I've been riding about a year.. mostly commuting daily, still on CBT but looking to do my test this summer. I try to get out most weekends for some practice, this weekend I tried out South Deeside Road and went most of the way from Westhill to Alford which was fun.
I'm just looking for a few more routes that are a similar level bearing in mind that I am a bit limited by speed on a honda cg
If you took the SDR to Alford then I'd be mighty impressed! I'm sure you meant 2 different rides though.
I depends what you want from the ride, if you want to keep you speed up and cruise along enjoying the scenery then those roads mentioned are good fun on a 125. If you want to find some twisties and work the gearbox then the coastal route from the broch to Macduff is a good giggle, also Cairn o' mount and down to Fettercairn (although it is a bit of a climb). I went over on a 125 scooter a couple years back just for a laugh and it certainly was!
Post up on the novice ride outs section, it would be good to get a few of the slower riders together and I am sure an experienced rider or two will take the lead and follow at the rear to encourage the novices, and those that want a slower run.
Some of us, while being old in the tooth, aren't that far off being off a 125. Best of luck with your test this summer - there's a world of fun ahead of you :)

I can join in to about Alford, lead you on many a twisty road, and you city boys (and girls) can find your own way home
Sounds like another opportunity for me to fire up my satnav on my phone, head off in the wrong direction, get no input from the navigation for 20-25 minutes and eventually start getting some instructions through Not that I did that before - oh no!!!!
Give me a shout whenever you fancy a run, two of my mates I regularly go out with are on a DR125 and a 200 Duke. And I always end up staying at the back
