The Muckle what?

The Muckle Toon Festival takes place in Langholm, about 20 minutes over the border in Scotland and is a celebration of all things outdoors – with walks, MTB rides, cross country runs, and this sportive.

You can book for the entire weekend, and camp from 19-21 June, making it a great event for all the family,  or you can visit for the ride on Sunday 21, for £18.50.

You can choose to ride 30, 60 or 90 miles, and all routes promise panoramic views of the rolling border hills, as well as challenging climbs, such as the 21% climb buried into the medium and long routes – but there will be rewarding descents to make every pedal stroke worth it.
