Explorer Rides: 2nd Saturday of the month. A series of interesting rides around East Lothian, aiming to cover 20-30 miles and new experiences. The rides are mainly on road but with some easy off road sections. Text Mark on 07914 602 123 for details. These rides leave from Shore Road carpark at 09.30
Cycle Tour: Depending on COVID. We’re hoping to do the 4 Abbeys tour in the Borders on the weekend of 8/9th May 2021. Meet at Tweedbank – there is a half hourly service from Edinburgh Waverley so if there are too many bikes for one train we can wait at Tweedbank. Text Mark on 07731 659 260 to join in.
The 4 Abbeys cycle route is 55 miles in total, but we will add on a little to reach the youth hostel in Kirk Yetholm where we are staying on the night of the 15th. Accommodation approx £18-20 depending on sharing https://www.hostellingscotland.org.uk/hostels/kirk-yetholm/and cycling around 25 easy miles to Kirk Yetholm hostel. We will either eat a communal meal or there is a pub in the village.
Please note that rides may be modified or cancelled at the last minute due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. For this reason it is important to contact the organiser at least 24 hours beforehand so that they can keep you informed of any changes.
