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.
