August 20th/21st CX/Adventure bike ride

Post by JohnClimber »

I'm banking on my new bike turning up in time.

Anybody up to a good paced (but not racing) CX/Drop bar/Adventure bike ride around the Dirty Reiver 200km route http://www.dirtyreiver.co.uk/

Starting late morning on Saturday 20th August from Newcastleton, doing a bits of the 7 stane before getting onto the route and travelling light, aiming for The Blackcock Country Inn at Falstone at the 53 mile mark for a filling meal, aiming to get to the bothy at mile 93, but taking bivi gear as this is a bit touch and go because for me it's going to be all about the views and photos, so not much point in riding in the dark just on the off chance that the bothy is empty and quiet.
Returning back the the cars at mile 135 the Sunday morning afterwards.

CX/Drop bar/Adventure bikes only please for better photos. :wink:

Anybody up to 135 miles in a 24 hours or so window?
