Cycling across the Braid Hills today, the gorse out, the raindrops shining and the wind dropping enough to light a candle for Andy. Always shining.
Check www.storybikes.co.uk for tours. Storybikes offers guided cycle tours in Edinburgh, usually of 3.5 hours length. Bespoke tours can also be arranged.
Week long tours are scheduled for The Scottish Borders, Galloway, and Hadrians Wall in 2013. We stop for stories along the way - myths, legends, humour and history - which allows us to immerse ourselves more fully in the landscape.

It is with great sadness I have to announce that Andy died suddenly in January. It is unclear at this time what the future of StoryBikes will be. However, we would state that there will be no tours run for the foreseeable future. Thank you for your understanding at this very difficult time for Andy's family.

The red sky this morning was fortunately not a shepherds' warning. We had a fine day for the last cycle tour of the year.

A lovely day for the Edinburgh 20-miler ride today, though given the shortness of midwinter days we didn't do as much as 20 miles today. Some of us walked some short stretches where the paths were more slippy - I was impressed by Jim's Continental Top Contact Winter tyres. Worth having if you do much winter cycling.

A short holiday in Ljubljana last week - and of course, a guided bike tour of the city with Primož of Ljubljana Bike Tour
And we were there at the right time to see the Christmas lights, which are stunning.
