Glentress Goodness (MTB)

Glentress MTB
Mileage is an estimate, as it will largely depend on which trails we do.

RIDE/ROUTE DESCRIPTION:
No defined route. Nothing massively techy/difficult, but Glentress Trail Centre is built on a massive hillside - highly recommend hiring an eMTB if you don't own one. We'll start with blue trails and advance dependent on confidence levels. Note - this is mountain biking at a trail centre. There are some GREAT trails here, so lots of choice and lots of fun!

For hire, from the main shop - https://www.tweedvalleybikehire.com
There's another hire place at Riders Retreat, which is also at the foot of the trails - just be clear which place you're hiring from, for collection!

ADVISE SECURING BIKE HIRE ASAP, AS THE STOCKS ARE LOW!
Suitable for mountain bikes / eMTB only.

If the ride is fully booked and you join the waiting list, British Cycling will send an automated email if a space becomes available - then it's first come, first served. (Note the date on the automated email may be wrong!!)... Ride leaders do NOT get to see the waiting list.
Ride leaders are volunteers and give up their time for free - if you sign-up then change your mind, please ensure you cancel your place so we know not to expect you and the place becomes available for someone else.


The boring stuff...
Safety information - please read:
* Repeat any calls that you hear or signals that you see (such as arm signals or calls such as ‘stopping’) so that riders behind you know what to expect
* In large groups, if you realise there’s a big gap between you and the person behind you, try and notify the leader.
* Although we don’t leave anyone behind, have a plan to get home if you’re unable to continue with the ride for any reason.
* If you find that we’re close to your home as we get towards the end of the ride, let the leaders know that you’ll be leaving the group.

THE OTHER BORING BUT IMPORTANT BITS....
Please make sure your bike is in working condition PRIOR to arriving for the ride and bring a spare inner tube to fit your tyres (check the valve type too!) and/or a puncture repair kit. The leaders can help you fix a puncture, but only if you have the right size inner tube for your bike or a puncture repair kit!

We look forward to seeing you.
