Stage seven of the Tour d\\u2019\\xc9cosse is as close to the traditional transitional stage as it\\u2019s possible to get. The route avoids the Bathgate Alps and takes the low route from Glasgow to Edinburgh.
\\n
\\nIn Lionel and Simon\\u2019s defence they have to go via Livingston Football Club\\u2019s Tony Macaroni Arena. It\\u2019s a beautiful, quiet ride offering time for reflection and reminiscence before they reach the outskirts of the Scottish capital, Edinburgh.
\\n
\\nSimon visits the Caledonian Brewery before they reach the home of Heart of Midlothian and then it\\u2019s on to Hibernian and a glimpse of some Sunshine on Leith.
