I was reading through articles in the local rag about this issue, and the last word (March 2014) was that the landowner was having second thoughts about letting the work go ahead.</p> <p>Alternatively you can carry on along the road through Whitekirk. It carries you in roughly the same direction. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15455#post-199185 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 15:08:37 +0000 chdot 199185@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nice route really</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/vhVHT3"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/299/19225892028_983cbf5a7b.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15455#post-199184 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 15:06:16 +0000 chdot 199184@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Or push as required</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/vi3NkB"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/393/19227272809_2e5565ef9b.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15455#post-199183 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 15:03:18 +0000 chdot 199183@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>3 months ago -</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/vi3KsT"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/422/19227263139_5d45a746c7.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15455#post-199182 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 14:57:13 +0000 SRD 199182@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I suppose the other option would be to invest in some cyclocross tyres - anyone have some 24" ones I could borrow? or for sale? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15455#post-199179 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 14:46:27 +0000 paulmilne 199179@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Check the date on the photo: 2010.

It's basically a path over a field. There was a plan to make it into a proper bike path a couple of years back but it was shot down by some locals and horse riders who thought it would spoil the ambience or something. Anyway, I think it was surfaced with some acceptable material, but not having actually ridden it I'm not sure about the suitability for your bikes. </p> <p>Have a look at and post your query on the Dunbar Cycling Group's facebook page, others there will have better knowledge than I.</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/DunbarCycling" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/DunbarCycling</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15455#post-199160 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 13:32:58 +0000 SRD 199160@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Some friends are interested in cycling the John Muir way from Dunbar to North Berwick. Would be a group of us with several kids and a mix of bike types. </p> <p>Does anyone know the 'green' route as marked here <a href="http://johnmuirway.org/route/north-berwick-dunbar" rel="nofollow">http://johnmuirway.org/route/north-berwick-dunbar</a> (which, I think?) is the same as the red route on the downloadable pdf)</p> <p>is suitable for road bikes/ our tandem? </p>
