Just back from a superb Easter in the Scottish Borders with Micky and a host of UKGSER's
We stayed at the Buccleuch Arms and very good it was too http://www.buccleucharmshotel.com/
We travelled up on Friday in 2-3 groups and I managed to share the ride, with 2 different groups consecutively................hey-ho, all part of the fun
Saturday dawned chilly, but soon warmed up
Had a ride with Chris (Phooey) here, who came down from Melrose and Elle
From Tweedsmuir and over to Talla Reservoir - one of my favourite rides in the world
Then onto St Mary's Loch, where we met Blackal
Then the 709 to Eskdalemuir to Samye Ling's, where we bumped into Borderraider, Mort and Gail, together with Jasperoony from here
Just one of many 'spirited' rides (new UKGSER buzzword
), this weekend
In the bar on Saturday night Kev (Norm) had caught the sun, just a bit.................doing some male 'friendship bracelet' bonding
Sunday, just had a bimble with Micky and Sue, together with Steve (Skid06) and Jannine
No pics....................too busy riding
Today, i led the run home on all B or unclassified roads and we had some fun.................I can recommend the Rocky Road cafe, in Bellingham - we will be visiting again in 3 weeks
Great weekend with old friends and good to meet Boatman here and Skid06 & Jannine, on his 12GS WC - ace company
Bike all washed and cleaned tonight.....................ready for the next one
