The new Glentress trails will blow you away
Met up with Andrew at Glentress to ride the new trails. Tail head to top of the red (twitcher) took me 25 mins
The new Glentress trails will blow you away and I don't just mean because of the wind. The berms are well built and the jumps can all be rolled. That doesn't mean you won't be able to progress because you will.

New Black taster trail at Glentress
Glentress has had a series of new trails built. The new black taster at trail lets you see what kind of skill level you'll need to ride the longer black trail "Castle Black".
close pass 15 07 23
Particularly like how close the second car is. If you are videoing your rides make sure you can see the bike in it.
I hate red light jumpers.
I don't get very many close passes on my road rides as I take up an offensive line in the road. This guy had plenty of time to slow down and stop at the light.

Using VIRB to overlay power lets you see where you are putting down the most or where you are being inefficient.

Snippet of fools gold at the new trails at tarland
Tarland trails 2 opened this week so drove up to check them out. Tarland trails are all flow/jump trails with the odd rock garden. Don't go if you want tech.
This is a wee bit of the fools gold jump line at tarland trails 2

Thornielee - These trails will test you and your bike to the max
Been Trying to get a ride together with Jamie & Andrew for 4 years now. Between covid, injuries, work and family it hasn't happened.
@streetpigeonmtb edit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_mVVTdA7U8
After I caught covid last August my fitness went to pot. I was wheezing going upstairs. I haven't cycled much in the last couple of years and I couldn't take to the hill till I got some fitness back.
Bought a road bike at the end of November and have slowing been building my fitness back up. Have made huge improvements but I needed to get back onto the trails. Never been to Thornielee so off we went.

Amateur tackles Top Chief Fort William - Its a mean rocky descent
Top Chief is the nevis range black trail. It can only be accessed by the gondola. Top chief is a technically difficult rocky trail with plenty of obstacles to catch you out. It is not one for beginners and care should be taken while riding it. It is a significant step up from the new blue trail Blue Doon.
I haven't ridden top chief for 6 years so took it easy. Looking forward to getting back and ridding it more. Properly set up brakes and lever angle is important so you don't get any hand strain/arm pump. The trail is physically demanding on mere mortals and if you crash a trip to A&E is likely.

Fort William DH track
Just how rocky and technical are top chief and the DH trails - Very is the simple answer. Really happy with my Noah & Theo ceramic pads that did the job even with my brake dragging down the trails.
0:00 Intro
0:33 Top Chief
4:39 Downhill
These are my first runs down the two trails so I have no idea what the obstacles or terrain is like. While I am pretty slow down both I really enjoyed the ride on both and looking forward to getting back for more laps.
There are plenty of bits that can catch you out on these trails.

Pitmedden forest
Stupidly set up my camera with the incorrect ISO levels so most of the footage I recorded was unusable. Here is some snipets of the day spent with @streetpigeonmtb and a few others (below) Trails are easy to get to and the climb isn't bad at all. Easy to session different parts of the trails with some really great features which all have either chicken lines or are rollable. Put Pitmedden forest on your ride list for 2021.

Uplift at Antur Stiniog | MTB Wales
Visiting my Auntie in Wales I popped over to Antur Stiniog to meet up with @HallMarc_Trails and friends who had organised a little group ride.
First time at Stiniog and it didn't disappoint. Trails were hard going particularly on the hands with all the breaking but there wasn't anything you couldn't use a chicken line for.
