12 Days Of Tweedlove

In the countdown to the Enduro World Series coming to Peebles and Tweedlove once again, we’re featuring a ’12 Days of Tweedlove’ so that you can a) count down to the EWS but more importantly b) see what’s going on every day from here on in. The canny people know that there’s a lot more to Tweedlove than just the EWS. So, make sure you keep an eye on the Tweedlove website and see what’s on here. And if you’re close by, then get on down!

Don’t worry, the trail hairdryers have been out since this shot.

Teenage Dirtbags
Local Rideout

TweedLove kicks off with a rideout to the awesome Inners enduro trails. Meanwhile local high school teenagers ride with guest MTB shredders from France. Big thanks to Shand, Scotland’s hand built bike company, for sponsorship of the rideouts. And bigup to Alpine Bikes who are supporting the whole of TweedLove this year and are also running the mechanical service stations for pro riders and amateurs alike at the EWS.

And here’s a quick video to remind you about some of the high points of last year.
