The local bike ride

The bike ride we often do at night locally takes us from Loanhead along an old railway line which is now a walking/cycle path to the village of Roslin. Apparently in bygone days Roslin was a very important place in the Lothians but its best known now for the Rosslyn Chapel, made famous by author Dan Brown's book The Da Vinci Code.
On the way to Roslin we cross the River Esk on an old railway bridge several hundred feet above the river, quite a spectacular view.
Also just outside Roslin is the laboratory where Dolly the Sheep was cloned, there are dark rumours that they are trying to clone some local mountain bikers for posterity's sake.........
