Edinburgh Adventuring with Brendan Reilly

This week we head to the North of the UK to take in some gentle rides in and around Edinburgh, Scotland.

This collection is before for those who are keen on a little bit of trainer tourism as they are a great window into the comings and goings of everyday Scottish life.

Each ride in this collection is pretty relaxed and flat, so get on the trainer and pedal away.

Thank you to first-time contributor Brendan Reilly for this collection.

ENTER EDINBURGH FROM THE EAST

Starting at a quiet fishing port this ride provides a lovely snapshot into day-to-day life in Scotland. Blue skies, quaint villages and a very flat route make it a lovely recovery ride.
