and always include a cafe stop. Distances of around 50-75 miles in summer, 40-65 in winter. Each ride led by an experienced cyclist; no-one gets left behind. We also organise mid-week rides, faster training rides in the summer, and an annual weekend away. Social evenings are on the second Thursday of every month, in a local pub or bar.
