What to Bring
• Two spare inner tubes (right size for your tyres) and tools to remove your wheels if they are not quick-release and/or a means of getting home if needed e.g. friend/taxi.
• Water and snacks. We intend to stop at Newhailes for snack break at the outdoor seating behind the house. This makes it easy for you to choose whether to bring a snack or purchase something in the nearby courtyard cafe
• Cash/card for any purchases during or at/the end of the ride
• Weather appropriate clothing - Consider waterproofs/gloves - layers are best!
