Last of this summer's Extras this coming Saturday

We are planning to squeeze in one more of our Extra rides this summer. This will take place this coming Saturday (27th). Under Alan's leadership, we will be heading over the Forth Road Bridge and into Fife, with a lunch stop in Dunfermline. The route will be on a variety of roads and paths, including a couple of stretches on main roads that might be busy with traffic. There will be some long-ish climbs in the morning but no real killers (and some nice free-wheeling in the afternoon). The total distance will be 32 - 35 miles.

Please remember that these Extras go at a faster pace than our normal rides, with fewer stops. They are suitable for those of our riders who find our usual runs well within their capabilities. Those who are less fit or who haven't cycled for a while will probably prefer to skip this one.

Lunch arrangements

Our lunch stop will be in Pittencrieff Park in the centre of Dunfermline. This is an ideal spot for a picnic, so I suggest you bring a packed lunch. Alternatively, there is a cafe in the park, serving a soup of day and a good range of snacks and hot and cold drinks.

Meeting time and place


For this ride, we'll assemble at the Craigleith path junction (see here if you need directions). Please aim to get there in time for a prompt 10:30 departure.

Looking ahead, our next ride will take place on 11 October. As usual, I'll post full details nearer the time.
