That was TOO Close! | Meet my Trail Dog | First Ride of RELISH: The NEW MTB Trail at Aboyne
After a LONG hiatus from bikes and this channel, I'm back, and in greater numbers...
Meet my lovely cocker spaniel as we venture out on our first ride together (with some support from my Wife!) Aboyne is home to some of lesser-known MTB trails in Aberdeenshire but a brand new trail called Relish has become one of the most popular, beginner friendly trails in the area, so I thought it would be a great place to start!

Dunkeld Enduro MTB | The Hermitage | Cairn to Cottage / Crash Test / Downhill - 2021
Просмотров 6873 года назад
Back in June, Mike and I met up in Perthshire for a weekend packed full of riding. On day 3, we headed back to the south west of Dunkeld to the Hermitage. This is the home of the classic Dunkeld Downhill track with tons of line choice and gradient. I wish we'd had longer to explore here but I had to arrange a tow for my van back to Aberdeen so it was just a short morning of riding. Please consi...
Dunkeld Enduro MTB | Atholl Hill | Yer Maw / Yer Maw's Erse / Sacrifice - 2021
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.3 года назад
Back in June, Mike and I met up in Perthshire for a weekend packed full of riding. After lunch on day 2, we headed North of Dunkeld to Atholl Hill, where the trail names get a bit rude! This was much more in keeping with the sort of riding I do around Aberdeenshire. Dense woodland, natural cut trails and roots for days. As a result, I was really happy with how I rode here that afternoon. And to...
Dunkeld Enduro MTB | Birnam Hill | Rake & Ruin / Pink Floyd / Electric Beaver - 2021

Back in June, Mike and I met up in Perthshire for a weekend packed full of riding. Day 2 started at Birnam Hill, south of Dunkeld. This venue is instantly recognisable for the slate quarries, open vistas and undulating terrain. Birnam hill has hosted almost every enduro race in this area since Enduro was a thing!

The BEST Enduro Trail You've Never Heard Of? | Scolty MTB | Boneyard, Squamish AB, Corona Time
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.3 года назад
Scolty, near Banchory, is home to one of the densest trail networks in Aberdeenshire. By linking up 3 trails, you can put together a complete run down Gouch Hill. Slabs, berms & wooden bridges along the way could fool you into thinking you were in Canada... In any case, it is the best trail I've ever ridden. This was a short day out on the bike but I cannot begin to describe how much I loved ri...

Pitfichie SDA Track | Redemption! | Where did it all go WRONG?!
Просмотров 6343 года назад
In October 2020 I entered a local Enduro Race at Pitfichie, organised by DoonThaBrae events, but it didn't go well and I DNF'd. I knew I'd ridden poorly, but I wanted to come back and try again. I had a spare morning and the sun was out, so I recently found myself back at the top of Pitfichie Downhill Trails, ready for round 2! Why not go racing in 2021? www.doonthabraeevents.com/ The Gear: YT ...

'Member Sunshine?! Back in September at the start of a biking trip to the Scottish Borders, I had the pleasure of a solo ride around the Glentress Red Route.

No talking in the first 10 minutes, just the sound of dirt, tyres and the wind! This was also the first ride out ...

A BAD day on the YT Capra | Pitfichie Enduro 2020
Просмотров 4434 года назад
I wasn't sure about posting this video. I think it's pretty clear that the spirit of Enduro did not shine through for me this day. After some horrible weather overnight, a delayed start and some last minute course changes, I lined up for the only local race in 2020... and then didn't get much further than that! Stage 1 was a mess, and I suffered a complete loss of confidence. Then stage 2 went ...

    Countless times i've nearly been run over by MTBr's while hiking. Like you mentioned that area wouldnt be seen till to late which is what probably happened when a biker ran into a hiker there. Who in turn placed rocks on path. I hope the rocks are returned to the trail. MRBr's and cyclists are the #1 prentious assholez of all outdoor activites.

    Ridden this trail loads of times,pitty some riders are straightening out some of the corners all in the name of personal best?? There's been a lot of work done to the trail, some of it good and some not so. Take the fire road to the top and if you don't like peddling You've got at least and hour continuous up hill all the way. But man is it worth it First run finding your way, second run let it rip. And if you've still got some energy head over to Mastermind at the other side of Ballater.

Keep up the training with the pup and the keeping its distance from the bike will improve , just remember to stop from time to time and carry water and a fold up bowl or get them to drink from your hand and use your camelbak.
