Ok folks, i know Hodgy has just organised and had a ride there today, since most folks on here are from further afield it makes sense to think/plan Waaaay ahead I propose a weekender with a late shortish ride on the saturday, maybe some of the red/blue trails, and then a biggie on the sunday taking in some of the not unknown but not official black/red/blue trails that are so much more a challenge than the purpose made stuff, nothing dangerous just more challenging and technical in nature and since they're a bit more spread out across the hill we can take it easy in between each trail, we can finish off the day with a ride from the top of the black All the way down to Peebles Hydro it does mean climbing to the top again but it'll be worth it, it's a corker, not one trail but several trails connected up to be one big one I've done it in 14 ish minutes but that was me gunning it it's nearly all downhill except one short uphill that can be walked for a wee breather All we have to do is sort out a date (and some dry weather  ) for those of you travelling a long way can i suggest staying overnight and perhaps trying out www.facebook.com/TheAtticPeebles/?fref=ts just give Cath Clark or Jack (her son) a PM and for a tenner you've got a bed for the night, it's a bed, no breakfast, but there's plenty eating joints in Peebles so you won't go hungry, she only ever rents out beds to bikers So who's in ? and can i suggest sometime in June or maybe August but it's really up to what suits the most amount of people Any evening entertainment/ alcohol consumption on the saturday night is optional of course |

Sounds like a good idea, June would probably work better.

I'd be up for this, if we're doing glentress it would be well worth blasting around innerlithien aswell as it's an amazing ride and only 15 mins away,

Awesome trail. Got some Supercross style whoops in there as well. I would have joined you folks for one day at least, but I'll be in Italy for both of those dates. Have a good one, chap. |

I can't do this ...I think I was the only one who voted for the end of August..
By the way do we have two Euan's on the site...?
The first one said mid to late August ...and the other one said mid July or if not early June ...
Talk about covering all the bases!

If it's a goer, should we loo at availability for the attic on Saturday night. see how many rooms they have and who wants the,m. Then buddy into twos and book it up.
I think the rooms are all multiples not singles. So the 10£ only applies when sharing.
I m happy to share with anybody that doesn't snore.
