Picking up a new to me bike tomorrow (subject to seeing it etc) and heading from Penicuik to Gretna for overnight stop. Very brief look at google maps suggests Peebles/Traquair/Eskdalemuir may be more interesting than just bashing down the A702 towards the A74(M) but any other routes recommended by those 'in the know'? I'm ideally after pootling roads of moderate progress rather than either main routes full of traffic or goat tracks requiring knobblies (sp?). I want to make reasonable time because it will be cold and I'm nesh
If I stick to my rough route above, would the wise among you suggest heading from Eskdalemuir towards Lockerbie or towards Langholm instead?
