- Thread starter Kilham5
- Start date
Got decent weather by the look of it. Lot to choose from over there. Green Mile and Beinn Bhuird ? On my list.Following last year's succesful early May Bank Holiday trip to Ballater we booked up the same accomodation again and spent four nights there from Friday 1st to departure on the 5th ..
In between times Alan , Ant , Dave, Rob, Tony & myself had a blast riding some of the best local trails in the area ..which inculded...
Friday afternoon / evening : The Green Mile
Saturday morning : Heartbreak Ridge
Saturday Afternoon: A loop which took us from Milton Tullich / Creagan Riabach/ Peters Hill/ Tom Garchory / Marquis of Huntlys Well..and cracking singletrack on the side of Crannach Hill back down to Milton .
Sunday : A rest day for me ( always the plan ) ..Tarland 2 for the rest of the lads .
Monday : Starting with a car journey to Inverry ..a there & back trip up Glen Quoich then onwards to Bein A Bhuird ..
Ant ,Dave, Rob & Tony ..made it all the way to North Top for a snowball fight ..and a stunning descent ..
Alan was really feeling under the weather having developed a heavy cold and didnt fancy the climb when at the beginning of the singletrack the gradient ramped up significantly and having looked at it myself we discussed and then did a ride up Glen Lui to Derry Lodge then following the Derry Burn up the left side to the bridge and back down the other ( where the water bars have been smoothed out to be bike friendly )
In between the riding some really nice evening meals & a few drinks ..
Our mate Wayne @The EMF was a big miss as in the end his recovery from broken ribs & shoulder cuff injuries ruled him out ..but there will be other trips ( Derbyshire next year is currently out in front ).
The pics are a mix of everyones in no particular order..
Friday evening

There's more ..but thats enough
Exactly the same here, everywhere is a sea of yellow. Fortunately neither Mrs nor me are allergic to it as some people are.
Was away for a few days loads of insect bites legs and sides no idea what's biting me.,only one tick though.

I had to google and YouTube Lucky Luke since I hadn’t heard of him.
Last night's power hour (and a bit) was followed by some lovely pizza (whole one this week)

We've had a tough race so far.
Imagine paying millions for an apartment in the most expensive area and when you look out the window every day there is a huge polluting beast blocking the view of your expensive fjord view
Weekday rides at the bike park are the best, not crowded and you get a lot of good practise.
Shhh... don't tell the youngin's about mid-week riding. Let them keep working at their jobs and clogging up the trails on weekends.
P.S.
That paint job is hella sick!
I'll disappoint you. It's just protection tape.P.S.

To the outdoor gym via forest trails.
Another day in the wonderful nature finishing up with a vegetarian Thali rinsed down with orange juice.

From what ive seen on all trails theres some pretty nice stuff there
We have everything from bunny trails suitable for beginners, to trails that only extreme experts dare ride. And since we're int he middle of civilization, there are always great places to have post-ride refreshments.
Going to be a challenging ride today. Might try going for a run later to try and create a very bizarre GPS track.
