We're taking our tandem up to Edinburgh for a long weekend, staying at Malmaison in Leith. I'm looking for recommendations for a 30-40 mile route for a day, setting out from Leith, as traffic free as possible but (preferably) on metalled surfaces. We don't mind a bit of climbing...
Thanks in advance!

Re: Edinburgh
Hopefully there will be an expert along shortly but from Leith you can take the coastal path most of the way to Cramond and then head out over the Forth Road bridge. Maybe head down to Culross on the west fife cycleway.

Could do part of this.

I don't recommend heading to Dunbar on the John Muir Way. It's just a mud track in places.
Check out Spokes for more info around Edinburgh.

Re: Edinburgh
No probs.
If you still want more advice and it's not forthcoming here, might be worth asking on this forum.

It's been nearly 15 years since I lived in Edinburgh but these folk are much more up to date, and quite friendly too.
