Oops, the chain came off twice, and I still need to master the folding and unfolding of the "Trooper" and learn how to dismantle the front wheel - solo.
The neverending change of the play of light with the firth and low-tide sand-patterns matched the whizz of the tyres as I pedalled adjacent to the Firth of the Forth between Cramond and Granton. From there I turned back to Silverknowes, D'Mains, I peddalled as fast as I could up and down and around the beautiful Barnton Park: the tall trees are still bearing their summer leaves.

My camera needs to be taken in for repairs, so I can only claim the 4th image of a flock of Curlews doing their rounds high up in the sky above Cramond Island and Shore.
It is down this road I reached the maximum speed of 26.5 mph - flying (for me).
The Curlew presented as quite a character - on the RSPB website
At last - my own photo of a flock fo Curlews doing their rounds above the Cramond Island.
This is exactly where I cycled - but no frost on the boulders - thankfully!
Today's cycle route ended with a forest ride and fast speeds alongside big summer trees.
