If you want to ride some great roads with excellent scenery without the traffic.....Dumfries & Galloway has it all.
Roads like the A711 along the coast. Can't go wrong...... if it's dry.
Moffat up to St Mary's Loch is a nice ride but it can be pretty busy on nice days, perhaps the Beeftub road is a bit quieter.
One of my favourites is the road from Carronbridge to Evlanfoot (or the other way round depending which direction you're heading ) Generally traffic free, just don't get carried away in the bends and find a ditch
