According to reports, mountain biking as well as the area’s trails and facilities managed to contribute approximately £9 million to the local economy.
A survey which is set to be published this week shows that mountain biking facilities such as 7stanes centres, which spread from Glentress to Dumfries, have garnered nearly 400,000 mountain bikers last year. As a result, the area got a significant increase in the number of visitors.
