Ok. Each in turn.
You need to buy a road bike.
I’d tend to agree, awesome road biking, but some good MTBing too.
I’d be excited about moving out of ayr, not moving there lol
You live in Glasgow, which is one of the few places in Scotland to actually have worse places for MTBing than Ayrshire.
It’s pretty rough, but i’m not talking about the mountainbiking.
Like any provincial town, Ayr has it’s rough bits, but some lovely areas too.
out the back of Girvan isn’t so bad.
It’s not so good either, and it’s 40 minutes drive, so much better within less of a drive
Farlie moor, Arran and girven aren’t really ‘out the door’ though.
Agreed, but I can ride to Fairlie from Ayr, takes about 90 minutes, or take the train to Dalry and ride up n over the moors, great pub at the end of some fantastic trails, and train home. 25 minutes away in the car. Arran is pretty good mtb wise, awesome for road biking too, and is a great day out with no driving involved.
Search for craufardland just outside Kilmarnock it’s 25 mins outside Ayr it’s ok auchincruive just outside Ayr also has trails . About an hour and 10 mins to drumlanrig it’s fantastic. Cathrin braes is about 40 mins from Ayr ( commonwealth games trail) we go out regularly so if you like sprockets cycles on face book it will let you know where we are going and when also Ayrshire mountain bike group on Facebook .
I wouldn’t wish either craufurdland or Cathkin on my worst enemies!. 😀
