You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Hi all,
I'm up there for a few days next week staying in the town.
Ideally I'd make my way further up the tweed valley for some enduro antics, but it's a Family half term break so I can't be buggering off out for ages unfortunately.
But I may have chance to squeeze a couple of short local (2 ish hrs) rides in.
Looking at the map it's fairly devoid of trails and elevation so thinking road and/or gravel may be the only possible options?
Any decent routes around worth bothering with?
If it's not amazing (map doesn't look particularly promising) I might go running instead.
Penmanshiel?
Don’t know anything about the riding but the food and beer in Atelier are great.
+1 Penmanshiel 20 mins up the A1
+ 2 Penmanshiel, it's steep though (for my abilities).
Penmanshiel
Some pretty gnar gnar up there and it’s on the doorstep
Oooh and Thrunton at Alnwick, that’s fun
There is plenty of great road and gravel cycling with the Lammermuirs, Southern Upland Way and John Muir Way (relatively) near by.
Smashing - thanks! Will look into those options
Beer at The Curfew, The Barrels and Bear Claw Brewery. The Sandstone Way ends in Berwick, there’s plenty of quiet road routes but chill out and enjoy all the history (and beer) available. The beach at Spittal with your children followed by fish and chips from Foulis, or, the lovely sit in chip shop on West Street, a step back in time and delicious! Forget your bike, plenty to see and enjoy!
Penmanshiel has some great runs or you can ride up to St Abb’s and then follow the coastal path back to Eyemouth. Bit of hike a bike in some places, but amazing scenery.
