Glentress

[Alasdair]

I've been meaning to post about this for a few days, I was at Glentress Forest last weekend for a spot of riding and thought I should mention just how excellent it is.

Glentress is one of the 7 Stanes mountain bike parks in the South of Scotland, and it's one of the best places in Britain to ride. It gets featured every couple of issues in MBUK as it holds a load of competitions and has some excellent trails.

It's only about 25 miles South of Edinburgh, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it. Is there anyone on here that fancies heading down there for a ride (cycle) sometime?

Black route for the win!!!!

Did the double black secret stuff last weekend, they're excellent trails. There's some mad extended north shore stuff in a really dense forest. As you're heading up to Spooky Wood, where you get to the wall and you have to turn right and almost back on yourself (where the sign stating the viewpoint is 1/2 a mile away), follow the wall to the right (on the far side of the wall) until you get to the opening in the forest (which is on your left). Crazy stuff, really technical and nigh on impossible if it's been wet.
