Cycling Coaching in the Scottish Borders
The Scottish Borders are cycling heaven—quiet roads, steep climbs, sweeping descents and some of the best scenery in Scotland. From Peebles and Innerleithen to Kelso, Melrose, Hawick and Jedburgh, the area offers outstanding terrain for structured training. Ride Revolution Scotland provides fully online cycling coaching for Borders riders who want to train with purpose and see real results on the roads they love.
Why the Scottish Borders Are Perfect for Cyclists
The Borders deliver a mix of everything—rolling farmland, river valleys, exposed moor roads and challenging climbs. Routes through the Tweed Valley and over the Moorfoot Hills or Yarrow Valley provide long, sustained efforts perfect for building climbing power and endurance. Meanwhile, the gentler roads around Kelso, Melrose and Coldstream offer flatter terrain ideal for tempo and recovery sessions.
The region is home to the famous Tour o’ the Borders sportive, a major highlight in the Scottish cycling calendar, and hosts countless local club rides and charity events. Our coaching ensures you’re ready for these challenges, combining data-driven planning with a deep understanding of the area’s geography and conditions.
