Scottish Borders Randonnee

Description

204km cycling event starting from Selkirk. Controls at Moffat, Peebles, Lauder, Melrose and Selkirk., plus 2 information controls.

An early season ride through the West-Central Scottish Borders.

A ride up the Yarrow Valley, and along the shore of St Mary's Loch, before the first climb of the day - The Pass of Moffatdale (OCD 339m)

Don't have too big a second breakfast in Moffat, because it's straight into the Devil's Beeftub (OCD 412m)

Then it's all downhill to Peebles before the Dewar Swyre (370m OCD) and Hareshawhead (OCD 368m) arrive in quick succession.

Finish with the rolling countryside of Roxburghshire before heading back west to Selkirk.
