Dumfries and Galloway is a gem of a place and most people fly past it on the M74 and head up north. They don't know what they are missing 

That'll be me then 


I've oft suspected whilst passing through southern Scotland that there must be good roads and exploring to be had around there

Dalmellington road is always fun used it a few times on the way to Troon to get the ferry:-) Dumfries deffo gets forgotten about!

Road from Canonbie to Bonchester bridge via Newcastleton is a great road just watchout for lumber lorries!

Honestly there are some belting roads in this area.


Castle douglas to Ayr
Newton Stewart to Ayr
Stranraer to Ayr
Ayr to Thornhill
Try out this for a day, Thornhill to Cumnock, Cumnock to Douglas then on to Lanark, Lanark to Abington, Abington to Crawick then into Sanquhar then to Mennock and up the mennock pass to Wanlockhead then Leadhills then Elvanfoot, Elvanfoot to Thornhill. That is one good day out on a bike..

Dalmelington to New Cumnock is a mess with potholes so be careful on it but it is a nice road.
