Lazy Days - Mountain Biking Trail

Follow the Green Route at world class Glentress - Scotland's biggest and most popular mountain bike centre - just three miles away from The Tontine. It is a 4.5 km route suitable for beginners or families with young children. Linked to the Skills Loop next to the Buzzard's Nest car park, the Trail is one of the first in the UK to comprise mainly of tailor made single track rather than just simply forest road. This Lazy Days Mountain Bike Trail is a gentle up and down route with no scary bits! It is suitable for most people in good health so an ideal introduction to Mountain Biking if you have never tried it before.

For the committed Mountain Biker, Glentress offers some of the top mountain bike routes in Great Britain. Considered by many biking journalists as one of the best dedicated mountain bike centres in Britain, Glentress is suitable for round use (one of the requirements of the Forestry Commission was that not only should they be rideable in all weather, they should also have a working life of 20-25 years for conservation reasons). Special mention needs to go the Helly Hansen V Trail which is a 19-mile monster of a ride with everything from killer climbs, rocky chutes, drop offs, technical singletrack and blindingly fast descents with berms to whip you round corners.
