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.

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.

Fabulous day up in Dunkeld with @clarelouiseblack - now officially my favourite place after the Tweed Valley (of course) and Glenelg! 40km loop taking in Loch Ordie and the lochs north of there. Stunning scenery with the added bonus of coming across an Adder basking in the sun. Route maps available at @progressionbikes #Dunkeld #lochordie #adderscotland #mtbdunkeld #miniadventure #girlsonbikes

This wee chap had a lucky escape this afternoon- narrowly missed being squashed under the wheels of @clarelouiseblack MTB. Not often you come across an adder sunning himself in April #adders #dunkeld #blissfulday

Great morning with Carolyn and Leonie - two very confident and gutsy bikers who were wanting some tips for riding off-piste trails. #glentress #davestrail #gotweedvalley #womenwhobike

So that’s the food sorted. Starters Heinz tomato soup with oatcakes followed by cous cous and tuna. Dessert - chocolate. Plenty of fruit tea bags for ‘hot wet’ as the marines say! (Apparently)And hot choc sachets. Breakfast rice pudding with cinnamon @extremefood hope the extreme price tag is worth it! #bothyadventure #hotwet #stormyweather #birthdaytreat
