Anyone able to show me around on MTB...?
I'm staying in Aberfeldy from Fri 8th-Fri 15th May... Looking for anyone who doesn't mind me tagging along on a ride or two... I'll be bringing my eMTB and probably my XC bike too, so happy to tag along with any kind of ride... Have heard great things about the trails in the area, but not wanting to ride on my own as A) not a clue where I'm going and B) wanna enjoy the ride without the GF worrying too much (she's off on her road bike, doing the Etape Caledonian on the Sunday)...
More than happy to return the favour for anyone ever passing through Worcestershire/Shropshire and show you some of our awesome local trails down here...
Cheers
Not much help admittedly....
I have never ridden that area, and my wife an I are going end of the month, so no help for you there...
But we are planning on just using trail forks to navigate around, our experience of doing that in Scotland is excellent, its just backwards England where its more or less useless 😉
Its more focused on enduro/DH tracks than XC loops, but you can see how riders have lapped hills and pick a set of loops that suits you.
I'd normally be well up for chumming along to show you some of the trails, depending on what you're after. Unfortunately, I'm still (slowly) recovering from a broken back plus have a few other commitments this week.
However, you really won't need help "finding" the trails in Aberfeldy. Trailforks or any other trail website will take you up to the farmhouse where the trails tend to cluster around. It's then a case of just bimbling around. Dunkeld and Pitlochry take a bit more effort to find and (more so Dunkeld) are a bit more extensive plus spread out that Aberfeldy.
Trailforks really does help around Dunkeld though. I'm sure there will plenty of folks biking around Dunkeld and Pitlochry who can help out.
Ok cheers for the help so far guys.
Just got here, staying in a cottage on the grounds of Castle Menzies in Weem, just outside Aberfeldy…
If anyone is up for showing me around any trails in the area, any time in the next 6 days, I’d massively appreciate it… 👍🏻
