The Ravens Outdoor PodcastMonologue #1 The strange and sudden end of Tweedlove.Gutted doesn't really cut it with this one. What a blow to the MTB scene in The Tweed Valley and across the country. Tweedlove is over and I understand why. But it's a bitter pill to swallow for many reasons. This is not meant to be a commentary on community issues or individual decisions made by anyone. Just my general thoughts on how the loss of this iconic event might affect us. The local community and MTB lovers in that community. 2024-09-0224 min
