Airth Pineapple

We meet at 9.50 am for a 10 am departure on Roseburn  Bridge  where it crosses Roseburn Terrace.

Cycle path and roads to the toilets on South Queensferry High street. Across the FRB and onto NCN route 76 which we follow to the Clackmannanshire Bridge. Cross the bridge, through  Airth and then to the NTS Pineapple grounds for a picnic lunch. From memory there are no seats in the grounds so bring something to sit on. 53km

After lunch we retrace through Airth and rejoin NCN 76 to Kinneil House, Bo’ness, Borrowstoun Road, Kirkliston, Conifox café (?), then back to the Roseburn bridge. 54km

Please ensure your bike is roadworthy, and that you carry 2 spare inner tubes and tools.

Please ride in groups of around 6-8, on busier roads, with adequate gaps between groups to allow traffic to safely slot in after overtaking. 

 

While experienced group members will always give assistance and advice to other riders ultimately you are responsible for yourself and making your own way home.  Hopefully no-one would be left in a situation of not knowing how to get home.

No attendance sheet will be completed instead text your name to my mobile number (above).  The ride is primarily for Cycling UK members.  However, non-members are welcome to attend, but would be expected to join Cycling UK after 3 rides.
