If the PM fancy the above I've got next Sunday free to have a look at the route, and camp sites.

The route is, a relatively short, 125 miles but as you can see from the map it is tweakable. Maybe staying on the A68 up to Melrose, and picking up the A7 down thro' Melrose and Selkirk. Ideally I'd like to fit in a slight detour to Keilder Water for one of the breaks. Still really good biking roads for those of you who know them. Ride time would be about 4 hours plus breaks plus the the 'usual' allowance for a large, marshalled, group. 10:00am start would see people filtering back to the site from 3:00pm onwards.

Ideally, for camping I'd rather a site relatively close to the A69 to give those travelling long distances from the south, a) any easier finish to the journey up and, b) an easier start to their journey back home.

If you PM'ers think we can do it, emphasis on "we," I don't mind putting a proposal together for the Org.
