Another Sunday easy ride with tea/coffee/cake after...
Meet again at Drem Rail Station for an 11am rideout,
this time a shorter route than last time due to shortening daylight/unreliable weather-being November-weve had it too good!
This time ride North to Dirlton and down to Yellowcraigs then along to North Berwick and around below NB Law and out to Seacliff to trail above the coast to Tyninghame again and along the secret trail, (tandems/CX bikes can go straight up the proper trail this time as easier to rejoin at the secret trail end), then we will do a bit more this time around Binning Woods before tea/coffee/cake along at My man cave. Around 70% offroad and only the 1 techy trail,4 gates i think!
whatever the weather this route is always dry and getting a bit cool to sit outside cafes so garage stop near end will be ideal...
If we get good weather then cracking coastal views at Yellowcraig (Fidra),North Berwick sea front, Seacliff,and again at the cabin at Tyningham,
if we get crap weather then at least dry trails being sand/loam soil,
see you if you can make it,all welcome 😮
Again the North Berwick train leaves Waverly at 10:33am stopping at Drem 10:56am
return trains at half past ever hour....
Sounds good - as many techy bits as you can throw in 😀 It's mileage i'm rubbish at!
Could always make it 10am?
Hope to make it
I'll put it in my diary! 🙂
hmmm how many miles we talking here?
around 20-25 miles...easy miles 😮
Hope to be along if conditions allow, Bruce; what all-enclosing chain guard for sandy-beach riding...?
no beach riding Rob, all above coast again 😮
will keep an eye on this, last one was a blast!
And removed from diary again; almost forgot I'll be on a stag do in Mabie. Next time!
Bump...for kobra2771 😮
Can't make this one. 🙁
Coastkid, these rides sound great and I hope to make one (on the CX bike I think) but we'll be in Kintail up the Five Sisters this weekend. Hope to see you on the next one!

Last big rideout was great
Hope to make this!
Cheeky Laddie?
Bear in mind, i have no idea what these cycles are like, so have to ask peoples opinions, they wont be everyones cup of tea i assume.
Looked at the pictures, looks awfully tame for me, thanks anyway.
The big rides lately on here i try to make easy as theres alot of faffing at stops etc in a big group...
so these rides (i try) to make it easy going with a few real nice trails thrown inbetween to keep it interesting...social riding is the theme...
though some real lung busting stuff can be had up the lammy (Lammermuir) Hills... 😉
Nice to see everyone smiling in the photos i looked at.
Sorry Kobra - maybe that was a bit out of order without context. Asking if a ride is recommended came across a bit odd to me.
Its no black route and these large rideouts are intended as social rides. Good fun tho and there allways has been a good mix of stuff. A good ride has 3 things, good compamny, good trails and good scenery - its just the mix that varies. These tend to be heavy on the company and scenery but enough in the trails to keep you interested
Going to give it a miss unfortunately, last race of the Formula 1 is on at 1pm on Sunday.
Lammermuirs sound good Bruce!
I'm going to make this one, what with North Berwick being my ancestral home...
Just home from a beachride and along some of tomorrows trails,
despite last weeks downpour the coastal trails are bone dry 😮

Also had a word with the weather man and he promised to drop the howling wind tomorrow and give us some coastal mist in the morning and clear skys mid afternoon...happy days 😮
got lots of cake in stock and HH got you some nice coffee 😉
i know some of the stars cant make it but see everyone else tomorrow at 11am who can make it 😮
Hey Coastie, me and a friend will be coming along, looking forward to it.
To all - I will be driving, have room in vehicle for another 3 people + bikes, so if you want a lift from Easter Road in Edinburgh, let me know.
Not going to make It as between work and the odd ride out Ive hardly spent a weekend day with the family , so looks like ill be taking them swimming somewhere. Have a blast and hope the weather stays good. Look forward to seeing the pics with your new camera.
Mrs TJ don't want to play so no tandemeering. I might well come tho - by train / solo bike
be good to see you TJ,Paul will catch up next week...and see you tomorrow Chris 😮
good old weather forcast eh?
Rains bouching off the ground,is clearing from out to sea.a cold 3 degrees easterly breeze,to be dry midday,clear 3 pm, wrap up everyone coming out today!
looking like full winter waterproofs!
Still better than staying indoors!
I'll be along and will see how long I last; it now seems I have 'manflu'. 🙁
i will bring along car and if need be ferry any train arrivals along to the man cave for a pre ride brew while weather clears then do a shorter loop out to Seacliff if need be..play it by ear as they say 😮
buggeration. I made the effort to go, all kitted up in the waterproofs, the train broke down - leaving me too late to cycle out
Arrgghhhh
Despite heavy rain prior to start time we made a day of it and it turned out ok,well done all 5 who made it...sorry your train was cancelled TJ...
and really sorry Andreas who i just got your mail once home and you had started to cycle out after the train breakdown news and we left without you... 😳
will be a contact number for anyone in same position next time...
HH hope the cold clears up soon,good effort!.
we still did the intended route and everyone stayed warm and dry(ish).
Been some rain last night and this morning before we set off,
be interesting to see the rain gauge at work tomorrow 😮
Thanks guys. You were all perfect gentlemen waiting for me 🙂
Can't beleive how much cake you made me eat! 😉
Thanks for another great day Coastie, trails, tea, and cake!
