All flavours of riding between those 2 from beginners up to proper downhill shock and awe, and it's a good jumping off point if anyone fancies a longer trip too.
Just really thinking out loud but maybe May, driest month and all that... If there's enough numbers one of the other trailbuilders runs a brilliant bike-oriented guesthouse that sleeps 12 people (up to 15 at a push) and if we could take the whole house it's £370 for 2 nights so it works out cheaper than B&Bs would... Bike storage in the garage, BBQ out the back.
Wouldn't need to get loads of people o'course but that's a nice idea  All of Peebles is set up for riding so there's any number of guesthouses etc, or the wigwams (like at the Glencoe Massacre only, well, newer and more boring) at the trailhead... |
Are we talking about 2010 or 2011?
2011 would be great, then I can get this ready for any overnight trips
Sister lives just outside Edinburugh, so good for me
