Where in the Borders? You're spoiled for choice for purpose built routes -
Glentress? Innermessan? Newcastleton?
And remember, under the Land Reform Act, you have a legal right to take
your mountain bike more or less anywhere you like. There are masses of
tracks on any ordnance survey map, and they're all legal for you. And if
there isn't a track going where you want to go, it's legal to go there
anyway. Do read the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, but basically it's your
right to go wherever you like.

Just as defying the law of gravity through building aircraft requires
careful design and a lot of effort, so too does defying laws of
economics. It seems to be a deeply ingrained aspect of humanity to
forever strive to improve things, so unquestioning acceptance of a
free market system seems to me to be unnatural. ;; Charles Bryant
