MrsMM and I are spending next week in Monreith.
I searched for local MTB options and we're only 30 mins or so away and..
I am allowed to pack my bike (4" travel hardtail - can you tell i'm not a 'black route' kind of guy!).
I am allowed out to use it ๐Ÿ™‚
Anyone around to say 'Hi', go ride and have a pint?

@Nobeer - on hold so I plan to have a full fridge ๐Ÿ˜‰

@singlespeedstu - fair point, well made, i've been known to blob around the blacks at Llandegla... not the new stuff though.

@davy-g - time / day... no real idea just yet - any day or time that's best for you?

Just to prove that the bike you ride is kind of irrelivent here's sofaking riding the Mcmoab chute on his fatbike.

about 10:30 is a good time for me, gives you time to do the Red/Black and still get back for a coffee... lemme know day/time you are heading over to Kirrie...

Hi Davy. Sorry for the delay in posting - we're in a lovely spot which has no mobile signal!oolong at the forecast, tomorrow, Thursday, is the best bet - I'll aim for 10.30 at kirrie - we're about 40 mins drive away.
Edit - mobile number added to profile - i should have a signal at about 9.45 in the morning!
