Next month's ride will be to Musselburgh, via Leith Links and Portobello, and back by Fort Kinnaird and Route 1. I will be leading the ride, with the intention of going quite gently so that I don't tire myself out for the Pedal for Scotland ride the next day!
Hope to see you there.

August's ride to South Queensferry
We have been reasonably lucky with the weather in recent months, and today turned out really nice, despite some early forecasts of rain in the afternoon.
20 20-milers turned out for the ride today - which given the holiday season and the warm weather was a very good show. We repeated the route (more or less) to South Queensferry from July 2008. This time the good weather meant that most people had a picnic on the steps looking down at the beach with a view to the Forth Bridge. We had a nice view of Edinburgh's entry into the round the world clipper race, "Edinburgh Inspiring Capital" which was making its way from Port Edgar to the Port of Leith for its naming ceremony.

No photos today as my camera battery died at the first stopping point!
