22.15 mi in 01:48:32 hours at 12.25 mi/h on Bianchi Nironne 7. [Cycling] Went for a bit of a ride around Edinburgh but as I don't have my lead with me I can't sse the exact route - my garmin reckons I reached 76.19 mph - sure I would have remembered that !! I left York St and headed up to the royal Mile via Waverley to pick up some tickets - then down to Holyrood and around Arthurs Seat. Just near the Olympic Pool I picked up with National Cycle Route 1 to Musselburgh and it went underground through a 1/4 mile long tunnel which was an old railway called the Innocent tunnel - I even video'd it for my blog.
Anyway out to portobello and back via Leith I took some great photos which again will go on my blog as will the full route when I upload it.
