Professionally and/or non professionally, which country do you think has the better mountain bikers: Scotland or Wales?

I forgot it was half term 🙄

Wherever richmtbguru lives.

It’s pretty much reprise of themoq’s last big hit http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/mountain-biking-scotland-vs-wales ?

Is he the new Elbry?

Surrey

I needed info on riders too, and accidentally wrote the wrong stuff on the last one :/ but yes, it basically is 🙂

the scots do it with haggis’ (haggi?) and the welsh with leeks, but which one is harder?

Wherever the English are holidaying.

of course 😉

Competitively Scotland yields more top riders in XC at least I’d say. There are some bloody good Welsh riders though.

I think the important thing is WGAS?

hrmm…

I’m pretty sure Scotland’s produced more top riders. But that might just be because the invention of the safety bicycle hasn’t reached some parts of wales yet (or equally likely to be because we cycle everywhere, being too tight to pay for petrol)

where are these places and more importantly who’s dad is harder?

Well anecdotally:

The mince factor at CYB seemed to be higher than at Glentress when I was there in the summer.

Mind you that might have been more to do with CYB’s comparative proximity to southern England

Is there a point to the question?

I’m sure there is to somebody, nut just them – I thought it was one of those in jokes

I’m only really in competition with myself, and I’m rubbish so I think that means I’m winning. Or losing.

Either way, I’m better at mountain biking than I am.
