Glentress is one of my favourite places to ride in the UK the trail centre is great and something for everyone. It’s great to see your lady riding and shredding it up she looks like she really enjoyed it. I’d like to get my other half in to it but she’s not keen but seeing Alex riding more would really help convince her that an EMTB would help with the hard ups. Keep up the good work dude 👍🏻

Great video and you made a couple of good points like its true that being up on the mountains in is biking at its best without a doubt but on the flip side we have glentress and other centres which are truely class venues to come and experience cycling in the great Scottish outdoors which is all some people want but like u say also fantastic places to practise and hone your skills to get up on the mountains and glens and ride in scotlands stunning landscape. Thanks for sharing and showing just how much there is out there for people who want to get out and pedal cheers

I love This place. Where I learnt to ride mtb. It's usually a 2 half drive up. But always worth it. When the divine gives me the cash The tweed valley is where I am going to live so I can ride the trails in Glentress and innerleithen when ever I want. The black routes and even the reds & blues are great. 😁😁😉😃 Great vlog catching the essence of hot summer days in the park.👍👌

Glenlivet and Fochabers are good for beginners. Glenlivet is like a massive blue with a couple of features you can bypass or build confidence on, it certainly builds fitness though. Fochabers is a mix of blues and a red, the Black is totally ignorable but the short Orange is a blast. Theres also a good skills area at Fochabers and a very small one with a pump track at Glenlivet. You might be bored stiff, but that's fine. There are also really good skills areas at Grantown on Spey and Forres. The Forres one is outstanding.

Ideal place to take my wife, she's been off the bike for a while and the blues at gt or Karnvali should be good to build her confidence........I was thinking of the local woods but she'll probably try something she's not ready for again.

I love your matching bikes. My partner and I have his-and-hers stump jumpers... I cringe when I see guys trying to get their partners keen on mountain biking by taking them out on under-spec'd bikes on overly-challenging trails. Good on you for doing it right!
@biketothetop6 жыл бұрын
Lots of nice flowy trails... I'm used to seeing you on nothing but chunky challenging backcountry trails. That's great that you got your girlfriend out there... All it takes is practice and she'll be a lot more comfortable on the fun stuff. I like that Lombard Street... named after the steep, switch backing San Francisco street. That last trail was a nice way to finish with all the jumpy hops and turns.
