Hi Guys im looking for one day rides really but rides which will fill most of a day 🙂
Carn Ban Mor
Burma Road
Rothiemurchus
Ryvona/Sluggan home made route hahah
and a day messing around at badaguish
I fancy Liarig Ghru, ive seen a youtube vid of lairig ghru with return via glenfeshie but it looks like one hell of a long ride, any ways of cytting it short slightly or alternate options
Have a look here - http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/braeriach-anyone-ridden-also-glen-geldie-and-sgurr-goath-any-experiences
You can always cut the Larig Grhu down by turning around at the pools of dee? Make it an out and back.
Cheers Pal,
I considered that because i presume after pools of dee is where it starts getting hikeybikey?
Have you managed to do it from aviemore and back in a day?
Problem is i dont want to miss out on any fun 😀 although i hear the singletrack best into rothiemurchus is the best?
LG / Feshie is chunky as is LG / Lairig an Laoigh or Lairig an Laoigh / Feshie. All are 50+ milers - a lot of which is technical riding. 65 rings a bell for LaL / Feshie. Out and back to Pools of Dee from Aviemore would be pretty gash imho. Mind you I'm not fond of anything out and back so I'm biased. Aside from that there are no bale outs once you are on it (unless you exit via the Chalamain Gap)Best riding doesn't start til Pools of Dee (heading South)
Assuming you are tackling it clockwise you can save a bit of time by fording the Dee about 4 km South of Corrour and heading down the LR track to White Bridge. High level of fitness / technical ability & good summer weather the key to enjoying these circuits.
The others you've mentioned are all relatively short
Round the Gorms will fill most of the day(light) 😉
