In a bid to not lose the fitness we acquired when doing the Western Isles cycle, we've been trying to get out at the weekend as often as we can. Having lived here for 7 years, we'd never cycled through the Moorfoots down to Innerleithen, and that was where this route took us today. It's a steady climb from the Heriot road end and then down all the way to Innerleithen, and along the back road to Ashitiel Bridge.
From here we went up to Clovenfords, and then back home on the west side of the main A7 (should have turned off just outside Clovenfords to avoid the mile or so on the A7, but guess who had lost the OS map during a coffee stop.....)
40 miles in about 3 hrs.
