Nice colour. Not done much cycling in Aberfeldy area passed through it plenty of times when Munro bagging . Need to check it out next time.
Thanks! You'll want to aim for an area known as Glassie bike park/the bunkhouse. Check it on YouTube at some point. A lot of work being done up that hill 👍🏻
 
It is beautiful up there 👍

The steyning trails are great too, if a little extreme for a novice.
Even the blue run is pretty difficult but I'm getting faster every time.

There are some massive features, if you're an experienced ride/jumper I suspect you'd have a lot of fun up there.

Ebike is a must though, the push up is a killer!
 
I frequently ride from Chichester up to the South Downs Way then drop into the West Dean Estate where there are lots of trails and bridleways, but I'd never make it there without an eBike.

On Friday dropping back through Venus Wood (yes!) followed a rough track until I came to this fence which I figured I'd have to lift the bike over (or go back) ...

... until I figured out that the overgrown gate could be opened! 20230609_160916.jpg

You got me intrigued, where are they?

I know there are a couple of trials off to the right hand side as you come up changtonbury hill from the car park and the old lions trail is to the left.
 
Heart attack in yellow, ends at Wiston estate car park
Ring Sting green.
Tight crack pink, drops you at the A24 if you follow it to the end. From there, you can cross the road & head into Worthing Crematorium & find a trail that has a yellow gate at the bottom of it. Follow it up a steep climb & it brings you out at a field where you can turn right to head back towards the south downs way or left through a gate back towards Long Furlong/Worthing.

Heart attack downhill is steep & dog rough with deep ruts in places, definitely take care. Ring sting is loose gravel but fast downhill & tight crack is a short, fast singletrack which is pretty overgrown now - got twatted by a branch on it last week. As with all SDW trails, beware of people, some of those trails have blind corners & dog walkers, runners, horse people etc. are everywhere.

Bangor, N Ireland earlier.

My goodness this is just incredibly good weather for a pootle. Had a quick scoot out to try out new forks ( took a punt on the half price Pikes at CRC/Wiggle - so far so very good)

And broke the 1K mark.

Another hot, dusty, and just lovely grand day out.

El Scorchio here today so decided on a grand tour tying in my various local runs and also test battery range . Good day but MC sometimes plays up so no exact final tally. I checked it was still connected a lot of times and it was but it has went aglae the last 12 miles at top of Bin Hill is last I can confirm at least so I can't figure out the total mileage. Guessing add another 10 . So 43 miles at least and I also went Turbo last 6 miles so ???? . Anyway that's 8700 miles about 240 charges from that battery I'm thinking I can't complain about that. May have to do it all again next week if the weather keeps up.

Yeah, a price war has broken out for even current stuff, and not only biking gear, virtually everything. Great time to buy if you have the cash ...

Well, I'm out for awhile. Had a fast paced off a shoulder landed on a root. Surgery later today, getting plated. MTB wins vs collarbone!

Double collarbone fracture. Wife did that going OTB of an off road bike, piece of collarbone also severed an artery. Had to be air medevacked off Salisbury Plain, she was lucky to live through it.

Easily done no matter how good you are or think you are , simple little thing and your off.. Lots of end of life as we know it accidents in all things we do .
I must be despondent tonight.
