They are also holding their Summer Baw Lads Baw Breaker Sportive on 1 July – described as ‘brutally beautiful’.  More on it can be found here.

In a new take on the gravity enduro format The POC King and Queen of the Hill,
will see riders compete to be crowned the ‘official ruler’ of the Glentress
trails, widely recognised as Britain’s best trail centre.

This is tough love, TweedLove-style. The course will take riders
to near the very top of Glentress, and then right back down again, by way of a
series of timed race and linking stages, with riders required to have at least
one uphill stage included in their overall points score. If you’re going to be
the king or queen of Glentress, you’ve got to rule the whole hill, which means
you need to be decent at going up as well as a ripper coming down.

The emphasis is squarely on great trail riding for seasoned
racers and recreational riders alike, and for anyone who’s interested to try
this format of fun on a bike, this event is the perfect opportunity. You can
choose which sections to take it easy, and when to blast warp speed!

The course features a massive final descent stage, running from
near Spooky Wood all the way back down to Peebles on a course comprising a big
proportion of natural trails. No change of bike or tyres is allowed during the
race, and with so many different kinds of surface and riding, the debate has
already started as to the best kit for the day.
