Re: Scotland 12th July

Guys I had a bloody long but totally awesome day! We set off at around 5:50am arrived at Glentress at around 10 ish then set off nice and easy up to the first orange freeride section

then pretty much messed around at the orange for a bit then rode the red route with portions of the black thrown in for good measure then we also added in the Ewok village which was good the See/Saw was good to try.

MTBLeague, Spooky wood descent was awesome as was Super G!

Then it was on to Innerleithen, now where do I start???????? ok I'll start with the 6 mile ascent to the Summit on already tired legs from riding three hours of Glentress (inc all the messing about and photo's) just as though the 6 miles wasn't bad enough the trail builder thought it may be a good idea to make the climb even harder by placing rock step ups every 50m !!!! Aahhh legs don't work anymore!!

BUT once at the top a quick stop for a few piccy's then it was the highlight of the trip for me...................... around 6 miles of descent (not all together) with the first two and the last section 'Caden Bank' being the best of all! unfortunately no pictures of the trail features at Innerleithen as it was soooooo much fun we just didn't want to stop to take any!

Wow what a day, got back at 10:50pm

Gonna try and get an Early sunday (7am start off) to Llandegla pretty soon some time, not sure when as I have loads on over the next month or two but will try and post on here when I have an Idea! maybe Mid Aug?
