3 bike ride to Langholm - Wednesday 19th August.

By

The ride will start from Central Ave car park in Gretna at 9.30am.   The route to Langholm will be 25 miles on roads some of them I have not ridden before on a club outing.  The route will probably be a novelty for others.   

Lunch will be at Whitshiels Cafe and I will make a provisional booking.   Thereafter the route takes a more predictable path to Claygate and and back to Gretna via Penton & Longtown.

The route is here.   Contact me on 07709710301 if you are coming.   The total distance is 55 miles.

At the moment the forecast is for rain much of the day.    Should be fun 😱

Pyrenean Foothills (Mediterranean France) Cycle Tour

By
The landscape between Carcassonne, Foix and Perpignan is a delightful place to ride a road bike. It is peppered with deep gorges, vineyards, thick forests and spectacular medieval castles. The narrow roads that link the pretty, sun-baked villages are quiet, generally well surfaced and far from flat, making for a satisfying exploration of this beautiful area. Phil and I have signed up to join Marmot Tours “Pyrenean Foothills” trip from 15 th  to 22 nd  May next year. The trip starts and finishes in Foix (free transfers from/to Toulouse airport) and offers 6 days of cycling with several choices of route on each day. Follow this LINK for details of the trip and hopefully we can have a good contingent from Eden Valley in SW France. Sign and pay deposit before 15 th  November and get 5% discount.   Cheers, Bill 07921 297 045 Phil 07810 751 189
