North Edinburgh needs YOU tomorrow …

 … and maybe the next day, and the one after that … Robert Pearson explains why.

North Edinburgh Needs You!

Do you want to help your community? Are you free on Tuesday 9 October? Any hours between 10am – 3pm?

Yes, we hear you shouting – well read on and come join us on the day!

Muirhouse Youth Development Group (MYDG) and the wider North Edinburgh community are looking for as many volunteers to join us to complete an exciting brand new project which we started on 25 September at Gypsy Brae.

This exciting adventure was made possible when MYDG negotiated a lease from City of Edinburgh Council and they decided to turn this land into Cyclone, The Biggest Bike Track (360 mtrs) in Edinburgh! Since the work started over fifty volunteers have risen to the challenge and have worked through some challenging weather conditions.

Completing this bike track will let children, families and adults practice their mountain biking and downhill skills on a great  one-way circuit, with purpose-built tight bends, bumps and humps. Open all year round, members of the public can use it at their own risk but MYDG will also run regular sessions to develop the riders’ skills.

If you’re able to spare the some time on Tuesday we are meeting at Craigroyston Community High School on Pennywell Road for 10am. Lunch will be provided – hope to see as many people as possible on the day!
