Where and When?

During Winter (October - March) we will be attending the Tuesday 6.45pm 'Spin' class at Aberdeen Sports Village (£6 per class for non-members). You need to book on early to ensure your place on the class (members 5days in advance, non-members 3 days in advance).

During Summer (April - September) Aberdeen's new ladies cycling group meets every Tuesday evening at 6.30pm at the Boating Pond (next to the car park) in Duthie Park.

We decide on the night how long a ride we want to go and and where we want to go. At the end of the ride we will usually head for a refreshment break at a local establishment!

The group offers basic road safety and maintainance tuition.

Please wear a helmet and bright clothes and bike lights for darker evenings.

All abilities welcome!

Ullapool Sportive Update















Well I completed it. It was blowing an absolute gale all day (40mph constant). The single track road from Stac Pollaidh around to Lochinver was challenging with its ups and downs and tight corners. Great fun though. Time to complete was: 4.5hrs. not too bad!

Tuesday Spin Class


Myself, Amy and Sylvia, attended a Spin class at Aberdeen Sports Village last night. It was tough going with hillclimbs, sprinting and squatting all whilst in the pedals. We didn't stop turning the pedals for the entire hour! Very sweaty, but well worth it! Burning approximately 500 calories!

Help make cycling safer for all!

Research tells us that the majority of women in Britain don't cycle because they don't feel safe. Help us to change this for the benefit of every would-be cyclist by signing our Motion for Women petition now, as 2,300 people already have. Add your name and forward the link to help us convince governments to invest more in making cycling safer for all.
