Part of the Tweedlove Bike Festival, the seven-hour Glentress Seven mountain bike endurance race proved such a huge success that it will be held again in 2012, the organisers have announced today.

A flagship event in the ten day festival that celebrates cycling in the cycle-friendly Tweed Valley in the Scottish Borders, the Glentress Seven will take place on Saturday 2 June, and plans are already underway for another fantastic course.

TweedLove organisers welcome Alpine Bikes on board as the headline sponsor  sponsor for 2012.  Alpine have been getting involved with much cycling activity in the Tweed Valley – ‘it’s a deal which should work well for everyone’, say organisers

The expanded programme for this road cycling and mountain biking fiesta will also include a new ‘all-mountain’ enduro, with timed sections on a course with ‘a bit of everything – as long as it’s great to ride.
