Kinlochleven 18-19 Apr

By Krzysztof April 16, 2015 May 3, 2015 Upcoming rides

Hi all,

I’m planing on doing two day bike trip (loops mainly around Kinloleven) as weather forecast looks great (especially Saturday!). In terms of trails I have nothing particular in mind so I’ll be travelling with my GPS with OS maps so whatever is single/double track marked on map may be my route :). The idea is to just ride starting from early morning Saturday till dusk (lights may be required), stay in a tent here: http://www.macdonaldhotel.co.uk/camping/ or here: http://www.campsiteinscotland.com/glencoecampsitemap.php drink some beer and then do the same on Sunday.

Top of Devil’s Staircase-ascent

Just 30mins climbing got Dave and I to the top of the Devil’s Staircase followed by the descent down to the land rover track where we met up with 3 riders. It turned out they were doing the Westie they lost their fourth rider on the jump off the bridge heading towards Rowardennan. Turns out the had ridden with Doug McDonald in Basque. We then ‘cheated’ and rode up on top of the water pipes. The Ciaran Path bit early, by swallowing Dave’s front wheel. I was experimenting with flatties and managed to bounce off the bike, that’s my excuse. 1 hr of downhill singletrack, doesn’t get much better. A quick coffee and cake stop at the Ice Factory fired us up for the climb out of Kinlochleven. Last time I did the route It broke my bike and I had to walk back, I am please to say this time it was only damaged.
