Hi Craigg, i'm usually out every sunday if the weather is good so gives a PM or keep an eye on this thread if you want to tag along. most runs are between 250-350 miles. if nobody shows interest then i dont start the run from South Queensferry and just go it alone.

[Bibio]

bit disorganised start to my biking season this year but i'm now all sorted

all welcome. if your new and want to come along then please read through this thread and find the rules.

you dont have to do the whole route but i would ask you to please let me know before hand and dont just disappear as i worry, especially newly passed riders.

Sunday 18/06/2017.

weatherman says its to be fair this sunday down the borders so i'm out and about.

route is clockwise

Hope to join you either at Maccy D's or at the A68 turn off on the ring road, depending on what time I get me lardy backside out of bed.

[Bibio]

macy d's is only if other people are turning up. no need for you to come all the way up here unless that is you want to.

[littleoldman2]

Probably come up the A7 and join you at the Ring Road / A68 junction if that's OK with you. What time will you be at the junction?.
Looking forward to it. If she's good I might bring the better half.

[SIII]

Might be looking at joining you at Saughtree, top end of KielderB6357 and ride to Moffat / Biggar. Maybe even a run down to Tower Knowe (Service in café is abysmal!!!)


What time will you be at Tower Knowe ? approx., I know you can't be exact, but approx.?

Tower Knowe around 2pm. we will be taking a long break there.

i have jiggled the route a bit so its easier for LOM to get back home. i'll post the revised route later.
