Visited the Filmhouse to catch the Edinburgh Premiere of "Follow Me" which, while it was no "Seasons", did give me the urge to get out and razz the Duster around some city singletrack.
I tried this last year after the premiere of Seasons and succeeded in hitting every tree/rock/ditch on the way down the hill, but this time I managed to channel a tiny bit of freerider and spent the evening with the back wheel going sideways round everything and finding new ways to pump trails faster than I'd ridden them before 😀
For anyone who fancies a play on a sunny evening I strongly recommend paying the woods around Mortonhall a visit, some beautiful singletrack which will keep you entertained all evening, so long as you're prepared to pedal at it!
Sounds good 13th floor , Do you mean beside Mortonhall Golf course near the Braids?.
Ian, if you fancy more razzing I'm heading to Inners tomorro to ride some of the Merida trails, so text/call before 10 if your interested...
Though follow me was OK but a bit too many supermans for my taste!
Yep, there's one line in particular i've been sessioning, starts relatively flat with some very subtle rollers that you can pump, then you hit a wee corridor of trees with some rooty take offs before a savage blind left/right corner over a fallen wall, then you hit a sequence of four or five mini step downs over the foundations of some unbuilt houses, could ride it all night 8)
Might be a bit boring on anything but a stiffened up singlespeed hardtail though...
Thanks stu, got plans in the morning then might be heading out with robgarrioch in the pm.
