@ready I agree it's absolutely brilliant at spots like you mentioned - rogate in your case - where all ages and abilities are there for the same thing. I.e. to learn, progress, and scare the shit out of ourselves!
It's *such* a good leveller and the vibe is ace.
We've a few spots locally that are much the same in terms of vibe
Saturday had a "can I still ride a bike" spin at Glentress, and it turned out I could so went out on the gravel bikes up Glen Tilt yesterday.

Two rides in one weekend!
Sunday was the inaugural Poacher Enduro at Belvoir Castle. Short stages and a mash up format. Good fun. Lack of recent riding told though, and I was cooked well before the cut-off time. Due to still not having full confidence in my grip strength I was B Line king! Even to the point of cutting my own C and D lines at times...
First week of retirement for us. Loads of gym classes, walks, runs and even a Northern Soul All dayer. However the Peak was calling and with the sun out and clear sky's it was on with the shorts and short sleve top for the first time this year to hit some of our favourite trails. Dry, fast and so much fun
