[Closed] MTB in Scotland

Where about are you?

Near Aboyne, about 30 miles west of Aberdeen

Fill yer boots up here, just head out

You can ride where you like so long as it is responsible. Woods in your local hills = fine.

Paths busy with hundreds of walkers or on a wet boggy area = debatable.

Paths which cut through someone's back garden close to their residential home = not fine.

We spent the last 10 years summer holidays in Ballater and found that cycle highlands were very helpful with route advice.
The whole area is full of great riding to suit most tastes, I am quite jealous!.

There is a lot of fantastic riding all around you out there, you are going to be very happy as you start exploring.

Here's a start:

Absolutely no good riding here in Dee side......save yourself, and return South immediately 😉
Cyclehighlands or my email in profile. I'm in Ballater so could show you around this end of the valley.

That's great guys. I'll have a look and explore.
Not been on a bike since Chamonix in 2012! So need to lose some weight and get fit.

There's also Aboyne Nomads on Facebook. They have an active female group that goes out on rides for all levels, called the Nonads, Mrs gooner would be very welcome. They recently finished a jump park in Aboyne too.

Nonads....

Very good ...

At my age I need to keep both wheels on the ground!
