Tell us where you’ve ridden.

Anyone cycled Craigellachie and have waypoints/directions/routes?
Andrew was asking where we went tonight on the club ride (apologies, the route includes half of my ride home before I turned it off):

It was cold but clear with an amazing sunset and dry trails. We went round Loch Ardinning which was fine apart from a few bits the cows had churned up.

Hi folks
Ride report to follow but below are a few pics from the epic that was the Ben Lawers massif on Sunday ridden by Donald, Captain Mainwaring and myself. Suffice to say it was an absolute cracker of a day out. Definitely not one for those whose tastes don’t extend to hikey bikey but the descents were outstanding and worth the effort to get to.
Cheers

Lone GMBC rider report – ‘utterly’ knackered!
Contrary to sound advice, I did the clockwise version. Sunny, cool morning, giving way to persistent headwinds (whichever direction I was going) in the afternoon. No other mtbers seen doing anti-clockwise route, but did meet some chaps doing Braemar to Blair Atholl.
Being an experienced hillwalkwer, who has always come off of the hills with spare food, in case of emergencies, I committed the cardinal sin of running out of fuel about half way round, and did not have enough energy for the uphills – so much walking to save energy! No excuses. I did have ample water though, and made the most of the downhills, especially the ‘brake burning’ descent to Daldhu – as Graham has previously advised me, I might need to upgrade my Formula Oros to Avids!
Most of the boggy sections were dried up, and the singletrack to the east of Beinn a Ghlo was good for my level of skill!
Highly recommended and will do again. Yes, I would tend to agree that anti-clockwise is the way to go, but Idid enjoy this!

Graham, if you’re reading this it was awful and you didn’t miss a treat. In fact you’d have been glad to have stayed at home nursing your knee …… for everyone else, keep reading. Continue reading
Kev and I plan to do this on Sunday, who else is in? Are we leaving from Aberfoyle rather than the Ben Venue car park at Loch Achray? I know the route from Achray but not familiar with the one from Aberfoyle.
Can you confirm.
Cheers
