Loop de Lagoons

We will start at Dalkeith High School Campus and head up Crossgatehall and the hill to Elphinstone, then north to Tranent and take the quiet road to Fa'side Castle that has some fabulous views of Edinburgh and Fife if its clear, then skirt round Whitecraigs and pick up the shared path along the Esk to Musselburgh and the Lagoons, back to the school via Eskmills for refreshments and then back to the start.

We will be cycling on a mix of main roads and quieter road and shred paths. On the shared paths we will likely pass walkers, dogs and maybe tiny humans on balance bikes, so please stay safe and keep other users safe.

We will stop at the Company Bakery on the way back at Eskmills.

Please bring the following with you: Bike in good and safe working order and well maintained, a helmet, spare inner-tube / puncture repair kit, 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. We don't leave anyone behind but if you find yourself in a position of being unable to continue with the ride for any reason, for example in the event of a puncture / mechanical that cannot be fixed at the roadside, then you need a plan for getting back home. And of course you will need a water bottle or two, some snacks just incase we dont stop for coffee (for what ever reason), sunscreen (?) and loads of chat!

We never leave anyone behind
