Up the seat tube to where the stays join it, then back down the stay (rather than directly across from the seat tube).
Shorter cable run than running it to the saddle and less likely to get snagged by a strap through the saddle.

Well, yeah, even I'm not daft enough to just float cable in the air across to the bridge.
But see where all the bags are, that makes the seatstays the only easy spot to grab when doing hike-a-bike. No cable there = less chance of dumb hippy pulling it off the frame.That's why I like my mid-stay position. It's (my) best of both worlds.

There's a brake mount hole so a bracket there might work. I don't have the frame so I can't tell. Keeping it on the seattube means the cable doesn't have to extend to the stays and brake bridge. Shorter cable run, less likely to be caught on something.
