Pitmedden. Take it seriously...
Because everywhere you look...
There are tracks leading off...
Like this one...
Fast...
Flowing...
Rooty...
Different lines...
And we barely...
Scratched the surface...
Simply a brilliant day. So glad we pestered Rob into coming, since he could still mind where he was going even though the last time he'd been up here there were still highwayman afoot.
Singletrack leading off here, there and everywhere, there's so much that needs following. You could spend days up there, just riding to get lost. This needs to be on the calendar for a proper organised ride, it will be worth the trip.
Didn't start well though - no shows from mikee and Rob, but Keith was insistent with the texts, and wouldn't take no as an answer from Rob. While waiting, we popped out for a quick loop of the clink - within 5 minutes, my chain snapped and then 10 minutes later Keith's did the same. How we laughed - luckily Keith had a bag of Shimano pins.
Back to the car park to pick up cheery 'morning person' Rob and out on to the trails proper, with Rob leading the way. Rob barely put a wheel wrong with the guiding, and following our noses worked out pretty well too.
I will be back. Again, and again. Seriously, if you like forest singletrack, it's worth the effort. It's a gem.
