Hub Guide To The British Champs

The Tweed Valley is home to the British Champs this weekend with DH and XC racing action taking place at Innerleithen. As well as hosting the champs the local annual festival takes place in the town. With numbers of visitors expected to be high for both the champs and the festival Emma and Tracy from The Hub at Glentress have put together a racers guide to the area including places to eat and useful local numbers, as well as schedules for road closures etc. If you’re heading for the area then a bit of local knowledge should see you good. www.thehubintheforest.co.uk
