About the route

Starting point

EH16 4TD

Starting at Bridgend, we head straight into the Braids and uphill to the top. Enjoy the flow of the downhill ride.

For the more experienced mtb rider this ride takes us up quite a steep climb and through the Wee Braids Golf Club for a stunning view towards Arthur’s Seat and beyond. The downhill is ‘slightly technical’ but can also be walked down. Beginners welcome but must be riding a mountain bike.

Gravel, grass, low rocks, road

We shall stop at the top but save our coffee stop for Bridgend Farm at the end.

Must wear long bottoms and long sleeves are recommended. Helmet a must.

We shall take our time with this route and walk up some of the steeper parts if necessary. We won’t leave anyone behind.
