The Glentress Seven – a new seven-hour endurance event on Saturday June 11 – is now open for entries.
The flagship event will kick start this year’s TweedLove cycling festival, featuring normally unavailable trails and new sections created specially for the event.
The Glentress Seven route is still being finalised but it will suit a range of riding abilities, with easier route options available on the technical descents.
‘”Glentress is consistently voted the UK’s best trail centre and with the Glentress Seven we’re aiming to give it an event to match,” said Emma Guy from the Hub at Glentress.
“It will be run on a seven-hour endurance format for solos and teams of two, three or four. The emphasis is very much on great trail riding and having a lot of fun.
“There’ll be a festival feel to the event base and transition area at The Hub – and out on the course there should be a few surprises to make things fun and buzzing all day.”
“As well as the Glentress Seven… we’re planning a new evening criterium-style road event in Peebles and several free guided rides including a monster two-dayer over the hills around the valley.
“The bike demos and dual slalom will be back, with some big social events happening in the evenings, too. Some of the free events might sound too good to be true, but it’s made possible thanks to all the enthusiastic local volunteers who are into biking, sharing their passion and sharing the Tweed love.”
