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.

Very chilled morning with @morebikeslesscoffee sessioning a few trails at Inners. Think we nailed this rooty drop into a tight right- hand corner pretty well! #adrenalineuplift

Always so much fun riding with these girls. Back to #trailfairyplan for a second visit. Last week snow and ice this week wind and rain!

I think there’s a saying “ there’s no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing”. There may have been a mild storm a-raging this morning but it didn’t stop these Winter Warriors from getting out on the trails and doing a serious work-out. Awesome!! #winterwarriors2019 #girlswhobike #glentress

Quite pleased with my first attempt at cooking vegan with tofu. Thanks to Val @ Peel Cafe for the Crispy chilli tofu recipe. May go easier on the chilli next time - fairly hot hot hot! #peelcafe #crispychillitofu

These ladies were certainly deserving of their Winter Warrior status today. I wondered if anyone would turn up and very pleased when they all did. MTB in today’s winter wonderland was amazing. #winterwarriors #winterwonderland #gotweedvalley #tweedvalleymtb #glentress #swifttrails #womenwhobike

Snow ride this morning at Cademuir with @jessiemaymorgan - rode some great trails , admired the stupendous view- talked about life. Not bad for a Wednesday morning.

It’s not every day you get to ride with a European MTB endurance champion! Fantastic morning with Naomi Freirich who shared loads of top tips and answered loads of questions about her journey as an athlete and adventurer. Then back to @findraclothing for coffee and some exclusive discounts on their clothing range. All part of the truly awesome #peeblesoutdoorfilmfestival - films and presentations all weekend #eastgatetheatre

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
