12 Days of Tweedlove – Day 11

Counting down every day of the Tweedlove Festival until the EWS kicks off in Peebles. This time, on Sunday, it’s the turn of the skinny of tyre…

DAY 11
Sunday 17
Skinny Sunday

Turning their backs on the trails. They’ll be sorry…

Tweedlove’s small but perfectly formed sportive ride, Skinny Tweed, has 300 riders spinning out across the beautiful roads of the upper Tweed Valley. No matter what the weather they should have dry feet as the event is sponsorsed by Sealskinz – riders can feel equally watertight in the legal department as the UK’s cycling specific legal eagles Cycle Law Scotland are also helping out. Almost as sweet as the riding, the feed stations will feature the amazing cakes from Big Bear Bakery (bakers with bikes).

Cake! Yay!

He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994.
