Cycling Coaching in Midlothian

Midlothian is a brilliant base for cyclists: close to Edinburgh yet packed with quiet lanes, access to the Pentland Hills and a growing network of paths linking towns like Bonnyrigg, Dalkeith and Penicuik. Ride Revolution Scotland provides fully online cycling coaching tailored to Midlothian riders who want to turn those local roads and trails into a structured training environment.

Why Midlothian Is a Great Place to Train

Midlothian offers a mix of terrain that suits every kind of session. You’ve got flatter and gently rolling routes around Dalkeith and the Esk Valley, ideal for tempo work and steady endurance, and then steeper, longer efforts as you head towards the Pentland foothills around places like Rosewell, Loanhead and Penicuik.

Routes towards Glencorse Reservoir and the Pentland Hills give you sustained climbing and exposed stretches where pacing and resilience really matter. Meanwhile, signed cycle routes and paths linking into Edinburgh and East Lothian provide safer options for easier days, recovery rides and winter base miles.

Online Coaching for Midlothian Cyclists

Our coaching is 100% online. You keep riding your favourite Midlothian routes; we provide the training structure, analysis and progression. There’s no need for in-person sessions—just clear, professional guidance that fits around work, family and Scottish weather.

Midlothian-Specific Goals and Routes

Riders in Midlothian often use the area as a launchpad for bigger challenges—border sportives, long-distance tours or hillier routes into the Pentlands and Borders. We’ll build your plan around objectives like:

  • Improving climbing strength on the longer drags into the Pentland Hills.
  • Building endurance on circular routes linking Dalkeith, Bonnyrigg, Gorebridge and Penicuik.
  • Using traffic-free or quieter routes for midweek base miles and recovery rides.
  • Preparing for major Scottish sportives by mimicking their mix of climbs and rolling terrain.

Fitting In with Midlothian’s Cycling Community

Midlothian riders often mix solo training with club or group outings, including rides that head into Edinburgh, East Lothian or deeper into the Borders. Our coaching works with that, not against it. If your hardest ride each week is a fast group spin, we’ll build easier and complementary sessions around it so you recover properly and keep progressing.

If you mainly ride solo, we’ll structure your weeks to keep training fresh and varied—using different local loops, hills and surfaces to work on distinct aspects of your fitness.

Online Coaching Wherever You Are in Midlothian

Whether you’re based in Dalkeith, Bonnyrigg, Gorebridge, Penicuik or a smaller village, our online coaching brings professional-level structure to your riding. You don’t need to travel or join a gym; you just need a bike, a way to record your rides and the motivation to follow a smart plan.
