Motorcycling/ Motocross in the Borders

Well here we are into 2008. Many of you lucky bike owners will
be thinking about the better weather in the coming months so
you can get your bike out and blow out the cobwebs from the exhaust.

Where ever you are i do recommend riding through the
Scottish Borders,especially the A708, Selkirk to Moffat road,
passing St Marys Loch. This route boast spectacular scenery
and a nice wee cafe on the shore of Loch o the Lowes/ St Marys Loch.
From there travel North-West into Moffat which is a lovely little
tourist haven of a fine mixture of shops. Dont forget to sample
some "Moffat Toffee", yummy.

Once refreshed jump back onto your iron horse/plastic rocket
and look for the signs pointing to Broughton. This will take you
over the Famous "Devils Beef Tub".
What a great roller coaster ride of fantastic left and right long sweeping corners.

Head to Blyth Bridge then onto the A72 to Peebles for a wee rest
before heading back to your final destination.

Im keeping this brief as i could easily banter on forever.
Dont want to bore you too much !

Motocross

Fancy a bit of MX, blasting along a dirt track full pipe
with some great jumps and other exciting challenges ?
Have a visit to Ashkirk Motocross Track !The track is situated
on the side of the A7 between Selkirk and Ashkirk.

The track is a great place for MX practice, it doesnt hold
competitions. The track is more focused on family riding,
such as kids who are looking to try out the sport
and fine tuning their riding skills.
Its a great place to enjoy a day out on your MX Bike.
