For this Saturday's ride, we will be meeting at 10.00, at the Sustrans
marker at the junction of the Roseburn, Blackhall and Telford paths. If you're
not sure where that is, head for the Sainsbury's petrol station in South
Groathill Avenue, and look for the sign pointing onto the bike path.
Logan will be leading us on a very pleasant route - similar to the one he
led last May. We'll be heading out to South Queensferry, and then following a
path through the Hopetoun Estate and along the Firth of Forth to Blackness
Castle. This part of the route will be reasonably level but with a few rough
patches. After Blackness, we'll have a steep climb, followed by a short
section along a main road to reach our lunch stop at the Rouken Glen Garden
Centre. This has a spacious cafeteria which serves soup, sandwiches and light
meals.
Our return route will be partly on roads and partly on the canal towpath,
with only a few moderate hills. We'll aim to get back to town about 4 pm, but
this might vary, depending on conditions, punctures, etc.
If you feel comfortable with the speed of our usual Saturday runs, and you
now want something a little more challenging, give this Extra ride a try. As
with all our rides, it's free of charge, and you don't need to tell us in
advance that you're coming. Just turn up at the meeting point (but do remember
that earlier start time).
