Our last Extra of the season on Saturday

Our last Extra of 2026 will take place this coming Saturday (17th). We'll be heading deep into East Lothian, on a route that we haven't done as a group since before Covid. The lunch stop will be in the delightful town of Haddington, where there will be a choice of cafés and picnic spots.

Much of the route will be on bike paths, in particular the Longniddry and Pencaitland paths. Both of these offer very pleasant cycling - reasonably flat and with firm surfaces. Other parts of the route will be on quiet roads, although there will be a short stretch on a main road that might be busy with traffic. There will only be a few gentle hills, none of which should cause us any difficulties.

We will meet at Fisherrow Harbour in Musselburgh, in time for a 10:30 start (see here if you need directions). The total distance (Fisherrow to Fisherrow) will be 34 miles. For those coming from central Edinburgh, add about seven miles each way.

Please keep in mind that our Extra rides are longer than our usual "second Saturday" runs and go at a somewhat faster pace. Most of our regular riders find these rides are within their comfort zone, but it's something to take into account if you are unsure of your fitness level.
