MB7 mountain biking natural trails in and around Innerleithen


"Spending a day improving my confidence and riding techniques really made me want to go out and ride the next day. A real treat was going to the natural trails where natural obstacles and challenges were only matched by the views. It was great trying out all the skills I'd improved on during the first day, it was such a blast! I want to come back for more..."

MB7 mountain biking natural riding skills title

A two day combination package for those that want to ride faster, more confidently, with more attack and totally in control. Once we have spent day one at Glentress or Innerleithen looking at improving techniques and riding confidence we'll head out to the hills proper on day two and apply all the new skills and techniques on fantastic natural trails.

ALL YEAR availability
please call or email for booking and enquiries

MB7 natural skills sessions are for those who have a sense of adventure who are keen to improve their riding but also explore the natural trails of the Tweed Valley away from the trail centres.

MB7 natural skills sessions are designed for people who have previous riding experience but want to improve their techniques and skills to take their riding to the next level. You should consider yourself an intermediate rider, confident riding red graded trails at trail centres.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

For 1-2 people it costs £145 per day.
For 3-6 people it costs £195 per day.

If you would like to hire a performance hardtail mountain bike for the session, it costs around £20 per day. We can arrange accommodation in a local bike friendly B&B for around £30 per night per person or a bunkhouse for larger groups.
