3 bike ride from Longtown. Wednesday 11th February

By

The ride will start at 10am from the Sycamore Cafe, Longtown.   The route on minor roads goes through the hamlet of Easton then Kershopefoot to Newcastleton.   We have a bit of a climb onto Langholm Moor and eventually arrive in Langholm and lunch at Whitshields cafe.  The distance to this point will be 25 miles.   After lunch we travel along the B7068 Lockerbie Road as far as Kirtlewater and turn left for Chapelknowe and back to Longtown.   Total distance is just over 45 miles and the route is moderately hilly.

The route is here

As regards the lunch stop, I am happy to reconsider if there is a preference we stop elsewhere.   If you are coming on the ride, please let me know on 07709710301.   I hope to see some of you.

Trivets Wednesday 2 July 2025

By
We had another successful planning meeting on Thursday – thanks to all those who came along. If it isn’t there already, please put the date of 2 July in your diary for our Trivets event starting from Dalston Victory Hall. This is a great opportunity to showcase our lovely area to visitors and the figure of 8 route from Dalston, taking in Mungrisdale in the morning and the Solway coast in the afternoon, does just that. We’ve been running Trivets events at least from 2010 – that’s as far back as Nigel and I go – and even if you aren’t up to the riding, it’s always a great day, meeting like minded cyclists and having fun. We can’t do this without the full participation of the club so we hope you will volunteer to help. There is a form to complete to help us spread the jobs around and to make sure we don’t end up with not enough soup and too much crumble! Please take a moment to complete it here Registration for entry is also now open; visit our website or go directly via this link ...
