gary-mac Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 If the glasgow ride is cancelled due to snow this Sunday and the weather here in kinlochleven is ok who would be up for some really nice natural trials riding. The British motorcycle trials championships is held here so garrenteed some good riding. It's right in the middle, 2hour from glasgow,Perth,inverness etc so not to far to travel really. Everyone welcome. Cheers Garymac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary-mac Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hi guys. i went out first thing this morning and took afew pictures of the terrain at the (mound) as you can see the weather is cold but there is still alot of serious trials to be done as all the rocks a dry and grippy. This would be a safe option if glasgow is cancelled due to snow. Reall good natural ground with plenty to do. This is only some of the mound there are still 2areas that i didn't take any pics, I'd also say its def good enough for a trials round. also the famous british champ round step is the one with my pal looking a tube in it lol.

gary-mac Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) hey gary, is it still looking good? are the roads ok aswell? Johnies keen and maybe others, are there any hostels or anything available round your way? morning all, i've woke up to rain this morning (very lite) though which is great news as the tiny bit of snow is going rapid style plus tomorrow is a good day with sunshine so should be ideal for riding, some bits slippy being wet under foot but thats trials for you!! I'm heading out to the mound at lunch time for a ride and will update the thread to give a heads up. rab there is the black water hostel plus, tailrace inn,macdonalds hotel, in the village. fingers crossed lads.

gary-mac Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) Just in from a 2hour practice and the conditions are getting better and better. No snow on any of the practice areas, there's a breeze and its drying all the rocks off nicely. Come on guys could be the last good day out. Plus I need someone to show me how the hell to gap to front, I get it some times then other times I just crash lol.. Temps are sitting at 5-6 at the moment.

rab3481 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 hey gary, looks like no one's keen. I'm not too sure now about driving all that way on my own with dodgy road conditions. I'll definitely be keen to come up in better weather as it seems a great spot to ride. ride now there's not even any word on glasgow!
