Ok guys how do you fancy heading out for a wee run on the 8th of May. 1st is a bank holiday weekend so we might be better doing family stuff and avoiding all the traffic.
Similar idea leave the start point at 10 am and have a ride of about 180 miles... I was thinking about starting at the Falkirk Wheel and try to get some nice photos of the bikes near it. the provisional route is; http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&so...84&ie=UTF8&z=9 Now half the time things can change slightly on the day but hopefully not. I have riders at the moment as The Guru Suicidesam (to get legs slapped) Blueflame (weather permitting) Stramasher Weegieblue Bibio (late meeting maybe Peebles) Carelesschucca Siii (moffat)

had to laugh at your poll - well done!
I was at Moffat on Sunday - tha A701 is on form, not too badly pot-holed at all. You could take the run along St Mary's Loch, though that means you only do the Beef Tub (A701) one direction. Map...Maybe |

i took a visit to moffat on sunday evening aswell all down the 701.. there was only one really bad patch about half a mile out of moffat where the whole corner was mostly pothole. that and a chicken going for a stroll in the road.
i even got my photo took by a guy next to a white van.. shat myself a bit when i thought it was a speed gun |

I try to keep the actual run at about 180 miles max because people have to get there and back home afterward. Its also the reason I try to pick central locations for the start, makes it fairer for everyone. I'm already thinking about June and whether we give it a bye because of GMIV.
