What sort of mileage are you looking at?
There's the round the Forth cycle route. Go under the old road bridge past Port Edgar marina and keep going. Take you to Hopetoun house, Blackness Castle, Bo'ness. Then through Grangemouth, which is a bit crap. You cross to the north shore on either the Kincardine or Clackmannshire bridge's. The ride through Culross to Limekilns is very nice. You finish via the old road bridge.

Out to Beecraigs Country Park through Winchburgh & Faucheldean is good.
The Cammo loop is short but nice too, Dalmeny, enjoy the descent into South Queensferry & out to Hopetoun House.
If you like hilly routes, West Lothian Clarion have a good map of what are locally known as 'The Bathgate Alps.' http://www.westlothianclarion.co.uk/bathgate-alps.html
Not sure what the Union Canal towpath is like these days.
All the best & enjoy the bike!

i quite often go through the Dundas estate, up to winchbourgh, broxburn.
I known again go down to the sea front and back, but just i prefer single track routes aswell, like through woody areas

Ok, didn't realize you were young. You could ask your parents if it's ok to go along to Hopetoun house. The road is traffic free along by the shore line. You'd have to come back by the same route.

I've moved this as I don't think rides of an hour or so really qualify as touring.
They would if you were a youngster

I used to go out all day at 16 on my Raleigh Road Ace - and we didn't have phones. My mum just expected me back when I got back.
