Hi, checked with the Tontine, yes fully booked for that date, block booking for a wedding :(

When were you thinking of coming up? I can check up with the Tontine if you need.

Usually the tontine hotel in peebles, more ideas here http://tweedlove.com/

http://tweedlove.com/ has accomodation links. When are you coming up?

Snowing heavily at the moment….

+1 http://tweedlove.com/ especially the EWS enduro world series, entries available shortly, but watch, it sells out very quickly, as you get to race meet the pros.

North face lumber pack? a few on ebay just now

+1 for Cluedo, the simpsons version. After 5 rounds of guesses, Granny says so I’ve got to guess who stole the necklace? Oh Christmas joy…..

Hi Legend, Mrs Ivnickkate suggests this link http://www.ettrickandyarrow.co.uk/
Lots of accommodation outside selkirk.

Well done it was a chilly night. :-)

May I complicate matters? :wink:

Hi mtbtom, not done it recently, no changes afaik, but weather conditions are perfect for it just now. When are you doing it? As I could help if you need someone local to call if you have any mechanicals etc.

LMT means the County

Hi, as mentioned Tontine has good food, or try the newly refurbished Cross Keys, now a wetherspoons with a big beer garden, its down the Northgate part of town

Hi Mbnut, look here http://tweedlove.com/ Or pm me your address and i’ll try and send the ews route maps and newsletter.

Hi Ewan,

Morocco is one the countries that is sometimes excluded from travel insurance polices. Best to check if your potential policy covers there.

My mate found out the hard way, crashed his motorbike in the mountains, and couldn’t ride. Morocco used to insist that whatever you took into the country, you took home. Hence he was forced to stay a month there, until he was able to sort his bike.

This probably is of no use to you whatsoever. My mate has a good story though.

Hi Vinny, Seriously though. The climbing doesn’t appear to be as brutal as in previous years. I rode the course again tonight. Very nice. Hope to see you on race day.

It’s not the climbing that you should be worried about 8O

Bought and downloaded, thanks jon & sweepy. 2 happy children……for now :-)

Hi Northwind, we’ve put a tunnel under the ponds so that we can increase the amount of mean trickery……. :wink:

Hi D, see you soon. C

okay so can we download to Mrs Ivnickkate’s tablet, then transfer to the kids’ tablets. told you there was going to be numptie content. :-)

Hi Jon, thanks. But am trying not to put financial details onto kids tablets in case they accidentally buy in game items.

Hi D53, if you come down to the Expo event village on Tweed Green, you will be able to get lots of info. And if you want to volunteer to help for a couple of hours, even more info. http://tweedlove.com/

The local campsites are in the above link. Although the one at Lauder is too far away. I’ll be the one at the expo village being shouted at advised by Mrs ivnickkate.

hi yourguitarhero,

the organiser needed a time/distance for the course, based on an average, unskilled unfit rider, oh that’ll be me then :-)

Ace pics PP, we’re staying near Robin Hood’s Bay. The kids can’t wait, bikes, buckets and spades, kites and metal detector at the ready. Although the kites and metal detector belong to the big kid. :D

Thanks PP, I’m leaning the mtb way. Depends how many bikes I can fit on the car.

Thanks everyone for their advice. STR, my road bike is about 27 years old…. :-)

Yes, Some spaces still available. I’ll be working at the event village.
