We had a good day and are glad we came! Those that couldn't make it missed a fun ride.
I liked going through the grounds of Hopetoun house where we saw a herd of fallow deer. Heather liked the stop for Greggs! And she also enjoyed the fast off road section into Charlestown. Our fat tyres came in handy there
!
I recorded our route on my GPS and have posted it on Everytrail where I also attached the "team" photo.
We picked up a few tips along the way and for us its not just n+1, but N=(n+1)x2. I think both our Christmas lists may include "road bike".
Thanks again for a great day and waiting for us at the hills.
PS. We didn't get lost, we were exploring alternative destinations.

Sounds like a great day was had by the Fab Four, route looks good and will certainly be giving it a try out for myself.

after Hopetoun/Abercorn - it takes you to the Linlithgow road ... then ceases 
. We carried on to Liligow, then took A706 up a nice gently climb to the road opp Golf Course, past road to Wester Muirhouse. Picked up NCN 76 signs thereafter, until ..... Limekilns, where the sign says to turn left up an MTB track - this was where
You shold continue on till the next opportunity to turn left and it takes you to the road to Rosyth.

BTW are we sticking with the last weekend of the month? If so, will that be 24th/25th or Sat 31st?

Probably let the weather decide .......
You can decide on the day. Myself and Chris are doing it anyway if anyone else turns up its a bonus. We have a second route as a back up. I will do route sheets and because it is aimed at beginners I plan to lead a group at a stately pace (13 - 14 mph) with the mantra no one will be left behind. Those who want to race off and play away can do that as well.
The idea is to introduce the less fast to distance cycling without making it like a compeditive club run.
The idea is based on something myself discussed with Noodley (who was kind enough to keep me on the right road) on the Potter for Tea; an Audax type event with guides as a spring board to having a go at a formal event.
