Coast kid - no need to make it easier on my behalf - we are used to lifting over gates and stuff and all bar your "secret trail" was totally tandem friendly. We both thoroughly enjoyed the day out

Think the loop i do from Longniddry out to Gullane hill and back through the local estates with some coastal scenery would be right up the Tandem`s [s]street[/s] trail ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
HH and Co can verify that route, be good to do soon when the Geese are at Aberlady Bay...

Well done with the videos Bruce, well edited too, you wouldn't think there were any gates.

I know for a *fact* that Bruce uses only Microsoft products because of the founder's surname.

Aye, and folk that ride clown bikes have a different measurement for distance. Unfortunately they still insist on calling a mile. Think they may even have a different measurement for time too.

LOL ๐Ÿ˜† Imperial measuring is still used in my Job im afraid..we measure in Yardage and turf by the yard..even though it is now bought metric-and OS maps are in KM! ,
The mile corner at Gosford bay where Andy got chainsuck to Aberlady Church gates is a measured mile-and was used by RAF Drem Spitfires in WW2 for calibration speed runs (bet you didnt know that!).
time is of the essence... ๐Ÿ˜ฎ i just ride till sunset then if need be switch on lights!..never owned a watch ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
so....Rob is gonna organise a Sunday ride a week on Sunday-the 10th October for his birthday...
so maybe pencil in Sunday 17th October for a rideout from Longniddry Rail station car park...there is a tidy cafe on our return at [url= http://www.gosfordfarmshop.co.uk/ ]Gosford bothy[/url]
where we can park bikes and sit sweaty bodies outside...

Is that a real mile or an "East lothian mile"?

I think I'm up north on the 17th for a wedding. I'm going to try and visit the Golspie Wildcat trails while i'm up there. I'm definitely up for one of your runs soon though for sure.

Sorry I missed the ride. I live in Aberlady and ride / run many of trails mentioned - really good for a blast.

Can't make the 17th ๐Ÿ™ but this if becomes a regular event I'd love to catch up, especially if anyone fancies finding some new trails around here or in the Lammermuirs.
