Enjoyed that rather a lot. A refreshingly different ride. Good beer to mileage ratio (although staying for another was seriously tempting) and some of that was interesting on skinny tyres.
cheers folks.

Sounds like a good night. Was it out through Queensferry, then pickup the canal through Broxburn to the Bridge Inn?
Will definitely tag along for this sometime if I can get some lights and leave work on time. Having ridden through Dalmeny on my own in the dark before though, it can be an interesting experience (hence I now turn around on my midweek ride at Cramond Brig).
The confused owl sitting in a bush at head height 3ft from the trail was a definite highlight.
Think I won 'least appropriately dressed for the pub' looking like the Black Lycra Assassin..
The owl that flew in front of me was amazing.
The ladies in the bar loved us (and my now retired moustache) so much they said 'thanks guys' when we left. We must have been buff.

Thru the dalmeny estate to Queensferry along the shore, old railway line to newbridge, sneaky cut thru to the canal to the west of ratho with a visit to the bridge inn on the way back to edinburgh
Gutted that I couldn't make this one, sounds pretty amazing, never seen an owl before!
Paul - I took a photo;

WHats happening this week? Alasdair suggested Transition @ Ocean Terminal on little bikes - I'm keen, but I'm worried about TJs motorbike-tuned reflexes.
Suit yourself - I'm in for the pub quiz at the Bridge Inn!!
Not wanting to steal TBC's thunder and start a new thread, so:
I'm game for something offroad, be it on the Cx bike (fast n'easy) or the Charge (slow and bumpy).
Haven't got a wee bike and would spanner myself horribly at transition anyway, sorry Jimmy!
Jimmy, i'm going to have nightmares now. that thing is creepy!
Oh yeah, i'm not coming out to play again this week.
