Ride the cobbled climbs of the Ronde van Edinburgh tomorrow - then watch Tour of Flanders on TV

Stockbridge bike store and Rapha team up to celebrate big day in the cycling calendar

Cycle clothing brand Rapha and Edinburgh cycle store Ronde are inviting cyclists in and around the Scottish capital tomorrow to celebrate the Tour of Flanders in style, with a two hour-plus ride followed by a screening of the race itself.

The ride, called the Ronde van Edinburgh, appropriately enough takes in the city’s cobbled climbs, and is due to start from Ronde, which is located at 66-68 Hamilton Place, Stockbridge at 9.30am.

After the ride, the café at Ronde will show the Tour of Flanders live on its big screen from 1pm, with admission restricted to 40 people only – tickets can be bought direct from Ronde.

Beer from Innis & Gunn and cheese from Iain Mellis will be available, and there will also be an opportunity to look through the Rapha Spring Summer 2012 collection.
