My regular commuting bike is currently out of service and the Audax bike is a bit too ... audaxy for rides like this. Plus the road surfaces on the list lanes are variable so the gravel bike is a good choice :) </p> <p>I got three croissant parties (with falafel inside) for the price of one in Kelso because the bakery was closing for Sunday and that was all they had left. And the gelato in Kelso was very tasty (grapefruit+ basil and espresso flavours). And I got a large cup of tea from Gregg's. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21974#post-384912 Mon, 29 Jun 2026 21:58:01 +0000 gembo 384912@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Gravel bike I assume. Well I know as I saw your film. Quite a lot of interesting sandwiches and enormous ice cream too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21974#post-384908 Mon, 29 Jun 2026 20:00:00 +0000 bill 384908@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Got a train to Tweedbank to ride route #27 from the new book by Jack Thurston Lost Lanes Scotland.<br /> It's a 77k route through Melrose, Scott's view, Smailholm tower, Floors castle in Kelso, Ancurm and back to Tweedbank. The lanes were absolutely lovely and I never knew those things were there. </p> <p>6 bikes on the train back in a single bike carriage. It wasn't busy so we were allowed but the conductor wasn't too happy. </p> <p>You can get a copy of the book here:<br /> <a href="https://lostlanes.co.uk/product/lost-lanes-scotland/">Buy online</a> </p>
