Welcome to Mellow Velo

Cycling for leisure and pleasure

Mellow Velo is an informal group of cyclists who enjoy cycling in the countryside in their leisure time. We organise day and weekend trips to share this pleasure with others. Most rides start from railway stations but we share cars or hire a van where no train service is available.

Most of us are based in the Edinburgh area but the cycle rides can be anywhere in Scotland or Northern England. Rides vary from 30-50 miles a day (averaging 40) with café and sightseeing stops. Accommodation is in Hostels or B & Bs.

The pace is relaxed – we are not a racing club! In fact we are not a formal club at all, although many of us are also members of organisations such as Spokes or the CTC. The rides are open to everyone, contact the organiser to book.

Mellow Velo has an email group.

Mellow Velo has now moved its email list to groups.io. To join, click on the 'find/create group' button, then type 'Mellowvelo' into the search box and click on the mellowvelo link that appears. Click on the 'join group' button and follow instructions from there.
