Castle Douglas

Direction: Out Old A75, return Dalbeattie Rd

Distance: 33 Miles.

This is a fantastic route. The 'Old Military Rd' is an excellent undulating road with hills all over it, and very low traffic. You pass through Lochfoot, Milton, Hardgate and Haugh of Urr wich all act as good reference points on your trip. There's a few descents you can really fly on, and of course a few ascents to test you legs. For variety you can return via Ernespie Road, KPD, Bridge of Urr and Terregles which will add an extra 7 miles with a good old climb in the middle.

Rating 9/10
