GO Tweed Valley

"It’s a privilege to roll through these wild landscapes and beautiful empty spaces on our bikes." 🖤🚴‍♂️💛

So says Neil Dalgleish who together with his team at Hillside Outside and TweedLove have introduced thousands of cyclists to the roads (and off-road trails) around the Tweed Valley down the years.

In our latest Roadie Hero interview, we chatted to Neil about this year's 'Auld Alliance' edition of Tour O The Borders (6 Sept) – plus the Tour de France Grand Départ 2027 which we’ll have the pleasure of hosting as it passes through the valley next summer.

Check out the interview here (plus much more info about next year's Grand Depart on the TdF pages of our website):
