I’ve put this event in the calendar (10th May) as I reckon it’s one of the best there is in Scotland. It’s well organised (by the same people who do the Craggy Island Tri) and with it’s choice of distances it’s suitable for novices & experienced riders alike. The riding in the area is fantastic, the food stops were well stocked, the whole event is relaxed and friendly and has great camping facilities. The main event is on the Saturday with a local, chilled out ride on the Sunday with the organisers. It looks like there may also be a round of SMBO planned for the Sunday if you have the energy!
I’m signed up (doing the 50km this year) and will be going for the whole weekend. Here’s more info. Anyone else up for this?
Sunday SMBO might be an option for me. Works ‘do’ on the Friday night, so doubt I’d be fit for a MTB marathon on the Saturday 🙁
That’s me signed up for the 50Km. My first MTB event!!
Hi Alden – excellent news! So it wasn’t just the beer talking in the pub last weekend then! So, if you fancy a wee excursion to ride some of the trails I’ve posted up this ride – it’s 22_mar though so the weather might not be best. April would be better but I’m busy nearly every weekend that month.

Who else is up for the Selkirk event then??
I’ll be doing it – not entered yet though
Hi,
We are thinking about it too. It will give me some motivation to get out into this horrible weather!

Super! I can’t guarantee the blue skies, hot weather and dry trails we had at last year’s event but you never know….
