It’s been raining all day and a fair chunk of the snow has shifted off the hills…Ben Cleuch is still covered but if the weather remains like today it will be gone but very wet.
North Third is a proper manky slippery trail that seems to be getting killed as a decent route on a weekly basis…it’s not almost a straight line job with nothing to avoid…it’s also proper wet and slidey…
To be honest, it’s going to be very wet and incredibly manky wherever you ride…so just turn up and give it a bash…unless you are in the Ochils, you’ll be hard pushed for a 30 miler without a fair portion of it being road, but to be honest, given the weather, I’m not sure that would be bad thing…
