Caerlaverock Calling: A New Year’s Day tradition
"As always, we’re planning to kick off the year in traditional fashion with a ride to Caerlaverock on Monday 1st January 2024 –
despite rain and a succession of weather warnings in the past few days, the forecast at the moment isn’t too bad so with luck and a following wind we’ll actually make it
Meet on the Greensands Dumfries, (at the bridge by the Dumfries Rowing Club) ready for an 11am start, and bring your own lunch because the WWT cafe is sadly no longer in full operation."
Full Loop approx 19 miles -

The Snow-topped Broom Wagon(Fr. Voiture balai)
The broom wagon was first introduced in 1910 in response to the riders objections to the condition and length of the famous proposed stage across the Pyrenees which included the Col de Peyresourde, Col d’Apsin, Col du Tourmalet, Col du Soulor, and the Col d’Aubisque in one day. The riders were afraid of being left out on the road alone. Exactly the sort of drama the race organizers were looking for, but the riders said one collective NON!
