Ride 19/04/2026 Galashiels Randonee
So today was the clubs April Randonee in Galashiels and it was me myself and I on the ride ๐คจ The weather was fine, a bit overcast in places, sunny spells in others and a steady wind for most of the journey. It’s a bit of a loop ride going west to Innerleithen from the start point at Galashiels, before you turn a southern route down to Eskdalemuir where the cafe stop was, about 45 miles to this point. There’s a decent amount of climbing to get here but since I was on my own I could go my own pace, so it was a Zone 2 day for me ๐ At the cafe I had some coffee and cake before heading back to Galashiels via Selkirk this time, which is a good route since it’s mostly downhill all the way ๐ with a small climb back up to Galashiels towards then end. So, 81 miles clocked up at an avg speed of 17 mph.
