Where to: To celebrate four Hérvelo members gaining their Mountain Bike Leader qualifications this year we thought we'd celebrate with a Tweed Valley classic XC loop - Gypsy Glen! This loop features some stunning views and a real sense of adventure. Although the route is graded blue, it features some steeper, rockier, more rutted natural trail than you might encounter in a trail centre. The climb up is tough (we will all be walking at points!) but we'll get through it together. Please come dressed for exposed terrain and changeable weather.

How far: Approximately 2-3 hours on the trails

What pace: Social, no drop pace.

Any stops: We'll finish with a celebratory coffee and cake lunch stop! Bring snacks for the ride.
