Fair bit of frost heave heading out towards Dumgoyne. The recent thaw has really mangled some of the trails. The Conic Hill descent will be a bit gloopy too with the trail up the back of it more a push than a carry with all the rain run off creating deep channels. The recent ice has all gone.
The Pottery in Drymen is ace for a cake stop. The Roawardennan Hotel isnae bad either as is the chipper in Crianlarich.
Good luck fella. It’s a fair old undertaking but sounds like you’re doing it as one day out and one day back with the option of several hours of sleep in between or short snooze breaks. No rest stops would be pretty full on and in winter, a wee off when you are sleep deprived can end up being somewhat consequential if you are unlucky.
I wouldn’t be so worried about snow as incessant rain and wind. It can be the bane of the Scottish Mountain Biker.
Take pics and post them after.
You probably do this already but for proper epics I always take food that I crave. Even if it’s something like a cold bacon and mushroom roll with brown sauce, the mental boost it gives can be a real help.
Cheers

PS Bullands Cafe in Milngavie is very mountain bike friendly and a grand place to finish with tea and scones. Do you see a theme here?
