.Beautiful route with lovely views of the Pentland Hills. Starting near the Colinton Tunnel we will head out along the water of Leith to Balerno. Then a loop of the Rigg before heading to the reservoirs. Home via Lymphoy.
Mostly tracks and very quiet roads. Bit of gravel path by the reservoirs so probably not suitable of very skinny tyres.
Coffee stop in Balerno at around 11 miles
Please bring the following with you:
Bike in good working order, a helmet, spare inner-tube / puncture repair kit or a means of getting home in the event of a puncture / mechanical, a bike lock if you have one, layers (including a waterproof incase of rain), card or cash payment if you want to buy anything at our café stop. And of course a water bottle or two, some snacks. And chat!
Sun screen (we can always hope!).
