Opposite side of the country from most of you but worth a trip: B7007 runs west from the A7 (not far from Gorebridge) until it joins the B709 to Innerleithen. The first 3 miles have been resurfaced including 2 miles of downhill - 30mph+

You can see the road here (not my pic BTW): http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/2328638.jpg

Happy skating!

HOLY SHIT...That looks rather special!

Going to have to get over to the mystical east one of these days...

Whats up this road? anything that would lead to busy traffic?

Nope - pretty quiet really. Ridden it a couple of times now in the evening and the only thing you need to watch out for are cars/boy racers cutting the corners. We have a tail car behind us and a sign at the bottom of the road.

Speed does vary depending on the wind direction and the top is quite exposed but its normally <5 min run for the 2 miles.

Sound good.
Any chance of getting Video/Pictures next time you ride it?
