A bunch of photos from last week's rides over Kielder and Newcastleton. The Kielder reservoir ride was a great gravel route, and done on the one nice day of weather. The Newcastleton ride was done in heavy rain, which was... interesting. Still, another 7Stane ticked off the list. It's a shame that Kielder and Newcastleton's mtb routes have taken such a battering from storms and harvesting though - not a lot was open. Can't see the current weather helping with that! #livcycling #melonopticsalleycat #kielder #newcastleton7stanes
Easter fun biking, surfing and eating chocolate eggs! #newcastleton7stanes #northumberland #freezingthekidsinthenorthsea!
Headed down to Newcastleton to do the cross border ride to Kielder and back with @louc20 . The kind of ride you run out of β‘π rather cool to be standing on the border between scotland and England separated by a bridge and river. π #mtbscotland #mtbadventure #scottbikes #newcastleton7stanes

Penultimate round of the HSBC National Cross Country Series on Saturday at Newcastleton, Scottish Borders. A solid ride and 5th place for me, a few faces missing from the field but It was still a really tough shift. I rode hard and continue to be pleased with progress. Great to see @richardmardle on fire π₯ finishing 4th and huge congratulations to @hoppymerida for taking the big win in the grand vetβs π Looking forward to doing it all again in a few days time at Cannock Thanks to @colyford_cycles for the support #newcastleton7stanes #hsbcnationalxc #hsbcnationalmtbseries #hsbcnationalcrosscountryseries #totalmtb #mtbxc #mtbxco #mtbcrosscountry #axevalleypedallers #cannondale #cannondalefsi #colyfordcycles #scottishmtbtrails #scotlandmtb
This weekend me and Ben Wilco took a trip up to Newcastleton for R4 of the National XC Mountain Bike series. On the Friday we raced short track and got thrashed by some very fast youngsters but it was great fun (and hard work!). Saturday morning we entered the Open Category XC race and I got the win with Ben in 3rd, class results and a nice confidence builder for more MTB events ππΌ Fun course with plenty of climbing suited us both well π πΈ -@richardhowesphotography #mucklecc #cycling #outsideisfree #fromwhereiride #cyclinglife #lifebehindbars #cyclingpics #stravacycling #cyclingphotooftheday #alwaysriding #roadslikethese #bandofclimbers #wymtm #instacycling #xcmtb #xcmtbriders #newcastleton7stanes

It was an early start for a 7:30 meet in Kielder Water it was raining when we left and 3βc it was murky on the top of Bloody Bush but the morning got better the trails at Newcastleton are superb and it was a cracking day out!
