Hi,
I’ve put an away ride on the calender for next month:
http://www.gmbc.org.uk/event/away-ride-mennock-pass/
We will be passing the lead mining museum in Wanlockhead (hold yourself back). They offer gold panning as an activity*, so if you’re eyeing up a new bike this could be the ride for you.

*they also have a cafe that sells cake
