Invitation to a Cycling SW Scotland ride - Sunday 23rd June

Eden Valley members are invited to join Cycling SW Scotland members for a 102 mile ride from Annan this coming Sunday 23rd June.    The ride will start at 8.30am from the War Memorial on Annan Main Street opposite the police station.

The route will be towards Lockerbie, then through Millhousebridge to a refreshment stop at the mountain bike centre in Ae village (25 miles). We then go up to Loch Ettrick then for lunch in Thornhill or Penpont (approx 40 miles).   The route continues to Monaive via Tynron and eventually we arrive at Corsock followed by Crocketford, Shawhead and Dumfries.    After that the ride goes along the coast road through Glencaple and Powfoot back to Annan.  

Most of the route is gently undulating.   After Monaive there will be few refreshment stops so riders are advised to bring food & drink with them or replenish en route beforehand.    There is a cafe at Kilnford Barns, Dumfries but it may be closed by the time we get there.

Most EV riders who would perhaps have been interested in this ride will be in France, so I’m not expecting anyone from `EV to turn up.    But the invitation is made.

If interested, please text 07709710301
