The Hawick Belles Breeze Group invite you to join other women to cycle on quiet roads in the Scottish Borders, taking in the breathtaking scenery our borderland has to offer.

We have two options 25 miles or 40 miles. Entries will be on the British Cycling website shortly and will be £20.

There will be a feed station on route, food/refreshments at the end and a wee momento for every participant.

Registration will be at 13brew which is also where you will start/finish and where you can refuel after your pedal.

The route will be signed and will take you out of Hawick with a steady climb up Cogsmill onto Earlside. Along the quiet roads you can enjoy the views of Ruberslaw and on a clear day, the Eildons. You'll be rewarded with a lovely descent into Bonchester turning left towards Bedrule and onwards to Denholm where the feedstation will be before the route splits.

The longer route will turn right at the feedstation and onwards to Ancrum and then to Lilliesleaf before the return leg back to Hawick along Horsleyhill.

The shorter route will go straight on from the feedstation heading up Hassendean onto Horsleyhill and back into Hawick.

The route is rolling with a few climbs but it's all in the challenge. When you've company, great scenery and quiet roads, it will fly by
