Community Service, one of the best-known trails on the Golfie above Innerleithen, reopened on 9 November after volunteers reworked it from top to bottom.

Street Pigeon MTB announced the reopening on Facebook, in a post shared by the Tweed Valley Trails Association (TVTA). The volunteers worked with permission from Forestry and Land Scotland, which manages the forest, and TVTA, which looks after Community Service as one of its adopted Golfie trails.

Street Pigeon's video, below, follows the volunteers through the rebuild and ends with a full run from top to bottom, so you can see what has changed before you ride it.

TVTA signs each of its adopted trails at the start as an ungraded, hand-built downhill trail. Where to park and the other adopted trails are on our Golfie (Caberston Forest) listing.

The video also asks riders to back TVTA, the charity that maintains the Tweed Valley's natural trails in partnership with Forestry and Land Scotland. It pays contractors to maintain the trails every week, funded by supporters and donations, as it set out in February, and runs volunteer dig days. If you ride the Golfie, you can become a TVTA supporter or donate; the QR code in the photo goes to the same page.
