No one interested in the current world and olympic champion? Let alone Silver olympic Time Trial medalist, winner of the Montreal World cup, winner of the Tour Feminin. Or Lizzie A, upandcoming star of track and road…
nope. most women’s sport just isn’t as good quality as the men.

No one interested in arguably Britain’s most sucessful ever cyclist?
was beryl burton riding then? 😉

because no-one is interested in women’s sport.

HTH.

um, do you think anyone will say they’re not much good* after dropping that amount of cash on one? 😉

* although i’m sure they’re very nice.

Just about any restaurant in Edinburgh will have haggis.
really? do you think that’s all we eat up here? deep fried mars bar for pudding too…

Still got an MoT? Scrappage trade-in coming up?
er, no.

Looking for red route Glentress style.
You’re looking in the wrong place then.

There’s a few bits and bobs including the SXC course (which i’ve not ridden in it’s current incarnation), but Aberfoyle is mainly lots and lots of forest road.

i’ll check if it’s a single rider and would stop if there was any indication of real trouble. but c’mon? there was four of you and collectively you couldn’t get a tyre off?

MTFU 😉

Whats the witches trail like?

not as good as it used to be according to some photos i saw on t’internet last week…

this was once the wall.

I’ve asked both the Rangers and Historic Scotland to provide me with (a link to) the relevant legislation and so far they’ve both declined.

(3) The emailed reply was “current Holyrood Park Regulations are displayed on notice boards in the park “

LOL! Good on them.

so the biggest single investment in a trail centre in the UK going tits up isn’t of interest?

all must be well then…

BBC thought it was worth reporting today too:

ah, hiding this one away on the chat forum eh?

the windfarm cash ain’t going to to pay for the chairlift either.

Car park might be full for truck/bus uplift, but you’d need a much bigger car park and for it to be stuffed to the gills every weekend (if not everyday) to make a chairlift feasible.

Still no comment from Smee I notice? LOL!

if you can’t answer these then you’re just one of the dreamers.
sweet dreams…

although to be honest. garry_lager hit the nail on the head a few hours ago.

innerz vertical iz saracing.

(but i still like it)

sorry for that, a reaction to the chairlift nonsense i’ve read over the years.

as you seem to know who is paying the bills, can you enlighten us on:

* sources of funding (and i don’t mean “the lottery”) for the chairlift (install and run)
* sources of funding (and i don’t mean “the lottery”) for the trail network (build and maintain) you’d need going need to support the rider numbers you’ll need to come close to paying the bills
* how to going to encourage non-riders to use chair to subsidise the mtbers – cafe at the top? add that into the chairlift number above.

if you can’t answer these then you’re just one of the dreamers.

you don’t get it. step aside.

are people wtill dreaming of a chairlift at “Inners”? LOL!

The Party is Over – see item 10 here

For FES, Alan [Stevenson] highlighted the fact that a consultation exercise was underway for the first draft of the National Mountain Bike Strategy for Scotland* – to date there had been no reaction to our stance that no financial support would be forthcoming for new technical or specialist mountain bike facilities on the national forest estate.

if FES/FCS isn’t going to invest any more then it’s dead in the water. huge capital costs, huge running costs, f*ck all chance of making money. go ask glencoe mountain and nevis range how much they make out of mtb…

* still not published btw.
