Saturday spin round Harden from the Walled Gardens

What better way to blow away the cobwebs than an early morning pedal round Harden in great company, followed by a visit to the Pavilion Cafe :)

The start on the map is the Heart of Hawick, but on today's ride we'll meet at the Walled Gardens where there's plenty parking if you're coming by car.

If you're able to arrive just before 9, we'll get a wee bike check done before setting off to Martin's Bridge and onwards to Roberton, Borthwickshiels and to Harden where we can stop to enjoy the stunning views before heading back to the park.

We've booked a table at the Pavilion Cafe and will confirm numbers nearer the day. We'll aim to be there by 1030, leaving plenty time to conquer the route while having a grand blether and lots of fun. This is a social ride and not a race and we never leave anyone behind.

Please ensure you're bike is in good working order, your tyres are pumped up and you have any relevant spares you might need. Please wear a helmet and gloves are advisable. Wear suitable clothing for the weather and have something to drink and/or snacks to fuel your ride.

If you have an e-bike please ensure it has enough charge and should you have a mechanical/electrical, you have a plan in place to get you and your bike home.

We hope you can join us for another Hawick Belles Saturday morning pedal. Fingers crossed for a sunny one. Lizzie, Tracey, Nadia and Wendy.
