Porto Prom Pootle

A 15 mile flattish cycle to Portobello, taking shared paths, side roads and a couple of short sections on main roads, going through Whitecraigs, Inveresk and Fisherrow following the River Esk. There is only 300' of hills so nice and flat for those getting back into cycling.

A 15 mile flattish cycle to Portobello from Dalkeith High School Campus, taking shared paths, side roads and a couple of short sections on main roads.

This is a mix of main and quieter roads and well surfaced cycle paths. When we are on the paths, we'll likely pass walkers, dogs and horses, maybe tiny humans on balance bikes, so please stay safe and keep other path users safe.

We will stop for refreshments at Miro.

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) and loads of chat!

First-timers welcome!
