Musselburgh to Glenkinchie Distillery

We will meet in the car park opposite Tescos at the Hayweights clock and cycle along the shared path alongside the River Esk. We will then cycle into Whitecraig to follow the Smeaton Railway path until we join the Pencaitland Railway path following it to Ormiston then our destination Glenkinchie Distillery Cafe for refreshments. We will return to Musselburgh following the same route.

This is a steady ride of approximately 20 miles. The shared paths are a mixture of tar and gravel with a short section of roadwork. The Railway path is a hard packed surface, it does however get muddy on occasion, depending on recent weather, so is suitable for Mountain bikes,Gravel bikes and Hybrids. We will however be riding on B roads as well. This ride is a mixture of shared paths, railway walks and roads. If your not sure if your bike is suitable send me a message and we can have a chat.

Helmets must fit and be worn correctly, lights are advised, be bright and be seen! Please wear clothes appropriate for the weather, bring a drink and snack, a spare inner tube, and a pump and the means to get home if your bike breaks down (taxi / friend etc). Ebikes are welcome, we never leave anyone behind.

I have allocated 3.5 hours for this ride. This is an approximate time as it depends on several factors ie weather, any breakdowns, accidents or delays.
