(I was sticking to the path network where I could). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7659#post-78114 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 11:09:58 +0000 Darkerside 78114@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ended up cycling across to St Andrews last Thursday for a chunk of the International Sax Congress, and then back as far as Linlithgow on the Friday. Blimey, the A91 is a dull, dull road. Hedges either side so there's no view, very few villages to break it up, and loads of lorries. Fife Coastal Route by contrast is pretty pleasant.</p> <p>Thoroughly confused by the bridges though. Had to resort to a detailed look at OSM to dig out how to join the cyclepath for the Forth Road Bridge, and had similar issues with the Kincardine. I don't mind cycling on dual carriageways, but I'm not keen on joining them just as they stop being a motorway...</p> <p>Still, didn't get rained on once. Result! </p>
