Just had a look. Cycling is banned from the A199/B6370 roundabout westwards. East of there you should have been OK, as there's no signage. Did you join at the Spott Road roundabout or at the A199/B6370 roundabout?

Hi. Delayed reply. Tbh I'm not sure where I joined. Cops were fine but firm. And of course my corrected route in from Haddington via Musselborough was fine. I'd just had enough of coastal views and was needy to finish. Ah well it all adds to the story which I will write up. It was a great ride and I'm missing getting on the bike in the morning. And the breakfasts! Edinburgh was busy as a place can be...a scrum in Old Town. Fabulous in the sunshine.

Made it today. But not without incident. In an ill-conceived effort to quicken the journey I joined the A1. At Dunbar only to be pulled over by police. Apparently cycling on the A1 bypass is illegal. Anyway I was escorted off...not by a police car with blue lights flashing but a walking officer in hi-viz. Tad embarrassing if I'm honest. Anyway no harm done. I'm here. Is it a first? Single speed London to Edinburgh by a 61 year old dad with a cardiac pacemaker and screwed together pelvis? Sod it. I'm claiming it. Thanks for following. Mel
