Default Re: Bibio's Sunday Bimbles

leccy brae.. well i'm down that way so might as well

i'm going to give the moniaive to carspahirn a bypass and head on down to dalry then up the A713

i'm doing the route anticlockwise as i like going from girvan over to newton stewart. i dont know why i like it anticlockwise and i have done it both ways but i just think it works better that way.

i normally come down via carnwath, rigside, muirkirk, cumnock, ayr, leccy, girvan, newton, queens, moniaive, dalveen, biggar, carnwath or straight up the A702.

easier for LOM to get to selkirk as the start and end in hawick so thought i would mix it up a little

i like tyre, it works perfect, myrouteapp is by the makers of tyre

i'm keeping an eye on the weather as it looks like its going to be scattered showers in D&G on sunday. if it is then its no fun as the roads there deserve dry conditions.

if there is a chance of showers then the best weather is 'borders' so it will be a run down to the north pennines.

Just as an experiment, could you not plan a run for next Sunday, just to see if the weather clears up

You could just take a raincheck and do it on the 9th instead !!!!! I hear the weather is going to be dry and bright on the 9th

Forecast looking good. I don't mind putting off D&G for a week if that means SIII can make it.
