Kelso to Smailholm Loop

We leave Kelso and head to Stitchill. We’ll meet our first hill, don’t worry it’s a steady one and we will take our time. We’re on the main road to Edinburgh for a few minutes until we head through Nenthorn. We pass through the village and head for Hundy Mundy and Smailholm. From Smailholm taking the Tower Road we head towards Makerstoun and back towards Kelso following the National Cycle Route. Approx 1700ft of climbing

A nice lumpy loop taking in some great views.

Mainly quiet country roads.

We won’t be stopping for coffee until we return to Kelso. There will be plenty of stops along the way to catch your breath and have a drink of water.

Helmets please on this ride. Check the weather and dress accordingly, layer up as it still likely to be changeable. Bring snacks and water and money for a cuppa a the end of the ride.

We never leave anyone behind
