coastal cycling in East Lothian, Scotland and related outdoor interests
Wednesday 28 April 2021
A cycle to Tyninghame,
Chris visited now restrictions allow to travel through regions in Scotland and his first beach ride in a year!
After a brew we headed down to the coast to cross the Biel burn and headed into John Muir Park through the woods and onto the John Muir Way towards Tyninghame village...
The F...
Google Perspection... yep there is no such word!...
And the A...
Gravel bike? nah we just ride Fat and plus wheels around here!
Nice old Moggie...
Down through Binning Woods...
And out to Peffersands...
Down the beach and out to Willowbrae Point...
Wee film to here, Song is Learn To Fly (Maceo`s Flight Home Mix) by Odd Parents
Back into the woods and onto the Secret Trail, first time I have cycled it for a while and it's more like the `Secret Motorway` now! due to the Pandemic Pedestrians...
Wee film again of the ST, Song is `American Dream` by Jakatta,
Time to head home and back to the John Muir Way (JMH) and around the beaches, it was real soft with the mid tides with only a 2.2 meter low tide and 4.5 meter high tide means the sand does not really drain and the going gets a bit of a slog even with 5" tyres on 100mm rims and my legs were feeling it once we left the beach!
Onto the sands of the retreating tide...
Down the beach to Belhaven and the going was soft being mid tides the last few days...
Belhaven Bridge, aka The Bridge To Nowhere being tidal...
I took the bridge while Chris forded the Biel burn downstream where it is more shallow...
Home to sit sheltered in the back garden and drink coffee and scoff biccies in the sun out of the cool onshore easterly, a great catch up cycle with Chris and were looking forward to more cycling again soon...
And a third film of the days cycle, Song is `Alright` by Tycho,
I live in East Lothian, S.E. Scotland.
I fill my time with my hobbies, interests and passions. Often cycling along the coast here. I ride steel bikes with big wheels, I like to enjoy all interests of the coast, Its scenery, wildlife, local history, with my other interests in art and music when out and about...
I was diagnosed with Relapsing remitting Multiple Sclerosis in August 2018, it`s early days but i plan to continue to live my life as i have and show that having a medical condition like MS does not mean you need to stop enjoying your life,
Please excuse the bad grammar, i am working on it!
