I had a stab at a route. Start point for the Glasgow based posse is McD's in East Kilbride. Then we can meet/stop in Ayr or there abouts to chat/smoke/take a ****.

Please feel free to comment and amend

Route looks good to me.

But can I suggest from kirkcudbright ride to dalbeattie then upto Crocketford then upto Balmaclellan. The road from Crocketford to Balmaclellan is pretty good and a bit of a favourite of mine. Up side of loch ken is scenic but a little boring.

Please have a look at link, what do you think?

Only thing, that section of the A75 is incredibly boring and there is usually a good chance of traffic cops or scamera vans on it.

True, it's quite picturesque though and fairly easy going for a wee bit.

Only other option is the wee skittery back road between Creetown & Gatehouse, which having ridden it for a reccy a few months back, I can confirm is an appalling strip of road, more akin to a farm track in fact.

That's a very similar route to the one I organised on here a few months back and there are a few great bits of road on it indeed.
