Aberdour and back by bike or by train

Join me for a lovely bike ride out to Aberdour. Starting from the Russell Road zig zags we will head along the cycle path to Silverknowes and over Barnton then onwards to South Queensferry. Crossing the very quiet Forth Road Bridge we will then follow a mix of cycle paths and roads through Inverkeithing and on to Dalgety Bay making use of some of the Fife Coastal Path. We will stop in Aberdour for some lunch at McTaggarts Cafe which is lovely! You then have a choice of retracing our route back to Edinburgh or jumping on a train home, it is entirely up to you and whatever you decide to do is absolutely fine with me! The route is 18 miles each way. If you decide to cycle back there is always the option of a train from Dalmeny. Otherwise, its back to our start point and a total 36 miles. This is a mix of hilly and flat parts and is suitable for all bike types although a couple of rough parts only suitable for confident road bikers.
