Reiver Fever

Description

300km cycling event starting from Selkirk. Controls at Longtown, Melmerby, Haydon Bridge, Bellingham, Newcastleton, Hawick and Selkirk., plus 1 information control.

The return of a Borders' classic - updated for 2020

Cross the border via Liddesdale to Longtown, before heading further south to Melmerby in Cumbria. Don't eat too much in the Cafe, as it's straight over Hartside Pass to Alston, and onto Haydon Bridge.

You'll get a bit of restbite through Kielder, but save something for the final push north back to Selkirk
