Nice bit of slow riding there!. There's another video which catches you passing Greyfriar's Bobby - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QgOIgCCA6U (at 5:19) I started quite far back - almost on Melville Drive. Don't think i ended up on any photos/vids. Thanks for the route tips. I've been out to the reservoirs on a mtb before, and my recent muni forays into Dalmeny Estate have given me confidence to try more ambitious muni rides. Ah, cool! Nice bit of slow riding there!.

I think there were only two of us. I was there too, on my 26" Muni ..... someone took a picture of me here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rxpell/6976451624/in/pool-1892284@N25/ There's also video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkHr5IrgMAk Look out for me 5m44s in! Next good place to go for off-road practice is along the Water of Leith, and then up near the Reservoirs, near Currie and Bonaly. It's a good place to hone skills at going up and down slopes on rough-ish terrain. After that, you can 'graduate' to the Mountain Bike trails at Glentress - the Green and Blue runs there are both rideable on one wheel. And they are only a 45 min drive south of Edinburgh.

Hope you don't mind. ;) Anyway, my question is... Where's the Alpe D'Huez write-up?? x (A more pedantic question might be why the blog is still titled and subtitled as it is, but hey, thankfully I'm not a pedantic kinda gal.....)

I read your blog in preparation for my own ride and it was very useful. I wonder if you, like me, are now thinking "what next?" We have a place in the South of France so maybe next year I'll ride from the North Sea (Calais) to The Med, which is a slightly shorter distance but the hills may be bigger! -- Cheers Mark Well done Andrew.
