2011, part 3, InnerleithenDay three, Saturday 4:th of June, one could really feel the previous days in the legs, luckily<br />the plan for the day is to take the route in Innerleithen, no 10km ride to get to the trail! :)<br /><br />The weather had now changed and there was a grey overlay in the sky and the temperature had dropped a bit, perhaps a good thing since there were some major climbing on the agenda.<br /><br />There was a "local" bike race going on, got a flyer but forgot what it said, think it was a charity race around the area, rider passed by for at least an hour.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_01.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_01_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Back at Alpine Bikes to pick up bikes from service, the great discount had to be taken advantage of! :)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_02.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_02_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />More familiar views fron the start of the climb in Innerleithen.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_03.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_03_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The first climb before getting here is a real challenge with tired legs!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_04.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_04_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Waiting for the photographer to get set up further ahead. =)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_05.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_05_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Another familiar spot! First time for others. I rode down the steep section and got my first and only flat tire, got a snake bite on my rear tire...<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_06.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_06_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />More magnificent views during the climb.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_07.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_07_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />A bit blurry shots in the woods.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_08.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_08_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Magical forests!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_09.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_09_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The track just kept going upwards, just like I remembered it. :)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_10.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_10_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Made a short stop to take a shot of the bike in a otherwise monochromatic surroundings.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_11.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_11_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Finally a snack stop! We got some directions for InterStellar from Andy but we were a bit uncertain where it started and had some discussions about where it might hide. It's supposed to be a pretty gnarly trail and it sounded worth looking for! :)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_12.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_12_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Well, there was a plan to climb up again after lunch so we kept going on for now.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_13.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_13_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />More fine views when we started to get close to the top, the wether was clear enough to see for miles.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_14.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_14_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Quite gentle climb from here on.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_15.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_15_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Final "corner" before the summit of Minch Moor!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_16.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_16_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The concrete pillar was still here and the pile of stones. =)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_17.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_17_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Was a bit windy here so we didn't stick sournd for long, we also knew what fun(Plora Craig) <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>was ahead! :)<br />Took the time to immortalize the moment with my Reign at the top!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_18.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_18_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />No shots from "Plora Craig" since it was way to much fun so here are some from the almost as good "Oh Deer"<strong></strong> <strong></strong><br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_19.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_19_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Just flowing trails with sharp twists and turns where one has to look out so not to end up in the vegetation! :)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_20.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_20_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />A short breather before the final part of the route.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_21.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_21_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />View from the last decent, "Cadon Bank", just gets better the more times one rides it! Starts with three drops that just gets bigger as you pass them, then into a roller coaster style "humps" and into to the woods where the fun just keeps on going! At the bottom of some of the "valleys" one can feel how the bike compresses under the load and the fly over the tops! Pretty insane speed at times, should one crash I wish I had full pressure suit and full face helmet but I was having too much fun to worry about that. =)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_22.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_22_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The bridge we have passed so many times.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_23.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_23_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Street scene from Innerleithen. The final part is really a blast!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_24.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_24_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Here we had lunch and while waiting to get on with the afternoon ride some of us found a pump track on the backyard of the church.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_26.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_26_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Took a while to get used to and I suppose the big bikes we had was not so optimal, but really fun. Later we found out that the track didn't belong to the "public" but was a private track belonging to one of the houses next to the church! Oops... I hope we didn't upset anyone, dumme Schwede!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_25.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_25_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Niklas trying to look unaffected during the second climb of the day. ;)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_27.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_27_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />New and old cone.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_28.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_28_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Making the best of the climb.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_29.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_29_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Had to use the flash in the woods, starting to get dark in there.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_30.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_30_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Jonas at the end of Taniel Hill just before getting out on the gravel quarry, where I got a flat in the morning.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_31.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_31_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Anders entering the trail after the road climb.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_32.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_32_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />So tired that the camera just caught blur. :)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_33.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_33_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Still trying to take shots without flash, my poor Casio didn't manage to get fast enough shutter speeds.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_34.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_34_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />After we went down Interstellar we bumped into some riders from Edinburgh, one of them managed to breake the chain so Per lend a chain tool to them as we kept climbing. They were in much better shape than we were! :)<br /><br />Inter Stellar was crazy steep at some point, really nice, too bad we dinät have the strenght to ride it a second time, apparently I and Niklas managed to take the easier trail to the left while some took to the right and that was supposedly pretty gnarly, following a ravine and under some fallen trees and stuff. Must go back some time and try that too!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_35.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_35_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Over the summit the second time. More riders this time!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_36.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_36_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Then it was basically a copy of the last time but some of us got a private guiding to some other more down hill kind of trails, trying to remember what it was called nut my mind is blank, have to ask Per if he remembers. Really steep and technical, the Edinburgh bunch said they had never seen the track this dry before and it felt like one had full control all the was despite the trail characteristics.<br /><br />Wish I had some GPS-plot of all the new tracks we rode so I could see where we were.<br />We ended up at the last part of Cadon Bank, that much I know. =)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_37.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_37_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I was completely exhausted by the time I got back,, just a quick shower and out for dinner, Fiko's again, this time I think everyone ordered starters and we got a few bottles of wine. :)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_38.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_38_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I took the Mega burger, not as much food as the Calsone but still plenty enough!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_39.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd3_39_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Another great day, so great to explore some "off the track" trails, starting to feel like a local. ;)<br />Fun to meet some Scottish riders, some of them was going to Åre later this year, hope they enjoy it! <br /><br />We also made a visit to the local "pub" next to our house, it was by invitation only but nobody seemed to care, it got a bit quiet when we got in to the bar area but I think we blended in pretty well after a few beers and some whisky. ;)<br /><br />Tomorrow, Sunday it's a early morning and a trip to Kirroughtree.<br /><br />GPS-plot. Interstellar got registered at least. 5h. and 30min.

Sweet!<br /><br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_01.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_01_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Some maintenance before hitting the trails, the plan was to get to Glentress yet again but this time take the Black trail all the way, last year some parts were closed off...<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_02.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_02_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Before we knew we were on our way, apparently we had been observed the day before and appropriate signs were now placed on our route! ;)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_03.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_03_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Every home should have a tower with merlons!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_04.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_04_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Another pretty old house!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_05.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_05_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Caught a peacock!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_06.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_06_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Another stunning day!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_07.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_07_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />So what's up with the long face?<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_08.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_08_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Past the last bridge, one again.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_09.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_09_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />View of River Tweed from the "short cut".<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_10.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_10_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Second breakfast, as always! :)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_11.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_11_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Some one had invested some serious money on a rather bomb proof bike!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_12.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_12_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />After second breakfast it was time to climb yet another time!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_13.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_13_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Through dense forests.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_14.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_14_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />A well deserved brake in the heat, this time we sayed in the shadow!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_15.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_15_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_16.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_16_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Going down single track in the forest, fantastic trail!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_17.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_17_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_18.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_18_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />A short paus and chat before last part down to the forest road.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_19.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_19_800.jpg" /></a><br />Some transport to next view point.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_20.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_20_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The view was worth the climb so far. =)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_21.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_21_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Anders & Niklas resting their legs.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_22.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_22_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Jonas, Malin and Per opted for a spot in the sun.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_23.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_23_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I climbed some rocks to show off! :)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_24.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_24_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The climb to the top continued on the winding trails.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_25.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_25_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Cleared the forest and got out on the heather covered hill side.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_26.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_26_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />There was a tired welcome committee at the resting place.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_27.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_27_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Ah! Still cold!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_28.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_28_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Some of us took cover in the small wind shelter, but this time from the sun, should have learnt from last visit to bring sun block! :)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_29.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_29_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Pale Scandinavians in the sun.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_30.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_30_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Close encounter with local wildlife.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_31.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_31_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Happy smiles before hitting "Britney Spears, hit me baby (one more time)!"<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_32.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_32_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />After that joy it was a cruel climb up to the Antenna. Could still feel yesterdays ride in my legs...<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_33.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_33_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />New territory for some of us, this part of the route was closed last year. Think it's called Boundary trail.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_34.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_34_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The start.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_35.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_35_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Almost too much fun to stop for shooting many photos but I made a few stops to take some.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_36.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_36_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Now we were approaching what became the highlight of the day!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_37.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_37_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Deliverance! Perhaps I screamed like a pig now and them but I promise it was from pure joy and adrenaline! The amazing single track just kept going forever!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_38.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_38_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />After this shot my camera, Casio EX-FH100 started to act strangely and shut down by it self for no reason, perhaps heat exhaustion?!<br /><br />Per went ahead to find a good photo spot. After the insane Deliverance it's time to pay for the ride by climbing "Redemption", a well chosen name! It almost depleted the last strength one had left.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_39.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_39_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Hardly can remember what route we took back to the hub after that but the last part down was great as always, this time picking other routes where possible.<br /><br />Since my camera stopped working I took no more shots until we got back at the house after dinner and now the camera worked of again, test shot with people catching up and reviewing photos from the day.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_40.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd2_40_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Great to finally be able to make the whole Black route all the way, totally worth it! =)<br /><br />We tracked almost 50km and 5h that day!<br /><iframe src="http://www.endomondo.com/embed/workouts?w=oIGl2mKF59E&width=800&height=600" width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10803654943935342892noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2491920712271783985.post-22106214806812516812011-06-15T15:55:00.006+02:002011-06-16T00:00:30.248+02:00Scotland 2011, part 1, GlentressFinally after months of waiting and some agony (some mishaps with flight tickets) it was time once again to ride the great trails of Glentress.<br /><br />The trip was made a few weeks ago we flew in on Wednesday the first of June and back home on Monday the sixth. This first part is from Thursday.<br /><br />As last time we had our home base in Innerleithen, but this time at a different location, a ground level apartment by Go-Where.co.uk, including pick-up and drop-off at the airport in Edinburgh, perfect arrangement! =)<br /><br />We were a bit worried about the weather, the forecast had been showing rain for the most of the time and there had been some bad weather before our arrival but the morning after we got there we woke up to this:<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_01.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_01_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />A few clouds but the sun was shining, perfect!<br /><br />After a proper breakfast we were ready to get out to the trails, but first we had to get a bike for Anders who had arranged a rental bike from Alpine Bikes, apparently we got a 50% rebate for renting at Go-where and 30% on gear prices in the shop! =)<br /><br />Ready to go!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_02.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_02_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Seems like some are cheating with 4-leg drive!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_03.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_03_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />On our way to Glentress.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_04.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_04_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Familiar view.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_05.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_05_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Passing river Tweed for the first time of the year. Beautiful views.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_06.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_06_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_07.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_07_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Starting to get to the country side.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_08.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_08_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Anders seemed happy with the new bike.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_09.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_09_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />It's about 10km ride to the Trails but the ride there is quite ok.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_10.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_10_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The dust cloud reveals the head wind...<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_11.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_11_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Turned out there was a short cut so that we could skip riding on the main road! Less climbing too, felt like it anyway, only drawback was we had to pass behind the golf course but we had the helmets on! ;)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_12.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_12_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Lovely short cut, but thankfully one can't smell the sheep poo from the picture.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_13.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_13_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Time for second breakfast! :)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_14.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_14_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Time to hit the trails! The new trail center (some of it visible in the shot) wasn't open yet thought it should have opened a while ago. Well, there will hopefully be more visits.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_15.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_15_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The climb was still there had almost forget them. :)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_16.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_16_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Thankfully there were distractions on the way up!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_17.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_17_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Jonas admiring the views.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_18.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_18_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Not sure what Malin was looking at. =)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_19.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_19_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Some short cuts here and there along the trail.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_20.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_20_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />At the first play ground, some had cheated and took their cars up here.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_21.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_21_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />We kept on going upwards!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_22.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_22_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Forgot the name of the first trail we took but we ended back at the Buzzard Nest and at the start of the newest addition, `Berm Baby Berm´!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_23.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_23_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Niklas didn't look too unhappy! :)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_24.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_24_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Cought Jonas catching some air!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_25.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_25_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The surface was amazing almost like a concrete track! Pure fun and hard to keep fast speed!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_26.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_26_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Then it was time for lunch, I went with the soup of the day, but the paninis looked tempting.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_27.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_27_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Then we met some fellow swedes, they had arrived from Göteborg at the same day as us, they got inspired from our ride reports last year and they were not disappointed! Think they had made the Black trail before lunch! =)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_28.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_28_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Back at the Buzzard Nest again, Per and Niklas spotted a trail builder they got to know on their first trip, Andy (seemed like everyone was named Andy!)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_29.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_29_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />More climbing, this time to the top, hard work but with views like this on the way up it's much easier!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_30.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_30_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Almost at the top, that's worth celebrating, the first IRN BRU on the trip!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_31.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_31_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Niklas spotted that we had left the bikes with even space between, the measuring stick was brought forth.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_32.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_32_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />It's was withing a inch! :)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_33.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_33_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Per relaxing.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_34.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_34_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Picknic table was occupied by tired swedes. ;)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_35.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_35_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Yes! At the top! Let the fun begin! Spooky Wood is pure joy for several kilometers!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_36.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_36_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />(Nice video found here: <a href="http://youtu.be/eb4B6OydWmg">http://youtu.be/eb4B6OydWmg</a>)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_37.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_37_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Took the black trail down to the Trail center but had to stop and take a shot of the view.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_38.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_38_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Every one was quite pleased with the day so far and we were all starting to feel we had been out all day riding bikes. Not sure who came up with the idea first but we decided to take a short ride to the Glentress Hotel and have a cold beer!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_39.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_39_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Do I need to tell you how heavenly good it tasted?!<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_40.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_40_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />We were not exhausted at all! ;)<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_41.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_41_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Just a 10km ride back "home"...<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_42.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_42_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Unprocessed burgers in evening light.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_43.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_43_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Almost back home.<br /><a href="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_44.jpg"><img src="http://manni.se/mtb/scot2011/sd1_44_800.jpg" /></a><br /><br />After a quick shower time for dinner!

About 6-7 hours per day...<br><br>But after the legs realized that resistance was futile we were on our way on the black trail. Quite different environment compared to innerleithen and Glentress, less straining climbs, thankfully, and winding trails that seemed to go on forever!<br><br>At the furthest point we "entered" Mac Moab" a slick rock playground, hence the name. Too bad almost all strength was gone but it was good fun anyway, I and one more of us rode down the near vertical wall down to the road, quite a adrenaline rush! :)<br><br>Then it just got better, a amazing end of the day, the trails at the end was simply pure fun, must be even better with fresh legs!<br><br><br>-Created on Desire<br><br>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10803654943935342892noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2491920712271783985.post-37260127393885954092011-06-05T10:13:00.000+02:002011-06-05T10:14:22.208+02:00Packning the bikes...<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibD3WVcXUFbsx_A33V_DIviD4s0yMDKhTfO3SMpXvbvQvJeg0-8V80Bnd8Z4SkVmt9oAP0IRZjeJgoOR9kQzpjkuaFPrWnng5MYzY45bqJWeP6MrcpXTojKkw63XmZxmwA6OqJQnvxZHwB/s1600/%253D%253Futf-8%253FB%253FSU1BRzE4MjQuanBn%253F%253D-762209"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibD3WVcXUFbsx_A33V_DIviD4s0yMDKhTfO3SMpXvbvQvJeg0-8V80Bnd8Z4SkVmt9oAP0IRZjeJgoOR9kQzpjkuaFPrWnng5MYzY45bqJWeP6MrcpXTojKkw63XmZxmwA6OqJQnvxZHwB/s320/%253D%253Futf-8%253FB%253FSU1BRzE4MjQuanBn%253F%253D-762209" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614646091687044658" /></a></p>Getting ready to go to Kirroughtree!<br><br>-Created on Desire<br><br>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10803654943935342892noreply@blogger.com0
