THE RIDELINES TWEED VALLEY EXPLORER

Description

GUIDED MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDES IN THE TWEED VALLEY.

Guided Mountain Bike rides in the Tweed Valley. Explore big country beyond the trail centres. Leave behind the greens, blues, reds and blacks in favour of the colours, sights and sounds of the surrounding Tweed Valley. Ridelines will take you on an adventure around the area that surrounds Peebles and Innerleithen on a challenging, traditional style mountain bike ride. Not too far, not too technical, but very rewarding. This is a group ride that will have all abilities present. Dates and availability are shown above.

If you’re coming on holiday, a day trip with friends just looking to go on a ride that reveals new trails and opportunities to ride something outside the trail centre environment, then this is for you. We will lay on a local guide that will cater for your every need and take you safely round a mystery route specially planned to make the most of your day. You’ll even be supplied with a packed lunch, with coffee and cake upon our triumphant return to Glentress!

What do you need to bring with you?

• Bring or hire a well fitting, good quality mountain bike in serviceable condition.

The Tweed Valley Explorer (TVE) routes are generally around 30km – 35km long with long climbs and descents thrown in. This means you will have to have a good level of fitness to take part. Take a look at some prerequisites we recommend before considering a TVE ride.
