Scottish Borders visit to Peebles Cycling Club.
Few weeks ago the SD Team was hosted in the Scottish Border region by a lovely couples. Kevin & Trish.
My visit was aimed to explore the lovely area and to meet the amazing Peebles Cycling Club during their annual Hill Climb Race.
On Saturday morning a couple of us from the SaddleDrunk Team flew to Edinburgh. We directed ourselves South, about 1 hour drive in the astonishingsceneries to reach a little place called Broughton.
The cottage was hidden deeply into the nature, the only sound waves were from the dogs welcoming us and the essence of the flowers was blown toward us by the a gentle breeze.
After a nice quick homemade soup and a bacon batty,we hit the road.Within few minutes I was stunned by the lovely roads and all the surrounding factors.
KC & PJ decided to take us to do the Talla an amazing place not far from their location. For them it was just an everyday ride. Talla had an interesting sign at the start, 20% advisory road sign. WOW,it was a nice tasty climb with a 39-23 was nice to challenge for 2.5km.
After reaching the top,we stop to wait for the boys at the back and a couple of panoramic shots.
We, then carried on and to be honest with you, there are not enough words to describe the scenery and the peace that this location was sending to us "Concrete Jungle Residents".

If you have never been to Peebles you should consider it. Not far from Edinburgh & the airport you can enjoy great time with the family but also do some road biking and MTB at the nearby Glentrees Forest home of various MTB champions.
A Social Gathering after the Hill Climb,before the social ride.
The following it was the time for the Annual Social Hill Climb for PCC. This Time Trial Climb Race was before a Sunday Social Ride.
It was beautiful to sit in the pack with the club members to listen their stories and experiences on the 2 wheels.
The SD team is pleased to announced that we are now one of the 2 kit suppliers for Peebles Cycling Club.

A visit to one of our Sponsors.
The SaddleDrunk Team (minus Carlos) flew out to Scotland to visit one of the Team sponsors last Friday.
Part of our principles at SaddleDrunk is to meet the people behind the team. These people matter a lot to the SD Team enabling us to achieve great results. These are the sponsors.
We traveled to the Moorlands to arrive at Charlie Mils Coffee Roasting House. The drive was just flabbergasting by the scenery.
While I was driving, I hoped that I could rivet on the bike, this was due to the great presence of hills. The element of the weather made it even juicer.
After my brain was blown away by the beauty of the location, the staff at CMCRH provided astonishing hospitality. We were welcomed with copious variety of Home-Made Scottish delicacies. We were left speechless by X Y & Z stories about the history behind CMCRH. We felt intoxicated by the joy to being part of their lives.

We sat on the coffee beans bags to taste the various blends available from the TIP TOP to the KOM. Just a full on initiation of a pleasant tachycardia (heart rate that exceed normal range).
Loads of ideas and projects erupted from this coffee scented atmosphere. The freedom of cycling was streaming along our veins letting us to feel SaddleDrunk.
We emphasize the simplicity and the purity of the CMCRH coffee. We will now always look forward to drinking their coffee blends during our daily routines, meetings, parties & gatherings.
You can purchase their coffee via this link.
The SD team would like to personally say thank you for hosting us.
