The Border Raid at Kielder

May 5, 2012 from 8am to 2pm
The Border Raid is the second round of The Bike Place Marathon Series and is unique as it takes riders across the border into Scotland and back in one circuit of over 50kms. Using parts of the man made trails in Kielder and at Newcastleton with lots of interest in between - this is one not to be missed.The event is planned on the basis that each entrant is self-sufficient with regards to food and drink for the duration of the ride, and also in respect of minor repairs and punctures.The course…See More

The Winter Warmer at Kielder

February 25, 2012 from 8am to 2pm
The first of 3 rounds of the 2012 KTR/The Bike Place marathon series.Given the time of year, we run this over three shorter laps with a total of under 50kms. Just the job to get the rustiness out of those legs, and the hot food in the pub afterwards makes you realise it was a good idea after all!The event is planned on the basis that each entrant is self-sufficient with regards to food and drink for the duration of the ride, and also in respect of minor repairs and punctures.The course will be…See More
