Staying in Alnwick in a few weeks and I have a day pass for a ride. Any recommendations?

Ideally 20miles ish, preferably technical trail type stuff. Ideally not much farther north

I was tempted to nip up to Glentress but surely there's some good stuff nearer?

Thrunton woods and Simonside could be worth a look, fair trek to go up to Glentress for a ride from there like

According to Google maps Inners is 1h50 and Glentress 2h. Probably more at Glentress for a full day, I recall Inners is just an up and down, albeit a pretty big one!
