Cairngorms MTB | Heartbreak Ridge | Scotland's best

This ride is a well known ride out of Ballater that used to be known as the Green Mile because it takes in some gloriously vivid green woodland on the descent back down to the River Dee.
From the road you turn off onto some non descript fireroad climbing steadily, and dare I say it, steeply up. I was riding a cheat bike and it was still a hard climb.
The descent is nothing special in my opinion. It's decent enough and there's plenty of features which could hospitalise you but it's ok, there's nothing major to tackle you just need your wits about you.I'm sure if you were a local and had ridden this trail a few times you could absolutely smash it down...
