Mountain Biking

[Begbie]

I admit it. I'm prejudiced against them. Being fit enough to ride uphill unassisted is something i aspire to and cherish. Anything else is cheating but if having a motor gives people the confidence to get outside on a bike then I'm all for it. However, the notion of spending £6k on a bike makes me shudder!!! (Retired Scottish person mentality)

I used to think the same way, now I get double or triple the runs down for the same energy burnt. I still get the same fitness but I get more fun, plus I have more energy for the bits I go mountain biking for.

Sadly thats just part and parcel of pricing these days and not inclusive to bikes.

Hired my cousin one recently, 13, and what a day. No moaning, laps and laps around glentress. So many laps he was clearing the tables at the end of the day, which would've took multiple visits otherwise.
