I recently arrived in Bergen with my bike and salty Balls shirt. Just wanted to say a thank you to a couple of people.
Firstly the guys at sykkelservice in Bergen who kindly stayed open a little late so I could come and get the gear cable I needed to go riding. They even cut the gear outer casing for me. Thanks guys.

Check out
http://www.7stanes.gov.uk/ . Glentress and Kiroughtree are my favourites but it's hard to choose between them.
If you want to make a holiday of it try and arrange to be there for the
Selkirk round of this race series next year
http://www.mtb-marathon.co.uk/ It is really close to Glentress and takes in some of the Innerleithen trail.
Edinburgh airport is the closest and if you don't want to bring your own bikes you can rent decent bikes at
http://www.thehubintheforest.co.uk/ at Glentress.
Thanks again
Eddie.
