Balerno and Two Reservoirs

Hi All
Sunday’s ride is a short, leisurely spin of 20 miles.
Meeting on the cycle path on the west side of the bridge at Roseburn at 9.50 for a 10 am departure, we will head out via Carrick Knowe, South Gyle, Edinburgh Park to Heriot Watt for a toilet stop if required.
Then, we will head up to Currie and through back roads to reach Balerno. From there, it’s Harlaw Road and the potholed track to the lovely Clubbiedean and Torduff reservoirs.
We will head back via Colinton and Water of Leith Path. Our end point is Saughton Park where there is a hatch in the Garden Café for takeaway coffee/snacks where riders can take refreshment before heading home.
Do remember to disperse in groups of a maximum of 2 households. There are also toilets available. Total of 19 miles and it’s another 1.5 miles back to the start. The strava route below will take you back to Roseburn but do ask if you need directions.
