Are any of the sections of this totally superb or totally crap from a riding point of view? I’m thinking of a two or three day ride over part of it in August.

I’ve ridden bits on Minch Moor and near Wanlockhead before, but not the rest. And yes, I know it’s a walking trail, but the reality is hardly any walkers ever use it.

St Mary’s Loch to Traquair is a grassy climb followed by a grassy descent.
I’d do Traquair XC from Inners car park to Minchmoor instead of SUW (not much ,longer)
Minchmoor to Selkirk (3 brethern)is great.
3 Brethern to Gala is ok, as is Gala to Melrose and Melrose to Earlston.

Never been any further north tha that

Fine to ride it Its scotland. some nice riding as aboove.

I believe I rode a part of it at Glentrool.
If so it wasn`t very interesting.

for a 2/3 day ride I would start @ Sanquhar(would ride Enterkin Burn track instead of SupW, too much hiking on that bit) to Moffat to Peebles etc.

Do a train from Dumfries to Sanquhar and then bike back trip occasionally. Not too many of my mates keen on 50/60 milers these days

Bit of a big hike up from the Daer Res

Often thought about Moffat to Peebles and back as a weekend ride, just never seem to get it on
