Exploring Aviemore - mtb - scotland

/ strava
When I was on holiday I checked out the Burnside trails in Aviemore. They both excited me and scared me at the same time. Just scratched the surface of what is there though.

This is a great representative of what it's like to ride at a new place if you haven't watched any videos or anything on the trails before.

The colors in this video are incredible. Beautiful place. Gotta say, you Brits are a tough bunch. Always with the iciest muddiest conditions. Rock on.

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Respect for leaving out the MAD technical stuff, very wise when alone, i would do the same, great vid :))

[@carlpilbeam5216]

Nice one mate nice to see you being sensible on the tricky stuff sometimes best to leave for another day lol 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@johnjd831]

Great video, you ride the trails that appeal to me the most. Tight, twisty loamy, goodness 🤙 keep it up, I'm loving it 👌

[@ethannichols504]

If you have only just bought padded undershorts then you’ve seriously been missing out. Props to you for being able to ride without them

[@MovingTargetOne]

Im still in the stupid phase of not having any, def time to remedy that

[@ethannichols504]

MovingTargetOne You definitely need to get some. They’ll save your arse from a lot of pain

[@frederickmerle6412]

Exactly the kind of trails I love in Northern Scotland really similar to Aberdeenshire, tight, twisty, muddy and pine needles everywhere!

[@zedeye4597]

Surprised by the conditions, Richard's Down was a complete bog back in October! Nice to see the trails holding up well to the winter!

[@TheJcoch]

Heading to Aviemore this weekend, so great to watch this video to see what it’s like. Like you I will be by myself so I will be taking it easy. 👌

[@McTrailRider]

You’re going to love this place mate👍

[@ElevationStation1988]

Wow really great terrain! Looks fun nice riding!

[@dukekaboom5717]

Welcome to the Highlands. Great skills and choice not to do the "hard " stuff when your alone . Good vid, I'll need to try the 2nd route you took one day soon as it's only 45 minutes from where I live. Looking forward to seeing more in 2018. Cheers

You have to give this place another visit when a bit drier. I rode there yesterday for the first time and it has some of the best trails I’ve ridden all year - Side Pipe, H.R.T and Christ Almighty were my favourites , Intellectual Property is a bit too much of a beast lol. Definitely worth a second visit, keep up the great content 👍🏿.

[@lamborghinisareveryfast8290]

McTrail Rider if the rains hold off between now and then, the trail conditions should be awesome for you , enjoy 👍🏿

[@daveandmerlin]

Looks a fantastic place ....another beauty up there in Scotland . No padded pants up until now ? It will feel like luxury now ha .

[@nickhulmes398]

Another good one mate ......cheers

[@carlpilbeam5216]

Lol you not need them mate to old to be hero but we do have ago lol looking forward to meeting you 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@MovingTargetOne]

Nice one. I have to check this place out as its relatively near compared to most places I like to ride, only 2 and a half hour drive away :)

[@isaacclark858]

Loving the soundtrack 😉

[@isaacclark858]

McTrail Rider aye 😂 trails look good to, I'll have to have a look next time I'm up.

[@nickhulmes398]

2.44 !!!!! What a mint line .......for dry weather .........

[@skinzilla7]

good effort mate! burnside is mental when its dry, let alone snowy, i miss home, currently in Revelstoke, Canada

[@skinzilla7]

@@McTrailRider oh aye mate.... IT.IS.NUTS!!!!

[@RoamingWanders]

Really enjoying your videos. Would you ever compete in an Scottish Enduro Series race or local enduro race? I would love to see that on your channel this year.

[@ft6666]

Cannot believe you are new to padded shorts!

[@thechaosengine3020]

Well done on being cautious mate. Too many trips to hospital follow the thought 'Fuckit. It'll be fine!' and an injury in this weather would be pretty serious pretty quickly if you've been sweating.

[@MrTechnopaz]

Jebus.. that top end is nasty.. this trail needs sunshine.. re'visit in Summer & give it some!

[@McTrailRider]

Been back a few times in better conditions now, and it’s excellent 👌

[@MTBScotland]

Trail forks is an awesome app, god knows how much more lost I'd get without it ha ha ha

[@MTBScotland]

McTrail Rider yeah, the fact it doesn't need a phone signal to work is ace. Shame I'm crap at following it :(

[@JMJC1]

lovely jump at 10:14 mate.

[@b0bl00i]

Looks quite similar to Sweden where I am.

[@b0bl00i]

@@McTrailRider just pick the hilly / mountainous parts! I live on an island where the tallest peak is 50 m.. Glad I have a motor on my bike so I get some speed 😎

Don't think I would have posted this one
