We've got our October ride coming up on Saturday (10th). Alan will be leading us on a tour of bike paths and quiet roads in the south of the city, taking in Craigmillar Castle Park, Inch Park, Blackford Glen, the Hermitage of Braid and the Winton Estate. It won't be a particularly long ride - just under twenty miles - but there will be one or two steep-ish hills as well as at least one rough stretch where we may have to dismount.
Lunch
For our lunch stop, we will visit the garden centre at Mortonhall. There is a spacious cafe there, offering a selection of snacks and light meals. There is also space to sit outside for those of us who prefer to bring a packed lunch.
Meeting time and place
This is the same as always: 10:30 at the north end of Middle Meadow Walk. The ride will end around the middle of the afternoon, although that will of course depend on progress, punctures and other factors.
And as you don't need me to remind you, all our rides are free, with no advance booking.
One more Extra
We're also planning another ride this month - on the 17th. This will be the last of our 2026 Extra rides. I'll post details of that event in good time. Until then, note the date.
