This will be a gentle meander around the by-ways of Hermiston, Currie and Blinkbonny. About 20 miles, with a couple of interesting hills but nothing too scary. |

20-miler.
Broadly heading out West on a loop, roughly Murrayfield, Gylepark Barnton, Cramond Foreshore, Fountain pub.
The route has a couple of variations depending on muddy tracks and wind direction.
|
12 riders - key feature is 1.5 miles of unknown 'footpath' (based on its width) through undergrowth at the side of the Almond, from Turnhouse to Grotto Bridge. Tried walking but realised it was too long and rode. |

Dalmenny estate area. Mountain & hybrid bikes will be ideal; doable on a road bike.
|
13 Sun worshippers tempted out by a very nice evening (first in ages) we headed straight into Dalmeny estate, emerging after some gravellation into Hawes Rd near Queensferry, where we turned uphill and back into the estate to whizz down the rollers and out again at Crammond Brig. Standard golf course climb and ending at the Fountain.

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! |
