[Closed] Pentlands/Glentress Wednesday night ride

Good idea!

Pentlands were surprisingly dry last week but haven't been up since. Might be able to do a recce tomorrow...

I'm supposed to be off shredding innerleithen gnars during the day but might be able to join a GT ride after, as long as nobody minds me being veeeery tired and slow 😉

Pentlands were not bad last night, but maidens was the usual wet/muddy mess it normally gets into after a bit of rain.

Since the Pentlands are rideable and I've not ridden them in an age who can make 7 at the bonaly shop?

I might be up for a spin with my shiny new light.

Pissing down now and has been for the last hour or so 🙁

Are the pentlands likely to be too wet the rain today?

well, it is always tricky to call and comes down to personal choice I guess, you could argue it isn't going to get any better until it freezes anyway but then on the other hand maybe it is best not to ride the bad bits.

I was up weekend before last and phantom's lower section was terrible, OK on the upper, black hill was OK (the collapsed section is even worse now though), and along the reservoirs was wet in patches. you can always come up with a relatively dry route, it just might not be very exciting. A 50 lumen limit on lights might jazz things up a bit...

[quote=bigjim ]black hill was OK (the collapsed section is even worse now though)That bit is going to need some major work - maybe a re-alignment along a higher track?

Anyone else interested?

awrite chaps, I'll be up for some pentland stuff, just gettin gback into the old biking after a long layoff, got a new bike, light on the way but unfit and well slow just now 🙂

I might head down to Glentress.

If its a limited route then its probably better to head to glentress if people can make it. I've got a space in my car if anyone needs a lift.

just been down to GT and its surprisingly dry. Wish I'd seen this first, though!

It'd be good to see these up and running again 🙂 - but I cant make tomorrow evening 🙁

There doesn't seem to be enough interest for ride this week so I'll try again next week.

I was at the shop at 7, sorry should have been more affirmative. Did a good loop with the hervelo girls, it was very muddy though!
