Ormiston and Polson Parks East Lothian

Please arrive at benches outside commonwealth pool for a 9.50am briefing. Around 30miles with some gentle bumps off road - not suitable for skinny slick tyres. We'll head through the innocent tunnel passing The Range,QMU, River Esk, Cowpits and Whitecraigs - before joining up with the Pencaitland rail track/path. After a while we'll turn off to Ormiston park -(play park & pump track). 100% optional if you choose to have a wee play (too early for lunch) Next we'll dissect the railpath & head up to Elphinstone avoiding the steps before cruising down some farm tracks through fields to find PICNIC spot in Polson park in Tranent. After lunch we'll head down the Waggon way towards Cockenzie, taking in a loop to Seton Sands for a toilet stop From here we follow the coast back to Edinburgh/Portobello - potentially ending the ride at Oscars/ ice-cream. I'll make sure everyone knows how to get back to Commie pool from there. Please ensure you bike is in roadworthy condition and bring a spare tube that fits your bike along with any tools required to remove your wheel if necessary.
