The borders loop one, from experience Lockerbie to Langholm one of the worst roads I have driven on. The A7 though is a beaut. Useful guide :)

started out with nothing, still have most of it left.

I have a route planned round Dumfries and Galloway, an area I know well but have never biked around. Their route looks a bit too much on main roads. I believe there are better ones.

But I'll report back when I've done it next year. Although if it's as good as I think, I might keep quiet - don't want it getting too busy.

I agree about the A7 - brilliant.

I'll study the other routes for tour ideas. Thanks for posting it, Steve.

Its a cracking tool, soooo much easier to use than BaseCamp/Tyre etc. Creating routes and loading them onto my Garmin is a piece of cake.

Indeed. 'And' one can download Ride Magazine routes direct from there as well. It's also possible to reverse or otherwise alter those routes too. Brilliant!
