You could adapt the Etal U Can which goes from Gala out to Grantshouse on the coast then south to Wooler and west through Kirk Yetholm to Selkirk. Miss out the eastern bit by cutting across via Kelso or Coldstream on back roads.

Just do the bit from near Gala to Norham and return by some other combination of back roads, perhaps via Kirk Yetholm. I really like the back road through Kirk Yetholm and Morebattle - it would be the bit I would aim for if I had the chance to go riding down there. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15843#post-206881 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 12:36:19 +0000 SimonS 206881@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>How long do you want?</p> <p><a href="http://ridewithgps.com/routes/11491716" rel="nofollow">http://ridewithgps.com/routes/11491716</a> 150km route of the Dick Mc T's Classic Audax.<br /> Food available at a couple of places enroute. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15843#post-206873 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 11:58:40 +0000 steveo 206873@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cheers, I was thinking more a loop returning back to the station for the train home. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15843#post-206638 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 21:00:29 +0000 Cyclingmollie 206638@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you mean a return route them I'd recommend the old coach road. But don't reach it via the A7, instead take the back road from Gala to the Rink and from there to Clovenfords and then the OCR. At Heriot you can take to the A7 to reach the Tynehead turn off after a couple of miles. Café in Stow.<br /> Otherwise up to Denholm and then to Kelso etc. Or out to Bonchester and Newcastleton. Or up the Yarrow valley and over to Innerleithen. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15843#post-206630 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 16:38:22 +0000 steveo 206630@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Any one got any good routes from from the "other" end of the borders railway? I need to do some <strike>training</strike> prep for a ride in May and I though it might be a nice treat to do ride that doesn't involve the lang whang which tends to dominate my out of town routes. </p>
