Hello from Scotland ! I live in what are considered rolling hills.. nothing huge, but there are a few peaks in the 600 metres, and over 700 metres if you look toward The Cheviot on the actual border between England and Scotland..but locally it's between 400 metres to 500 and if you know where to look, there are ancient trails, footpaths, sheep herding tracks, and heavens forbid- even roads..that get you to scenic views, and sometimes to gorgeous nooks and crannies. You can idle beside the Tweed and take in the Ancient structures, sample the wilds, you'll find yourself in the Tweed Valley, where some of the best set up trails anywhere are available for your sampling. I love the discovery part of long baron trails, and the cozy, and simultaneously technical trails that are littered from Innerleithen to Peebles..so I pick and chose between them. I can highly recommend this area for cycle adventures..though I personally would chose off road than on- there are some truly spectacular roads such as cycle route 1 that do provide spectacles, challenges, nature and links..between all of the above ! So On Yer Bikes, and see you on the trails ! #LBS

Caddonfoot to Glentress Black includes short loop

Cycling route in Peebles, Scotland, United Kingdom

 A trail diversion cut off some of the fun ups on the Black trail when I got to it, and also slightly shortened the route. This upset the timing of the lap,as I was going for a first run, and wanted to know a baseline time for the whole thing..(oh well ! )  I managed a 2 hour and 12 miniutes on t…

Southern Upland heading east towards Longformacus

Cycling route in Lauder, Scotland, United Kingdom

A mix of quiet roads and tracks out of Oxton, then once on the Southern Uplance Way it goes from grassy field to boggy heather, to rocky sheep paths..nut not before you climb many miles. Hard going- but lots of wildlife from lack of humans..a truly special and remote walk on this section..amazing…
