The ride will start at 9.30am from the Sycamore Cafe in Longtown. The cafe is on the Main Street and there is free parking close by. The cafe opens very early so you can get refreshments before we set off (but get there early)
The route is 78 miles. We will travel to Newcastleton via Penton and on to Bonchester Bridge on the B6357. After that we join the Hawick to Newcastleton road and turn off at Hermitage to the A7. After Langholm we return to Longtown via Claygate and Canonbie. The route is very scenic. In my experience roads in this part of Scotland including the A7 are usually quiet.
Refreshment stops will be at Newcastleton and Bonchester Bridge. I am very open to changing the route so if anyone has concerns we can discuss the route and make changes. The latest forecast I have seen for Wednesday is 20 degrees and dry.
