Up there with work tomorrow morning and was wondering if anyone knew of any good trails that are closer than Glentress/Inners as I'll be fighting the dark...

Cheers

You could try the Ellidons just south of Melrose for a quick blast.

Alternatively if you had a little more time you could probably do something around the Three brethren above Selkirk.

There is also the Justice trail at Jedburgh. Not tried it myself yet but I haven't heard great things about it.

With the recent rain we've had this will be a wet muddy fest as it's based on non armoured trails for the main, sorry ๐Ÿ™ also it's not to everyone's taste.

The Eildons are a good option; you could either go up down what's there, or you could follow a route from Melrose over the Eildons, St Cuthbert's Way, back over the Eildons and return to Melrose.

There's a cracking Cheviot ride from Kirk Yetholm, although the ground might be a bit soggy so to speak.

Both routes on here MOD: Image removed due to malware
