Lesanita2 - Can you read? Seriously this was the report on the conditions on 9th Feb (thanks to Stu_N on the first page of this thread). How much more description do you want?
Glentress - updated 9th February

[b]Conditions: Snow on all trails - slippy and icy. From Buzzards Nest height and upwards the depth of snow makes riding v.difficult.[/b]
Hmmm as usual some hard STW-types railing against 'lesser' riders. Thats what I like, bring the Pelaton/club cycling into mountain biking. Keep it up my arrogant cycling chums.
Hora, the title of the thread is
Glentress - Unrideable this weekend - where was the warning!
This is after 2 weeks of the coldest and snowy weather in years and when the description of trail conditions on the web said:
[b]Conditions: Snow on all trails - slippy and icy. From Buzzards Nest height and upwards the depth of snow makes riding v.difficult.[/b]
As you can see above there was plenty of warning, hence the rightful flaming the OP is getting...
Keep it up my arrogant cycling chums.
I disagree that there is any arrogance in the above posts, just (mostly) good natured, thoroughly deserved derision in response to an inacurrate and unwarranted criticism of a Scottish trail centre.
Hora:
1. learn to spell "peloton", [i]please[/i]
2. accept that other people do this to be good at it, even if you don't.
🙂
Some good responses to my post. I do think the thread veered though, the OP could have done some prep-homework before agree but still.
[i]accept that other people do this to be good at it, even if you don't.[/i]
I do this as I enjoy riding. I'd enjoy riding at 1mph, I love riding, doesnt matter where as long as I feel like Im gliding along effortless. If I 'did' it to be good at it I would ride daily for upto 8hrs atime. Its fun not a competition.
I'd enjoy riding at 1mph
Keep practising and you'll get there one day 😀

Depends 1mph on a 25mile ride with an epic biblical ride 😆 🙄
