An old favourite out to Portobello via the meadows and return via Leith, or the other way round depending on the wind direction!

Mostly shared paths with a few road sections that should be quiet at this time of day.

The coffee stop will be one of the cafes along the prom at Portobello.

Helmets are strongly advised, wear clothing appropriate for the weather & it's always a good idea to bring waterproofs. Also bring a means of payment if you wish to buy a refreshment at the stop, bring spare inner tubes should the unthinkable happen & a bike lock if you have one.

We never leave anyone behind
