Ride Strong Challenging rides on the road Although you probably wouldn't describe yourself as the next Bradley Wiggins you know your way around a bike and consider yourself to be fairly fit. You've also enjoyed the experience of riding with other people and now fancy a fresh challenge that includes teaming up with a group of people who feel the same way as you. You'll get a fresh perspective on your local area on rides lasting from one and a half to two and a half hours spending most of your time on quiet roads.. If you fancy the prospect of a brisk to speedy pace over twenty to thirty miles, with a strong likelihood of some hills thrown in along the way, then Ride Strong is for you.

Starting Point & Postcode
Sky 2 Mcintosh Road, Kirkton Campus EH54 7BW
Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.
3 hours 10 mins  (2 hours 30 mins cycling)
Bike Type You probably don’t want to drag your road bike across bumpy trails. Maybe you want to make the most of the suspension on your mountain bike. This helps you match your ride to your bike.

  • Reuben Millward Reuben Millward Cycling is my main passion, second only to drumming. I simply adore peddeling along at a swift pace on or off road. I enjoy road and mountain biking and have cycled in London and Glasgow since the age of seven, for pleasure and charity and as a mode of transport. I commute to work when possible and I'm committed to promoting city cycling as a greener/ healthier option for all and making cities and the public far more cycle friendly. I also organize cycling events in my profession in promting recovery from mental health issues.

    I have cycled with the Glasgow mountain bike club since 1997. I have cycled in the Islands of Scotland, the Lakes in England and France and Spain off road. I have much experience of leading rides and the issues that arise on Skyrides having led rides in Glasgow last year. I look foward to meeting you for a sky ride on a sunny day in Glasgow. Cheers Reuben Millward

I look forward to meeting you all and hope you enjoy your days riding with us.
