The tricross would cope if i changed the tires but I dont like riding the upright more than 5 miles at a go, I just get annoyed at how uncomfortable it is.

I don't think we'll be repeating the Brunstane Burn mudfest / Prestonpans Seawall slimefest this time around. Not if I'm involved in route selection...

"Brunstane Burn mudfest"
Think that's dried out!
"Prestonpans Seawall slimefest"
Can't remember whose idea that was...
I'll be on slicks today.

Sharp eyed watchers may have noticed various photos from yesterday in other posts.
This one shows an amazing bit of fairly new infrastructure we came across. (NOT in Edinburgh...)
Not in proposal mentioned previously either -

CyclingThere are many routes suitable for cycling throughout the wider Estate including National Cycle Route 76 and the Union Canal towpath. Although we encourage and welcome visitors to arrive by bicycle, for conservation reasons and in consideration of others enjoying the walks in the core of the parkland around the house, cycling is not allowed within the grounds of Hopetoun.

Enjoyed Monday's ride so much that I went back and did it again (actually just Society to Blackness and back).

The "road to nowhere" after Winchburgh (coming from Kirkliston direction) actually goes somewhere. It's just not somewhere that's there anymore;
This is all that remains of the hamlet of Auldcathie.
My Dad tells me that the landscaped bing accessible from this road is where the remains of the VAT 69 blending / bottling plant at South Queensferry were carted off to when it was demolished.
