Where do Tranent riders do their motorcycle training?
From Tranent, Prestonpans, Cockenzie and Port Seton or Macmerry the A1 takes you straight on to the bypass, which you follow west to the Straiton junction.
East Lothian has some of the best riding roads near Edinburgh. If you already ride on a CBT, Direct Access opens up the coast road and the routes over the Lammermuirs on a bike with the power to enjoy them.
