New path in Pentlands

Having been off the bike for most of 5 weeks with illness and travel, it was great to go out again on Sunday for a short turn round the Pentlands. Still seem reasonably fit, but have to improve endurance to do the 5-6 hr rides in Spain in July. Went up Balerno to the top and turned left and over the the col above Dreghorn drop. instead of riding right the way down, I took the sheep path right traversing around the north of Allermuir
. Pretty steep drop, and long, which meant I kept unclipped for a while, but nice addition. Steep drop down to path that eventually does down to Dreghorn - would not like to do it in the wet.
