29/04/23 - Ridden as part of Tweedlove Festival. Ride time with only short stops was 5 hrs 27 mins. A lot of good climbing which became tiring at the end. Bigger climbs front loaded. A bit bumpy on many of the speedy descents. Didn't love the route but maybe worth another go on a brighter day as it was ridden mainly in grey skies and drizzle.
NOTE - route through Glentress simplified given all the work to go most direct route up to Dunslair Heights
22/10/25 - Ridden in nice weather. The modified route up through Glentress too steep (and so is Janets Brae) - better to head to Glentress Peel and climb via Blue and Red outward route to try and find Dunslair Peak. Descent to Innerleithen and through to Walkerburn quite nice. The next big section was pretty wild and rough in the latter stages and an edited route has been created which is hopefully a bit easier.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
