Starting point

Midlothian
EH11 3HP

An easygoing circular ride from Saughton Gardens along cycle paths, canal towpaths, Water of Leith and quiet roads, with options to vary the route according to conditions on the day.

Edinburgh has ups and downs. There are a few hills (375ft) on this route in order to reach the prettiest scenery but nothing too daunting and we will take our time. We will stop often to catch our breath and refuel. We can shorten the route on the day if needed.

We’ll call in at the Canalside Cafe by Meggetland Sports Complex (8 miles) for refreshments before returning to Saughton via the Water of Leith path.

Bring your bike in good working order and a bike lock. Money for our cafe stop, a spare inner tube for your bike and/or a means to get home with your bike in case of a mechanical (eg friend/taxi).

Helmets are strongly recommended. Please wear clothing appropriate for the Scottish weather!

We never leave anyone behind. Newbies are welcome!
