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.

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
