sunday coastal trailride

big day out yesterday on the coast...
still raining as i left 9am and rode 8 miles on the road on the pugsley enjoying the easterly tailwind,
i was going to visit my parents at lunchtime after a morning riding a few trails west of where they stay on the coast,a few pics from the day...


the rain had went off so i stuck the camera on to film some trails...plenty water about...



i rode up to the 1745 battle of prestonpans monument then down to the cockenzie power station...









WW2 coastal defence anti-tank blocks lifted from aberlady bay and nature reserve were used in the foundations of the power station when built in the 1960s...

a concrete coastal path leads to port seaton harbour...


the promenade...there was an open air swimming pool here until the 1980s...





onto a nice mile or so sandy singletrack above the coast...filmed again...



midday now it was up to the parents for an hour for lunch then headed again east along the coast for lowtide at 1.30pm...

still 9 miles to go out across the reserve and onto north berwick and home..a big day out,nearly 45 miles on the pug...love it...

  2. Hey, take it easy flying over those wet wooden bridges. I was tensing-up just watching the video!
