Hi,
Despite the change in weather, heading up north this weekend to try some new routes. Plan is to do the Glen Affric rides in Kenny Wilson’s book. Can anyone (or Sanny??!) give any tips/advice about them? Or, and other nice rides around there?
Cheers,
Sam
Hiya,
Anyone up for riding somewhere on saturday? Working friday- Boo. Not too fussed where within reason.

Well, it may not have been the epics others did last week, but myself, John, and Barry stayed a bit closer to home on a lovely sunny day.
Ride was dead easy to navigate, in fact it is a walking route, and with it being the holidays, quite busy! Most bikers we met were going in the opposite direction, missing out on the long single track decent.
as Neil said, we opted to do the Cobblers route swtichbacks, then onto a long fire road climb. No water in the crossing, so dry feet not a problem. Fast and loose fire road descent, then headed up to Lock Sloy for a wee look and some grub, then blasted back on the single track.
All in all, a really nice wee ride if you don’t have all day to go too far. A quick stop at the pub for a isotonic shandy, in the sunshine topped it all off.

Hi,
With the weather forecast looking great for Saturday, me and John are heading up to Arrochar to try a new route- well, new to us! Its called Coire Grogain from Kenny Wilson’s book.
Description is 18km from Arrochar off into the hills. Looks good, with some forest track and single track descents. Book suggests more decents than climbs, but that can’t be right!!
We have a map and the ability to navigate should anyone else want t come along.
Meet at 11am at the main car park in Arrochar- first one you come to as you head through the village. Don’t know how long it’ll take-maybe 3 hours? Graham and Neil did it last year, and can perhaps shed some light.
Let me know if anyone fancies it. Mobile is 07792605021.
Cheers,
Sam
