The Great MILEPOST race 2022

Post by Pebble »

Starting off with "1 Mile" then a "2 Mile" and the a 3...
See who can get the furthest
(everybody starts at ONE MILE)

All Mileposts have to have your bike in the picture and the image taken in the past week.

Great idea for a challenge; had the Milk Race just been through by the way :) .
I think I've a second cousin who lives at St Boswells.
My Dad's side of the family are from the Borders, I'll look forward to a Hawick, or Wilton Dean one !

aye, the water bottle - I have no style...

I'm going to try and get as many different towns as I can So far I have 3 english and two scottish (corn is short for Cornhill), although with the higher numbers they will just be the bigger places lilike Edinburg Newcastle and Morpeth.


Strangely I can find very few with Hawick on, but I have found a 7 miler on the road into Craik, which is a great place to cyle in and out of, havn't been in there for a while, hopefully do it next week, although I will have to find a "6" beforehand. Part of the idea behind the challenge is to go further a field, I'm still knocking out the miles but getting very lazy in just going a handfull of the same routes over and over.
