A lovely scenic ride out through the Dalmeny Estate and to South Queensferry. If anyone would like to do a shorter route there is the option to take the train back from Dalmeny Station

This is a ride along the cycle path from Russell Road zig zags to Davidsons Mains and up and over Barnton and out past Cramond Brig followed by a wee climb before we turn into the lovely scenic Dalmeny Estate. After cycling through the estate and having some photo stops we will arrive at the 3 bridges in South Queensferry for coffee – Lovely bacon rolls optional! We will then walk up a slope to join the cycle path to Dalmeny and then head back towards the Cramond Brig and onwards to the Barnton Junction. We will cross some traffic lights on foot and then we will cycle on a path through East Craigs to Craigmount and then head to Balgreen where the ride will end although I will escort anyone parked at Russell Road back to there. This is a challenging ride with some slopes but I am planning on making this a steady ride with more stops than normal as the views are amazing

Lots of cycle paths and some quiet roads

I have booked a table at the 3 Bridges for 11.45am – breakfast served till 12 noon!

Bring money for coffee stop, gloves and warm socks as our hands and feet tend to feel the cold when cycling

We never leave anyone behind
