MacRetro Rider
Not strictly a retro event as I'm the only rider who adheres to retro biking by choice but a chance to ride a route around the Pentland Hills near Edinburgh starting and finishing at the hamlet of Carlops.
My friends and I have decided to do a spot of 'Old School XC' by riding a non dedicated mtb off road route up one valley and down the next. The route is based on one suggested by MBR magazine and is graded medium.
We are all a little tired of hauling ourselves down to Glentress MTB Centre near Peebles and the so called 'joys' of purpose built singletrack.
The ability of the group is mixed and we often stop to regroup. At least one of our members used to race back in the day when one bike did for all disciplines, unfortunately he is a lover of all things new and thus is retro in mind only.
So if anyone is interested, be in the carpark at Carlops village ready to roll at 12 mid day on Sunday 9th December 2007.
I look forward to any notes of interest,
Cheers
