Ciaran path – a grand day out in the hills. You don’t have to be a trials legend or willy waver to enjoy it. The unpredicatability and lack of uniform path makes for a more challenging and in my opinion more enjoyable ride. If I want smooth flowy and always rideable, I can go to any trail centre for that. I recall Andy McKenna recounting the time he did it with his missus – cue another rider walking his bike down bemoaning it’s lack of rideability quickly followed by his missus coming off the trail with a big grin on her face……..one trail doesn’t suit all, I guess.
The Captain is right. There are some terrific other descents to be had too. I’m not sure what the best descent is – so many to choose from and so many I’ve still to ride. 😀
Glas Alt Shiel and a variant on Carn Ban Mor and Cairngorm are on the cards for the Spring.
Still not done Mount Keen – and to think I call myself a mountain biker….the shame! 😀
