Innerleithen mtb Red xc loop: 2024

The 2024 Innerleithen red xc loop, with the new diversions onto Angry Sheep.
Its a great trailcentre loop. Mainly fast flowy descents, and unlike some trailcentres (*cough, Kirroghtree) you dont climb all day and somehow arrive at the bottom of a hill!! The descents 90% are downhill without any of the rubbish contouring/uphill pedalling i find with alot of trailcentres.

6:44 Minch Lower downhill continues
7:36 Angry Sheep

Nice one. Love the Bike too. I fear that 6months of ebiking I will struggle with that on my poor negelected Nukeproof Scout 🤣🤣 (an excuse to improve my fitness I ear your cry!)

haha yes, that will be a shock when you get back on it!! And no rear suspension will make it very uncomfortable!! I find though, my full suspension feels incredible after riding the hardtail for a bit, and i actually make lines i haven't ridden before because of how much more confidence i have in it

Hey Alex, it would be nice if you could share the gps files of your rides too
Cheers!

I didn't just ride the red loop that day, I went round to Golfie afterwards, so it wouldn't be much use to you. I'd have to create another profile, as i've lots of private rides on my trailforks accont too! But this loop is part of the official trail centre, so is very well signed, even with the storm closed trails its not haard to follow.

Thanks for your reply. I have actually done this trail. I'm more interested in those that are not well marked. I live in Galashiels but I'm not from here. Hence, I'm still learning what the possibilities are... cheers!

ahh, I try to add names of all the trails in the videos anyway, so you can find them on trailforks easily enough. I think pretty much every trail I know in the valley is now on trailforks anyway
