Just a heads up for anyone who may be interested...
The Edinburgh 20 milers has one of their extra rides this coming Saturday (22nd August). We will be heading out on a foray into East Lothian. The lunch stop will be the Merryhatton Garden Centre near East Fortune. There is a spacious cafeteria there offering a good choice of snacks and light meals. As always, you can bring your own food for a picnic if you prefer.
For this ride, there will be a choice of meeting points:
Either: 09.45, at the side entrance to Scottish Widows in Holyrood Park Road. This is across the road from the Commonwealth Pool car park. Note that other cycling groups often meet at the front of the Commonwealth Pool, so don't join the wrong group by mistake.
Or: 10.30, in front of the Harbour Café, at Fisherrow Harbour in Musselburgh.
As we will have a lot of miles to cover, we will be leaving promptly at the times mentioned above.
Our ride leader has worked out a very pleasant route for this outing. We'll be heading out along the coast, and returning by a more inland route. There will be a few moderate hills, but nothing too demanding. But there will also be several stretches along main roads, which might be busy with traffic.
The total distance will be about 36 miles for those starting from Musselburgh, or 50 miles for the Edinburgh contingent.
Remember, our Extra rides are faster than our usual second-Saturday runs, with fewer stops. Please bear that in mind when deciding if this ride will be suitable for you. Average speed is typically 11-13mph over these journeys.
There's no need to let anyone know if you are planning to come. Just turn up at your preferred meeting point.
