The Hirsel via Stitchill

Leaving from Kelso Ice Rink, we head down the hill to the roundabout and cycle through Birgham whenever we turn off the main road. Continue on to the main entrance into The Hirsel. On the return we cycle on the main road to the turning to Eccles. In Eccles we turn off onto back roads to Stitchill, then down hill all the way to the Ice Rink.

To The Hirsel for refreshments, via Birgham, back via Stitchill.

On minor roads where possible, but some stretches on busier main roads.

Ride leaders will explain stops during ride briefing, but we tend to stop at junctions, tops of hills, where safe to do so, photo opportunities, nose blow stops, grab drink stops etc....But we will stop at The Hirsel for refreshments.
