Great ride today from Peebles along the road to Traquair then south on the SUW to Blackhouse followed by a return via Kirkhope Law and Kailzie Hill. There was a lot of hard snow in places and it wasn't a day for hanging around in the wind. The final descent into the Gypsy Glen was in superb condition after the snow and ice at the top was negotiated.
