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
Please note: the wallride on the Essentials Free Ride trail is closed until further notice. Sorry for inconvenience.

Hub café and bike shop: Hub café and bikeshop are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays until Easter (open rest of week).

[b]Parking restrictions: Buzzards Nest Car Park, The Red Squirrel car park and the access road to these are closed to vehicles due to snow.[/b]

Trails: all open except for Wallrides section in Freeride Park (closed until further notice for review of timber features) and Super G on Red Route - closed until 20th February for maintenance work with digger. See diversion info.

[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...

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.
