Love that frame and paintwork, g!

Down Glentress yesterday with Keith, Velo and OCP. Snow and sun, topped off with a white pudding supper and very fine pint of Stewarts 80/- in Peebles, then a nice gentle walk back up Janet's Brae for a bit more riding.

Built it up September last year, g - Like the grip of 29+, but not a big fan of the Surly Dirt Wizards though (horrible, flexy sidewalls that they've subsequently fixed in v2 of the tyre). I think with a bit of front suspension (and decent tyres) it'd be brilliant.

I saw a couple of Radek's (as usual) excellent pics on FB - looked like a good weekend. Weather kind to you?

looks like a go anywhere do anything ride

yeah, the Saturday was typical, sun start, followed by a little hail, sun, snow, and then brooding skies, sunday was blue skies all the way. as good as the ride was, the train up to corrour on Friday evening and back from spean bridge on Sunday was STUNNING, my first time on that train line, but definitely not the last

Sunday looked like this

I'm loving the bothys Rob, last weekend was the season opener, its what you need to do to sit round a fire, sipping whiskey and talking sh!te wi your mates. I'm strictly limited to 4 summer bike weekends (and 2 winter hill walking weekends), that my annual freedom allocation.

Next up at the end of May, park up at Aultbea then pedal through the Fisherfield Forest, fingers crossed for some decent weather. I've done the fisherfield 6..... by map and compass, so hoping to see this great wilderness this time
