Hello again guys
My partner and myself r new to cycling
We've tried a few routes - favourite is Broxburn to FountainBridge which is in Edinburgh and is around a 25 mile return trip which is perfect for us being beside the canal with great scenery and being quite flat with a couple of tricky bits
We're looking for something similar in the West Lothian/Edinburgh/Falkirk
Anybody got any ideas?
Hoping you can all help

Hi!
Edinburgh to Linlithgow along the canal is lovely: follow the route from the Meadows. Linlithgow itself is lovely too, exit the canal just above the train station.
Falkirk wheel to Glasgow or to the Kelpies is good too.
The in between bit (Linlithgow to Falkirk) is full of stone flints and muddy but ridable.
Did you know the cycle route from Bathgate takes you to Glasgow, I have not ridden this yet.

Hiya
Thanks for all that info
I've done all those routes you mentioned and enjoyed them all, especially the linlithgow to Falkirk wheel one.
The Livingston to Airdrie one interests me definitely though
Love Livingston live in Bathgate so no probs there
I'll get the cycling booklet
Thank again
Appreciated
