That guy on the Blacksheep looks like he was finding the trails unchallenging. ๐Ÿ˜‰

The only trail he did find hard was Glentrool iirc.

Three litres of wine is enough to slow anyone down.

While carrying it and after drinking it. ๐Ÿ˜

No you did not drink it all, you had to make room for some of that nasty cough-mixture you kept handing out! That red was ok, and strangely got better the more you drank (if you avoided falling on an axe)

Is this a private thread or can we all join in? ๐Ÿ™‚

What was Glentrool like? I've done all the others.

Glentrool was really stunning scenery...which took your eyes off the endless fireroad that made up the route. On the plus side the both is nice as long as you can stand the snoring ๐Ÿ™‚

58km and we did it in @4hrs on bike loaded with [s]booze[/s] both kit.

Some nice shots there, but I wish you'd kept the EXIF.

kennyp...Glentrool on anice day would be a great ride if you are into the scenery and views as sspunk says.
Only been once and the weather was dour, overcast and showery. But will do it again. We started at Heartbreak Hill car park rather than go all the way round to Glentrool. Makes the cafe a half way stop for bacon and haggis rolls.
