I just wondered if there were any secret ways I didn't know of!</p> <p>I quite like the idea of starting out along the North Edinburgh cycle path - I'm starting from near Tynecastle stadium so that's ideal. I'll definitely try that sometime. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11385#post-128908 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 10:48:54 +0000 kaputnik 128908@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>E - surface on Hamilton Place so bad it might as well be cobbled! I'm usually visiting a friend in St. Stephen Street, so thats where my impossibility stems from. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11385#post-128906 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 10:46:26 +0000 chdot 128906@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"this might be one of the routes linked to above"</p> <p>First one (via Ravelston Dykes). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11385#post-128900 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 10:43:22 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 128900@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Surely just cut across to Orchard Brae by whatever route and turn right at the roundabout at the bottom. Job's a good 'un (this might be one of the routes linked to above, but I can't access anything!). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11385#post-128899 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 10:41:25 +0000 chdot 128899@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Is it possible to get into Stockbridge without riding over cobbles?"</p> <p>From W, N or E </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11385#post-128895 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 10:30:54 +0000 kaputnik 128895@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is it possible to get into Stockbridge without riding over cobbles?

I do not like cycling on cobbles. I don't want to use the Water of Leith path. </p> <p>Route suggestions, please? I'll happy cycle on any (legal) road, so quietness isn't a requirement. Lack of cobbles is!</p> <p>(Yes I know I should say setts.) </p>
