Hi all
I'm looking into organising a charity ride for Shelter in the summer of 2014 to include ideally both the East and West Coasts of Scotland over a 2 day period
I'm thinking of basing ourselves around Hawick and set off to the East one day (either Berwick upon Tweed (appreciate BoT is England) or Eyemouth etc) then loop back to Hawick. After an overnight sleep, we then set off to the West coast (Gretna area or similar) and loop back again to the Hawick area again
Looking at potentially 2 routes on each day (one for more advanced riders and ideally between 90-110 miles and another circa 50-70 miles for the less experienced). I appreciate the shorter 50-70 mile routes wont touch either coast
I thought about getting in touch with the Hawick Cycling Club but cant find any contact information for anyone who may be able to provide any maps/routes that they or their cycling members have used
Can anyone help me with a high level route/s or put me in touch with someone who may know the local area and may be able to provide maybe a Strave/map my ride type route of what I'm looking to do?
Feel free to ask further questions as I've probably missed out some key information
Thanks in advance
Scott
