The ride on Sunday is to Vogrie Country Park where we will have a late lunch.
We meet at Fisherrow Harbour at 9.50 am for a 10 am start and head out via the coast road as far as Cockenzie before turning up to Tranent where there will be an opportunity for a loo stop.
Then its onto Ormiston and Humbie via the B 6371, as we are having a late lunch at Vogrie there will be the oportunity for a quick refuel at the Humbie Hub if required it will be too busy and a little early for lunch. Refreshed we head on to Fala village and Fala Dam before a short stretch on the A68 (footpath available to cycle on) and a pretty section on the Tyne Esk Trail before finally reaching Vogrie –24miles
The cafe in the park offers a selection of soup ,sandwiches and hot drinks there are also picnic tables for those who choose to bring a picnic.
With all the hard work over the afternoon is an easy ride back to Fisherrow via Edghill ,Dalkeith and Route 1. –Total Mileage 36miles.

Sunday’s weather forecast is for light rain and a gentle breeze.
Riding in a group requires consideration for others in the group and the leader and back marker. Our riding guidelines are essential reading prior to coming out on the ride to ensure safety for yourself and the other riders. At any turns make sure the person behind sees you and on busier roads please maintain a a sizeable gap between groups of 5 or 6 cyclists.
Please take note of my phone number 07855452415 in case you get separated from the group. https://www.cyclinguk.org/group/page/guidelines-safe-r
Please make sure your bike is roadworthy and that you have 2 spare inner tubes and basic tools to change an inner tube. You will need to have water, a packed lunch, money for coffee/lunch stop and a bike lock. Remember you are riding at your own risk and whilst the group will always try to help out as best as possible, you are responsible for looking after yourself and getting yourself home.
I look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
