High 5: Ken Murray

Ken Murray, 46, from Shandon, is a software engineer. He picks his favourite bike rides in and around Edinburgh.

1 The Pentlands It's great to be able to get into real hills. Enough variety of routes to keep me happy, good climbs, and descents.

2 National Cycle Route 1 Nice quiet backroads lead out of town towards the Moorfoots. Great views of the city on the way back.

3 City centre to Leith A brilliant freewheel most of the way down.

4 Roseburn Cycle Path This used to be my cycle to work. It was good to be able to get off the roads.

5 Home to Shandon from my office in Moray Place Always a winner, regardless of the route or the weather!
