Today's @timesscotland.bsky.social features a picture from the Cateran Dirt Dash & the Cateran Ecomuseum on the cover of the Alba Magazine. A nice advert for this beautiful part of Scotland, which is the official home of Bikepacking Scotland. You can read more here: www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

A stunning morning to get out with the Edinburgh Dawn Patrol. A brisk 1°C today - and loved every moment of it. 5:40am every Tuesday/Thursday starting from St Andrew’s Square - or you can join in on route. I’m hoping to make it weekly now. Too good of a way to start the day.

Great fun to join #EdinburghDawnPatrol for an early cycle this morning #BikeSky #Edinburgh

Love to see Edinburgh Dawn Patrol starting to get column inches (and thanks to @edinburghminute.bsky.social for highlighting!)

For the early birds.

I love how the Edinburgh Dawn Patrol is growing. On Tue we had 15 riders, great to see! Thanks to @alastairdalton.bsky.social for his story in the @scotsman.com You can find links to story & route here www.instagram.com/edinburghdaw... Each Tue & Thu at 5.40am at St Andrew Square. See you there!

Into the sun we rode today to celebrate the Spring Equinox. Another incredible Dawn Patrol this morning and thanks to @alastairdalton.bsky.social for this nice article in the @scotsman.com - you can read it here www.scotsman.com/news/transpo... Join us each Tue & Thu at 5.40am at St Andrew Square.

Every Tuesday and Thursday:

Edinburgh Dawn Patrol - free for all - just rock up at St Andrew Square for a 5.40am start. A short teaser here: youtube.com/shorts/uHIqM... We'd love to see you joining us! The last ride before spring equinox, with 🥐 & ☕️ at Wellington Coffee afterwards. @edi.bike @edinburghminute.bsky.social

We started the Edinburgh Dawn Patrol half a year ago, modelled on the same event in Oslo. Today we were joined by @alastairdalton.bsky.social - and it was the first time we had 10 people riding jointly. Here's a short film on YT: youtube.com/shorts/uHIqM... - Join us at 5.40am each Tue & Thu!

Late start after a late night. Had to use old bike due to a brake break. Nice ride out to the west hitting a couple of the hardest climbs. A horse of course. Amazing sunset! #biking #cycling #scotland
