Just an article I scanned in a while back but found on my Computer today.
Ive still to get round to giving it a go despite only living about 10mins from Biggar.
Maybe next weekend.....
Enjoy if it inspires anyone.

That's quite a short run really, I think it needs a bit added to it! But there's no doubt it's first class biking roads

We had a few meets at Bellingham some years ago and did some of those roads, lovely area and some decent cake at St Marys Loch. Is the Moffat-Brougton road the one that goes past the Buddhist Temple?

No.
Samye Ling is ESE of Moffat. See their site here:- http://www.samyeling.org/about/
A great place to visit and a good café.

You'll go a long way to beat WALLINGS ICE CREAM FARM at Cockerham, near Garstang, Lancashire.
The best ice cream I've ever tasted, and I've tasted quite a few!
Fredricks Ice Cream at Wigan Road Chorley, runs a close second. Their 10 scoop special needs a real man to appreciate it.
