12 Days of Tweedlove – Day 10

May 18, 2015

DAY 10 – Monday 18
Local rideouts

Monday is a riding day for the TweedLove staffers, with the weather being as mental as it has been, there’s been doing a lot of tyre talk. It’s not coincidence that many of the Tweed Valley (or should it be Tweed Glen?) locals run a WTB Vigilante and now WTB has come on board as official sponsors of the EWS. They’ve even made a natty custom saddle for the event.

“…blah, what tyres?… blah… what cake?… blah tyres…”

Not this bit, dummy. That hill over there!
Good enough to park on…

For everything Tweedlove, get on over to www.tweedlove.com – and if you’re there already, grab a local and ask them to show you Neil’s Boner…

Singletrackworld's ex-Editor At Large

With 25 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps holds the record for the longest-running mountain bike magazine editor in the world. He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994. Chipps stepped down as Editor in April 2026 after 25 years at the helm. He's now wondering what to do next, while riding his bike in the French Pyrenees, where he also runs some gites.
