What a difference a week makes

  By ,

Dear Mugdock,

I nearly gave up the ghost on you after last weeks drenching and ride through your muddy quagmire. Tonight was an altogether different event, dry, almost ‘dusty’ in sections and pretty warm and fresh. It was my next door neighbour, Pat’s first foray into night riding, he went home with a big smile on his face too. The love has returned. Sorry Mugdock for nearly spurning you.

Yours appologetically,

D

2/10/12 Ride (Only a bit wet)

  By

A rather poorly attended Tuesday evening ride with only four of us out, for what was a (mostly) dry and reasonably warm winters night. Dean, Donald, myself and another rider I can’t recall rode along the westie, climbing up just to the top of Rocky and Rooty. The route down was littered with a number of fallen branches which made some of the normal lines much more interesting than normal.

Riverside wasn’t in the best shape with some sections having become rather boggy again (more trail maintenance required i think). At this point a maxle stripping caused our party to reduce to three and after saying our goodbyes, we continued on the westie to the Glengoyne distillery and came back along the pipe track which took about an hour.

We had just climbed the hill between Strathblane and Mugdock when the heavens opened and we were totally soaked. At this point we decided that we couldn’t get any wetter and just headed down the normal route to Milngavie: Snaky et al.
