This is a slightly challenging route as it does involve main roads, as well as cycle paths. This a mainly flat route along the coast to Cockenzie House. However, due to the distance (28 miles) and small sections on busy main roads is classed as a challenging Breeze ride. So you should feel confident cycling in traffic. There are also sections on gravel paths that can be quite muddy. If it is a clear day you will be able to take in stunning views over to Fife and Arthur's Seat dominating the Edinburgh skyline. The route follows the canal towpath to Tollcross where we head through the cycle path in the Meadows. We cross over Clerk Street and pick up the dedicated cycle path towards the Innocent Railway path. We will sail down the Innocent railway to Brunstane and drop onto the Promanade at Portobello. Then we will have a short section on the main road between Portobello and Musselburgh. On the outskirts of Musselburgh we will pick up the John Muir Way to Prestonpans before another section on the maid road leading to Cockenzie House for Coffee :)
