Reasonably overcast Saturday and Lorraine was working in the morning so we went for a wee (!) back ride in the afternoon. There was definitly mention of wanting to go up round the reservoirs at the top of Balerno so off we set on our usual Water of Leith Path from Saughton Park to Balerno. We came off it at Currie Kirk and climbed up what seemed like mount everest before the gentler slopes of the reservoir and then the speedy descent into Balerno itself off the East Rigg.
Thats are route out in the above link. We knew Mum was away anyway but cup of tea and a choccie biscuit helped us on our way back home via the Water of Leith path again.
21.5 miles according to my cycle computer thingummy doodah. I’ll update the google route or add a return one in later.

->Update
Including the route back only comes out at 20.715 miles. I didn’t click on every single curve with the google map thing so might account for the extra 0.75 miles? Or my cycle computer is slightly out – which wouldn’t surprise me.
