After warming up at the Breakout Cafe we'll head along National Cycle Route 75 to Long Dalmahoy Road and to Curriehill Road. After passing through Heriot Watt Uni campus we'll ride through Hermiston village, under the city bypass to Edinburgh Park, by Loch Ross and to Edinburgh Gateway. Then through the Gyle Park and Corstorphine on route 9 and the Carrick Knowe shared path back to the start.

An easy going New Year ride

A mix of quiet roads, shared paths, campus roads/paths and a short section of busier road

Well try to keep riding to keep warm but stop for breathers along the way and to admire the artwork in the Colinton tunnel. We'll stop at the Breakout Cafe to warm up

Helmets recommended Spare inner tubes and tools to suit your bike Warm clothing inc gloves, warm head covering under your helmet, warm socks etc A plan B for getting home should you need to leave the ride for any reason
