Program

Day 1, Annan to Moffat (dip your wheel in the harbor)

This is a gently undulating route which rises from sea level to 354 feet in 52 kilometers. This route takes you on quiet country lanes and cycle routes through Dumfries and Galloway. Your stop for the day, Moffat, has many claims to fame the narrowest hotel and the shortest street in Scotland being just two of them.

Day 2, Moffat to Peebles (Devil's Beef Tub)

Today, you will tackle the climb to the highest point on the whole route (413 meters), known as the Devil's Beef Tub. After every up, there is a down and you have a sweeping descent down the lovely Tweed Valley. Your stop for today is Peebles, which was home to the author, soldier, and Governor General of Canada John Buchan.

Day 3, Peebles to Dalkeith (Edinburgh panorama)

You will cycle on a mix of the former railway line and cycle path today. You will experience more climbing and about halfway, you will reach the Moorfoot Hills viewpoint. Spread before you is Edinburgh and the Pentland Hills. The remainder of the day sees you descend into Dalkeith and home for the night. Dalkeith has a number of historic attractions, among them are Newbattle Abbey and Dalkeith Palace.

Day 4, Dalkeith to Forth Bridges (last day)

Today is a short day, 40 kilometers, just as well as more time will be spent on this leg sightseeing and picture taking than on any of the preceding days. Country parks, beaches, promenades and stately houses, there is plenty to see and the end of the ride is amazing with not one, two, but three bridges spanning the forth. Once more, you dip your wheel into the water and you have done it. You are a coast to coast (C2C)-er.

Notes: This tour is a level 2 ride with some hard climbs and suitable for tourers and hybrids. Average daily distance is approximately 30 miles.
