Brake_Away Cycle Rides for March - October 2010
The Borders Brake-Away cycle group developed a few years ago when a few members of a local walking group discovered a mutual interest in cycling. Since our first tentative cycle outing, we have been organising informal rides together to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Borders and beyond. We thank Mellow Velo who have kindly allowed us to broadcast our plans to a wider audience through this web page. Although we can’t guarantee the weather, we can guarantee friendly company, healthy exercise, great scenery and usually a tea room or two for lunch or cakes; please feel welcome to join us.
