Very civilised midweek & Sunday club runs arranged by email with a stop for coffee and scones. Pace is moderate to fast. Depending on levels of fitness we may set off a faster group first followed by a moderate group five minutes later. Start from Banchory Town Hall at 10:00hrs. The route is decided on the day but is usually up the Dee Valley to Ballater for coffee, around 50 miles, returning well before 14:00hrs. Midweek runs are usually Wednesday and Friday but may also be on other days. Contact bill.byth@gmail.com to join the email list.

The Deeside Divas have now finished for the winter but these women only Wednesday evening sessions will restart again in the early spring once the weather improves. In 2011 a wide variety of sessions were run including pace work on the road, closed road coaching sessions and off-road mountain bike coaching. In 2012, if you're looking to improve your bike & group riding skills, inject some pace for summer events or just a reason to get out and push yourself with other women in a relaxed and friendly environment - then this is for you, for all skill and fitness levels. For notification of the first session with weekly updates on times/locations, email the Divas at divas@deeside.org and get added on the list ready for the 2012.
