Tour O The Borders - 56 Mile Cycle

Hi everyone!

Last week I took part in a 56-mile cycle in the Borders. It was absolutely stunning and highly recommended if you fancy a challenge.

I'm not much of cyclist having only been out a handful of times for rides longer than 10 miles, there were some fairly challenging climbs and one hill in particular that we had to walk up, but I'm so glad I did it.

I think I've caught the cycling bug now (thanks to Scotland's beautiful landscapes), do you have any recommendations for other routes to try? Possibly a little flatter than this one!

Re: June Trip

Hi @kcfaye. Although the temperature will be warmer, the wind can be chilly at times. Capris will be fine, along with a t shirt and perhaps a zipped hoodie, also a light jacket in case of rain (I would wear these during June) I'm fairly certain it wont be too cold.....although Id be too scared to wear a swim costume.

I visited the Gairloch in July a couple of years ago and the weather was soo hot, but the only way to enjoy a paddle in the sea without getting too cold was to wear a wet suit!

Also, for the members of your group who enjoy the Outlander series, VisitScotland .com have a lot of great information about the filming locations and a free Outlander map to download.

Have a great time during your visit to Scotland!

Re: June Trip

@kcfaye, as it will be Summer the weather can be lovely. Do not forget your suncream (no joke) it may not be often but when the sun does come out it can be quite dangerous. The typical Scottish weather can change very quickly so bring the appropriate clothing, especially for Skye & Mull.
What kind of things do you like seeing & doing and maybe we can tell you a little more about where to go and what to avoid.
