St Patrick's Day cycle

Starting at the Russell Road zigzags we'll follow the Roseburn path to Craigleith where we'll do some road cycling to Inverleith Park and again some roads to the Warriston Path. We'll pass by St Mark's Park then cut through Victoria Park on to the Hawthornvale Path to the Five Ways junction.
The Trinity Path will take us to the McKelvie Parade from which we'll cycle/push up a sharp short uphill to the Iona cafe.
After a coffee stop we'll go back on to the McKelvie Parade and along West Harbour Road. Then along part of the Granton esplanade and loop back on to West Shore Road where we'll take the cycle path up by the Social Bite village to the "To the Beach" statue on Waterfront Avenue.
The long slow incline by the West Granton Access path takes us to the red bridge at Crewe Toll.
The Telford and Roseburn paths will take us back to the start.

Let's celebrate St Patrick's Day with a 12 mile ride to the lovely Iona cafe in the St Columba's Hospice. Dressing up optional!

Shared paths and quiet roads. Suitable for all bikes

Apart from our cafe stop, we will take a break periodically to catch our breath and for say photo opportunities
