New Year’s Day Mast Ride

Unlike last year, there are no currently no restrictions on numbers in place, but who knows what the next couple of weeks may hold,…

From action to protest – the tale of a cycling facility

Over the last year, Ayr Burners Cycling has been working in partnership with South Ayrshire Council officers to develop proposals for an all-ability cycling facility at the site of the former Glenburn Bing in Prestwick. Since October all activity has frozen and the project is now in jeopardy. More concerning though, is that existing public…

What we did last summer (in France)

I’ve probably bored you all to tears with tales of the trip that me, Robbie and Donald Smith made through France, but a couple of Burners had asked me to do a write-up with some photos for the web-site. It’s impossible to condense almost 3 weeks of riding into a couple of pages, and a…

Burners on Tour !!!

Burners June Update

The solstice always provides a good excuse for riding bikes even more than usual, and this year it was no different for the Burners. Big mileages (200) were clocked up by Jude, Alex, Roy, and Paul who all took part in the Chase the Sun event (East Coast to West Coast). You’ll see Jude’s write-up…

Chase The Sun 2021 (by Jude Paterson)

Back in 2019 a group of the Burners completed the Chase the Sun challenge ride, from the East coast at dawn (in Northern England) back to the west coast of Scotland – 200 miles in a day. Having been inspired by this Alex & I entered to take place in 2020. But it wasn’t to…
