Very excited about this news

We are super excited to be able to share this awesome news for Scottish mountain biking! The Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal has been signed today. Part of the deal confirms millions of pounds of investment into the mountain bike industry. The investment will include:

• £19m for an ambitious project to create the world’s first Mountain Bike Innovation Centre, integrated adventure Bike Park and Trail Lab in Innerleithen

• £5m to further develop the 7Stanes mountain biking network across the Borders and Dumfries and Galloway

Ministers of the UK and Scottish Governments and representatives of the five councils of the Borderlands Partnership signed the deal, which aims to drive inclusive growth and deliver significant and lasting benefits for individuals, businesses and communities, including up to 400 new jobs from the Innovation Centre and Bike Park alone!

This has been a huge part of the work of our Team, specifically our Ed, who’s job changed to fully focus his time on this project over a year ago. We’d like to thank our partners at the Mountain Bike Centre of Scotland, Edinburgh Napier University, Scottish Borders Council and the project sponsors, South of Scotland Enterprise. We are excited for the future and look forward to continuing to work on this project with our partners to bring these exciting developments to fruition.

We would also like to congratulate our Forestry and Land Scotland friends on their work in bringing about the £5million investment for the refresh of the iconic 7Stanes.

Happy flippin days!!
