Mountain Bike Coaching & Guiding for Women in Scotland

Based at Glentress Forest just twenty five miles south of Edinburgh, Swift Trails run mountain biking courses, guided rides, bike maintenance workshops and family fun days – all designed to inspire confidence in the female biker.

We believe mountain biking should be accessible to all riders regardless of their fitness or skill levels. Whether its fun and relaxed mountain biking, riding some of the most stunning mountain bike trails The Tweed Valley has to offer or developing your riding technique and confidence with qualified British Cycling coaches, Swift Trails guarantees a positive and memorable experience.

Not sure if these girls make me feel really old or really young but either way I certainly feel really alive after an afternoon blast down the trails at Cademuir. Lots of fun. Thanks girls! #girlswhobike #gotweedvalley #mtbgirls

“I don’t have time for an epic” I say to @creativebadger. 50km later and an awesome ride over the Old Drove Road to Yarrowford. And back via the Gordon Arms. Gubbed! #bordersdroveroad #tweedvalleygravel #swifttrails #bikeadventures

Top morning out with these fabulous girls- not put off by the 40 mph winds we put in the miles on the climb to enjoy what must be one of the best descents in the Tweed Valley. Topped off by a great lunch @loulabelles_sweet_treats Happy New Year everyone. Looking forward to some more rides like this in 2019 #gotweedvalley #girlswhobike #tweedvalleygravel #swifttrails #loulabelles

Today we biked up Glen Elchaig in what can only be described as a quintessential Highland landscape- how bizarre to find the Inverinate Estate has been owned by the Prince of Dubai for over 20 years. Or maybe not?! Interesting discussing it with the locals. #highlandadventure #gravelbikes #westerros #inverinateestate #killilan #findra

My first time with Belles on Bikes Borders for a pretty fast paced ride round the amazing Talla Loop. Stunning route and good company. Thank you Belles for welcoming me to the group - a really incredible ride. #talla #bellesonbikes #walloftalla

We’ve had some super night rides this Autumn and as the winter descends on us we’re still getting out. Familiar route round Barnes Estate with the added bonus of Neidpath Castle lit up and towering over us as we made our way back to Peebles alongside the Tweed. #bikevalley #tweedvalleymtb #gotweedvalley #nightriding #mtbnightride
