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

A relatively easy and fun route. Includes the seaside, a river bank, a grain tower or two, the country, the city and sandy beaches..lots and lots to like about this route. This can be ridden almost entirely off the road most of the way..there is a tiny section of quiet road, and you have to cross…

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…
