November's ride

November - the clocks have gone back, the nights are drawing in... perfect time for another bike ride.

For our November ride (Saturday 8th) we'll be heading out to Cramond, via the city centre, Inverleith and Davidson's Mains parks, then following cycle paths from Cramond to the new Waterfront development. Given the time of year we're aiming to have our lunch stop at the new Morrison's supermarket cafe (or there are picnic areas outside should the weather be lovely, like it was for our February ride!) then we'll head back through the North Edinburgh cycle path network to Leith Links and return to the starting point via Lochend Park and Holyrood Park. The distance is almost exactly 20 miles, and there are a couple of smallish hills. We should be back at the starting point around 3.30pm. It might be a good idea to bring lights, especially if the weather is dull or you know it will take you a while to get home after the ride.

Meet: 10.30, at the north end of Middle Meadow Walk (junction of Lauriston Place). There are coffee shops and a supermarket near by if you'd like to pick up picnic provisions.
Cost and booking: Free; just turn up. No need to book.
