Gravel Rides Edinburgh, Fife & the Lothians: 15 Gravel Bike Adventures Around Scotland's Capital City (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781839812996)

This book presents fifteen gravel rides around Scotland's capital area, detailing distances, routes, and practical planning for cyclists.

Gravel Rides Edinburgh, Fife & the Lothians showcases 15 of the best gravel bike rides around Scotland's capital city and beyond. Covering East, West and Midlothian and crossing the Firth of Forth into the Kingdom of Fife, the rides range from 17 to 89 kilometres, plus a challenging 244-kilometre bonus route.

Explore charming fishing villages and the industrial heritage of the Fife coast, follow the 1722 Waggonway - Scotland's oldest railway - in East Lothian, or venture into the wild Pentland and Lomond hills. Take on an alternative Edinburgh bypass created with round-the-world cycling record holder Mark Beaumont, or tackle a multi-day bikepacking adventure inspired by the Rough Stuff Fellowship.

Researched, ridden and written by Edinburgh local and Bikepacking Scotland founder Markus Stitz, the routes feature clear and easy-to-use Ordnance Survey maps; easy-to-follow directions; details of distance, timings and difficulty gradings; stunning action photography; refreshment stops and local knowledge; and a detailed appendix. Also included is a link to downloadable GPX files.
