Rolling hills to Gifford

A 32 mile cycle to Gifford and back from Dalkeith taking a few loops and lots of fab views. There will be approx 2000' of climbing but will be relatively rolling hills, nothing too horribly punchy and plan to have coffee at Lanterne Rouge. Most of the roads are back roads but a couple of main roads where we will need to ride single file. Depending on the wind we will have a tail wind out and head wind back or if super lucky maybe the reverse!

A longer ride of 32 miles to Gifford and back from Dalkeith. 2000' of elevation - relatively rolling hills, nothing too horribly punchy and plan to have coffee at Lanterne Rouge.

All road so road bikes, hybrid, trikes or ebikes suitable. You could bring a mountain bike but would be quite a work out with 2000' of elevation.

Plan to stop at the Lanterne Rouge in Gifford for coffee.

Bike in good working order, a helmet, spare inner-tube / puncture repair kit or a means of getting home in the event of a puncture / mechanical, a bike lock if you have one, but don’t worry I have a small spare one, card or cash payment if you want to buy anything at our café stop. And of course a water bottle or two, some snacks, water proof in case it rains and sun screen for this time of year - we can still hope!

We never leave anyone behind
