Ok chaps here is a wee post from the Tweedlove facebook page which you should defo have got on and liked by now, if you have the time to get up here for the next one then it's defo worth considering, i can't imagine having a better time ever on a bike, i usually don't ride in december due to being too busy and knackered but i might make an exception this year ("TweedLove Yesterday · Edited TweedLove would like to thank Dirt School's Chris Ball, Andy Barlow and Ruaridh Cunningham for showing off their favourite trails today. With big smiles, great company and a spectacular Tweed Valley light show, it was a cracking day out. The next 'Tweedlove Favourite Trails' ride will be on the 13th of December, be sure to save the date." ) also heres a link to a write up on Enduro on line magazine of the rideout at the weekend which took in some of the Tweed Valley's finest trails all with the guidance of some of the valley's finest riders and better still it's free enduro-mtb.com/en/the-big-picture-tweedloves-triple-espresso-ride-out/ |

The pics on that link just look stunning I so would like to ride up there .. Mate, there is just sooooo much of it there, not just the trail centres and the photo's actually do it justice, everybody should at least spend a weekend in the Tweed Valley, anybody that want's to come up and try out the trails then myself and Euan and some more of my mates would gladly show you around, just don't expect all weather trails, they are hand cut with hand tools and bedded in with bike tyres but in this weather/season they are muddy/slippy/loose steep and deffo a challenge but so much fun  |

Never doing that again, first time i've propper shit it on a trail Really ? i think Thornylee was actually not as gnarly as The Golfy, have you ridden Feed the Pony Top to Bottom ? Jeeez even just getting to the top is a bloody struggle, you can join it from half way down though which is actually very awesome |

We have hills not mountains The climbs are not too bad actually, a lot of forest road .....oh aye then some pretty loooong exposed stuff so aye you should get fit for this, it's pretty intense stuff, practice practice practice the hardest stuff you can find where you live and that'll prep you |
