Hopefully dry so West to Norton House, Ratho Norton Quarry,back via Sighthill tramway.  17 riders! and great to see so many of the usual suspects returning.  Cool, and a strong wind, Bill took us up to Norton house, then a climb inside the estate, then a descent through woods and farmland. Back to Roseburn on WOL and into the fountain.  Cheers everyone!

Roslyn

 

7 riders, on a sunny evening after a heatwave! Where was everyone? Anway, a nice if cool spin to Roslyn, via Hyvots and Moredun outbound, and the new Shawfair path back, and the even newer junction in order to traverse the Drum Eastwards. 20 miles, ending at Cloisters.
