** PLEASE NOTE LOCATION CHANGE **
Due to a change in water levels in the River Tweed, organisers have decided to change the venue for the launch photocall for TweedLove 2011 to a location in Peebles (meeting at Neidpath / Hay Lodge Park car park). See details below.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

TWEEDLOVE BIKE WEEK
A week of bike riding and good times on and off the bike in the cycle-friendly Tweed Valley in the Scottish Borders from Saturday 11 – Sunday 19 June 2011. Tweedlove is organised by locals and showcases the best on and off road riding in the area. Loads of the events are free. Full details at: http://tweedlove.com/
The Tweed Valley is an area with hundreds of miles of the country’s best trails, tracks and roads. So it’s not surprising that in the valley there are a remarkable number of resident bike nuts, of both the mountain and road variety, to whom biking is a big part of life.
It is their enthusiasm, generous support and community spirit that makes TweedLove such a great success.
Entries are open for some events. However, full information and entry details for some events will be announced on Tuesday 19 April. To keep updated with programme information:
