Its ok, but i prefer Glenshee. 8)

Its like most tracks with a lift, after a while you get bored with it. 8)

Your not wrong, bruneep

Hi Kateski

We as your nearest mountain bike club would be glad to meet up with you to discuss our thoughts for the track as it is.

Poppa, Can I just point out, it should be 'I did Glenshee on Saturday', not done. Or preferably 'rode'.

If I had only stuck in at school and got my grammar right I would be a happier man, NOT.

I would be making a lot less money and lucky to be stacking shelves in ASDA ( No offence to ASDA shelf stackers) 🙄

You could ride up the track past the walkers, then come down again, watch out for the Bikes that spent the £15. 😆

I was wrong in saying that GT did not get it right the first time, 😳 but it was ok for what it was, but each time I have been down to GT it has improved with each visit, just don’t write of Glenshee just because of one poor quality video. 🙄

On the neeps vid, It does look "utterly shite" , but ride shite and it will be shite.
And do you think Glentress got it right when they first started? I think not.
As mentioned the track needs a tweak to make it a great track.
I know the management team will welcome feed back, but there hands are tied a bit by the people from the cairngorm National Park.

I found Glenshee not as boring as the Lecht, mainly due to the chairlift not stopping and starting all the time, and you need to keep and eye on the game to ride at the max, or your away. 😯

Yes bruneep I also saw the neeps vid, and I also thought it looked pretty boring, but we had to try it, it also depends on who has got the camera strapped to their lid. 8)

I agree, its crap, But i had better go back and have another go, Just to make sure it stays crap, 🙄

Golspie, oh yes! 8)

Get up to Ballater and stay at http://www.habitat-at-ballater.com/?Home, then get in touch with http://www.cyclehighlands.com/ or http://www.9zerofreewheelers.co.uk/ and ride some of the best natural trails in Scotland. 8)

I am from Ballater, What trails were you thinking of doing?

Rocky Mountain Vertex 70, Say no more. 8)

I had the same problem two years after i got my Xen so i bought a new cradle and pad from Chain reactin and good as new 8)

I make whisky. 8)

"lots of scenery where we can go biking, walking, see wildlife etc" It has to be Ballater / Braemar, Royal Deeside. 8)

I to have owned Vespas over the years, I sold my last one to make room for my mountain bike, my first vespa was 100cc Vespa douglas, no key to start it just the kick start, then a Px125 then the classic T5 and the last scoot was the PX200, I would have them all still if I had the room. 8)

I have just ordered the Cannon EOS 450D in a package from Jessop’s, I can’t wait for it to arrive, it comes with an extra lens two lens protectors a case and a 4 gig SD card. 0% interest over 5 months. 8)

I got headaches all the time up until I stopped using all the singing and dancing lets go drinks, I started using Robinsons diluting juice and I have never had a headache again, my mate was suffering the same and he also tried Robinsons and his headaches stopped. 8)

My LBS has Mondraker bikes in, they are well smart, you can demo the dune, check out the web site http://www.cyclehighlands.com/demo.htm 8)

Thebikechain, you mentioned distillery to distillery? I have done from Royal Lochnagar to Glenlivet then on to Spayside to Knockando, I work at Royal Lochnagar so give me a shout if you are coming by and if we can manage, some of the bike club might be able to join the ride on the trail near us, that goes for you to Fat-boy-fat, Happy new year to you all http://www.9zerofreewheelers.co.uN

Forget them all, go Rocky Mountain Vertex 70. Light and strong and climbs like a Mountain Goat.

My son was being bullied on the school bus (he was small for his age) one day he waited until he got of the bus and laid the bully out with one punch, he just went up to him and smack! The next day when the bus pulled up I was waiting in the car and watching, my son came of the bus and the bullies big brother was waiting to see to my son, and my son laid him out, needless to say no one bullied my son again. But it could have gone the other way and went Pete Tong. My suggestion is to take your son along to your local Judo club, it builds confidence and control when it comes to confrontation, that’s what I done and my son became Scottish Champion and British bronze medallist. This was when my son was 12 or 13 he is now 23 and planning to join the Police.

Aberdeen is a great area for biking, get out to Ballater (45 minutes drive) there are some great natural trails, check out http://www.9zerofreewheelers.co.uk or http://www.ecurieneep.co.uk

Aye, ken wit ye meen ! ken 😆

I use a Rab VR and its the best bit of biking kit i have.

On Sunday it was -6 (highlands) and with a Altura wicken t shirt, the Rab VR then the Altura night vision to keep the damp out i was warm the whole days biking. 😀

I agree with stuartie-c, but would recommend this link from the neeps website, its a brilliant run for XC or DH, we done this about six weeks back took us about four hours, as the down hillers had to push most of the ups, but loved the down over Capel Mounth, also the down from just East of Broad Cairn back to the Car park, we done 21 miles but it was great views, great trails for both XC and DH, Gay or other wise, there is about 3 quarters a mile of carrying/pushing up from Bachnagairn to the drop East of Broad Cairn, It would be a well nice run on one of those frosty winter days where the sun comes out but its still chilly. http://www.ecurieneep.co.uk/images/LochMuick/loch-muick_map.jpg Our web site is http://www.9zerofreewheelers.co.uk. 8)

I will let all the club know to keep an eye out for the bikes.

As some riders might just be under the weather the whisky run will be leaving at 10:00 on January the 1st, we are planning a run round the Coils O Muick and having a dram at the top, then weather permitting back to the village via the Green mile. There will be nowhere for hot chocolate, unless we can get Butcher Baz to fill his flasks he uses for BBQ'S.

Notlocal, Sorry mate, I cant see me being at GT this side of Xmas, its panto season, Oh yes it is! 😉 but, I see your free on the 27th December which is a Sunday run where do ye fancy going? 😯

I am glad you all had better weather on the Sunday, and I am also glad you managed to join us on our run, you are all welcome to join our runs any time, and maybe notlocal (LJ) will be able to join us as well, it was real nice to meet you, thanks for the company the banter was good. 8)
