A slightly belated report. A group of eight assembled at Elphinstone lawn. It was a diverse bunch, including novices, touring cyclists, fixed-gear heads, an even a slightly strange wannabe road racer. It was a fun ride through some of the roads less travelled in the centre of Aberdeen and out along the Deeside line, well [...]

These rides have, rest assured, been going on every Thursday, but it’s been a little while since they were recorded on this blog. Yesterday evening your correspondent and the irrepressible cydanil took becycle’s tandem out for a spin. Having demonstrated that two pairs of legs are better than one on a ride down to beach [...]
This flabbergasting ride, constituted of a few challenged persons was extensive. We went from the usual campus to somewhere midway between Aberdeen and Stonehaven, to turn back and have a cup of tea at George’s. Most of the ride was pretty quick. At some point however, the fixies almost ended up on the ground due [...]
A funny, thrilling ride through the icy roads of Aberdeenshire! We went from the campus to slain’s clastle to get George which was trying to short cut directly to the pub. And then, true fun began.

This particular night ride proven quite a success, although we modified a few times the rules in order to avoid deaths. We played the game in the King’s Link’s area because of its open roads and few cars driving by. This time, we ended up at the Old School House. We will definitely redo this [...]
Hello everybody, Tommorrow (or today’s) ride is going to be a bit different of the usual night ride: We’re playing hide and seek in teams! For now, the teams would be of two persons, but it might change depending on the number of people coming. You can team up with anybody you want to. We [...]
This route was fantastic! We went from the university to Milltimber by following the Dee on the South Deeside road and then back to the Moorings Bar on the other bank of the river. As most of us couldn’t come on this ride, we’re looking forward to redo it when more people will show up. [...]
Here is the route we did on the November 4 night right, from Old Aberdeen to the Moorings through Hazlehead Park. There was few of us, it was pretty dark, but we did have a good ride.
