Drumlanrig is fab and so quiet. Lovely lovely.
Hi Diane. Yes, I wanted to put out this PSA as it seemed that chap was working so hard but for maybe just a handful of riders. I think there could have been one or two riders there some way ahead of me. I didn’t see anyone on the trails, but there were some fresh tracks.
A real breath of fresh air compared to GlenTress and the like.
Thing is, I can really understand the popularity of Glentress, which is a place that has done wonders for introducing people to mountain biking. But I was trying to mention Drumlanrig’s downhills, which for me as an XC rider are really exhilarating, especially as there are some really slidey, wheel going sideways moments, and times where I struggled to stay on on some pretty steep sections. It’s not about the big air, but loose and rooty at this time of year can be just as exciting, but in its own individual style. Yeah, more people should try Drumlanrig and also Ae and Dalbeattie too which are not well visited really.
