I recently arrived in Edinburgh and was wondering if anyone knows about XC Marathon races in Scotland and the UK. I'm talking end to end or bigger loops similar to what we have in SA. 45km half and 70km marathon races. From what I can see most races here are XCO, downhill and Enduro. All good fun, but I'm looking at exploring more than racing.
Also, could someone please point me in the direction of finding good trails and maps close to Edinbugh for a similar style of riding.
