Bike Week Gormley Hunt

Our next We Love Leith Guided Bike Ride on June 26th happily coincides with Bike Week 2010. For this ride, we thought we'd add a bit of culture into the mix by going on a Gormley Hunt.

Recently, six Antony Gormley (he of Angel of the North Fame) sculptures have been installed along the Water of Leith. Our mission will be simple - to seek all six sculptures out and discover what they're wearing.

It turns out that this ride is almost exactly 10 miles long, and the vast majority of the route is on traffic free paths.We'll aim to stop for lunch at the Modern Art Gallery Cafe and/or picnic in the grounds outside.

As ever, everyone is welcome to attend, although children under 16 should be accompanied by a resposbile adult. A map of the route is shown below. More detail about the event is here and if you'd like more information, please do contact us.

Incidentally, the Bike Week people have sent us a whole load of garish freebies, which we'll be trying to offload on you and your children - you have been warned! There are also loads and loads of other events taking place in and around Edinburgh during Bike Week. You can find them on the Bike Week website.
