We will try to get started by around 1850

The Course:
From 'post' on bike path, following bike path then forest road up Jenny's Brae...finish is at entrance barrier to Buzzard's Nest carpark in Glentress (3.1Km, 177m elevation gain)

Equipment:
Helmets please for cyclists...(and a bike obviously ! Suitable for mountain bikes and CX bikes)
Course suitable for road or trail shoes
You might want a headtorch/bike lights for the way home...it will be dark by 1930...

The Rules:
First team (Riders/Runners) to get five team members to finish
No short cuts (not this time anyway...)
There will be no official timing...but we will want to pour over your Strava stats later on...
No dog assistance...
No punching, kicking or biting....

The Runners:
All welcome....

The Riders:
We have three Moorfoots on bikes at this time, but let me know if you have anyone else interested to join...I'm still recruiting...

After the Finish:
There might be time for a short sociable loop around one of the trails, before returning back down Jenny's Brae to Peebles...back at Kingsmeadows car park for around 1930/1945

All a bit experimental this time round, but I'm sure we will be able to 'refine' the format/course/rules to repeat again....

Cheers...

Kenny
