Hi,
I’m up in Scotland riding for a few days after the World Cup and before heading to inners for the enduro this weekend. I was thinking of heading to Dunkeld tomorrow to ride and was hoping for any trail tips and also how it rides after rain as it’s been a very wet day today
Cheers
I was on one of the easier trails (Doug/Dan) with my kids on Saturday. It was very wet and chewed up we did one run and called it a day. I wouldn't be going back on principle for a while. I think it is too wet. I didn't build the trails and I don't want to trash them.
I am an atheist, but would rate some of today's showers as "biblical".
Comrie Croft might be a better bet .
Na man, as a reasonable local I think it's best to stay away for a wee while. The weather today was nuts and any riding will totally chew the trails up. Nothing rides well in the soaking wet as it's all forestry natural.
Comrie croft on the other hand. Good shout!!
Thanks. Seems like time to have a rethink.
I was likely to be riding there tomorrow. I've ridden Pink Floyd after wet weather and it was like a log flume, but Rake & Ruin seemed pretty weather-proof and Crow's Nest and Rudder seem like they'd dry quickly.
I've not ridden the Atholl Hill or Hermitage trails but was thinking of checking some out tomorrow - are they the bits you guys are thinking of?
Interested in thsi as well , my son is doing the mtb borders Downhill at the weekend and i was going to take the wee hardtail to kill some time.
Weather today and tomorrow dry apparently so I would expect the ground to dry quickly at this time of year?
Yep, nice breeze too but Saturday’s forecast is poor. Open exposed bits should get a good dry.
Dunked has it's own microclimate. It can be cracking the flags 5 miles down the road and still be cold and damp there. Comrie Croft is a good weatherproof option.
