TooTall - we got onto the old railway line at Lyne Station, hoping to make it all the way to Peebles but we turned back at a tunnel. I think Ton has a morbid fear of the dark.....

Ride around with flowers in your helmet and you really will be "out".

That tunnel is a beaut....did it as part of a loop a week or so back, it goes about half a mile but on a bend so after about 10m you literally can't see your hands on the bars. Good choice to avoid it unless you lads had a light with you. We didn't....anyway glad you lads had a guid day out!

Is that stretch of road, with the Daffs, the B712 just West of Peebles?

Looks like the "final" (hopefully) debate on helmets including practical testing. And the answer, after 40m of chatting, is........?

That stretch of road always makes me smile - with about 2 miles of continuous daffs outside the farm.
