I drove the A701 from Moffat to Dalkeith last week whilst up in Edinbra setting up a new job - that must be a great road to ride on a bike, I might go back one day on 2 wheels and give it a go (as long as the suns shines like it did last week at any rate)

I don't know about the A701, but the A702 that heads to the motorway from Edinburgh is a beautiful road. I had the pleasure of riding it when it was fairly quiet in glorious sunshine. A very pleasant end to a very motorway heavy run up the M6 from Telford.

It's a lovely twisty road through some really beautiful scenery, and probably doesn't get as busy as the A702. Might be why we saw so many motorbikes on the A701 - I was rather envious of them as I was on 4 wheels.

The A701 is a great biking road but as such can be over policed. Be careful, the twisties are followed by some long straights where you can easily lose your licence.
There's a lovely little road that goes off the A701 past Talla water, Meggat reservior and on to St Mary's Loch that's worth a day out.

If you venture out of town there are a few decent roads around here though, got a couple of routes I use for a quick blast on a sunny afternoon after work Gary
