The weather forecast for Saturday is meant to be nice so I'm going for a ride round some of the Borders.

If anyone fancies joining me you're more than welcome, this is a no committment, no expectation sort of thing. If you fancy the ride, we could meet at MCE in Dalkeith, anytime between 10 and 11 in the morning.....I want to do this route

Sorry, Garfield. Can't make it. Have to work, and then be around for teenage daughter - mother is away shopping with her mother and her sister.
 
Which day Garf? - Saturday could probably negotiate with family, but Sunday have to 'do' a lunch?
 
Remember that MCE have their own run on Sunday - meeting at the Dealership in Dalkeith around 10:00.

Bob.
 
Nice route. I can't make it as I've 'booked' the Sunday instead and I'm planning on invading Eng-er-land. :rolleyes:

With a little detour, you could do a bit of easy trail stuff too if you are interested. It's near Earlston - in a NNE direction. Turn left instead of right when you're off to waypoint 21.
