Fort Bill - Witches Trails

good days riding at Fort William Nevis Range on Saturday at the Witches Trails.
First ride of the day was a pore-race practice on the 10 Under the Ben course. Good and fast at some sections but for most part seemed like a blue run.
After a short break and a biscuit we tried the World Champs XC course. Steep steep steep uphill followed by a fantastic singltrack run all the way to the car park!

Craufurdland

Out riding at Craufurdland trails yesterday and there is a few new bits of singletrck and its all running dry and great just now.

Glentress

Took a trip to Glentress. Warm day but still snow at the top. Got a puncture and Chris nearly had a spectacular crash!

Whitelee 40 miler

Did a 40 mile loop from Darvel to the back of Whitelees windfarm then on down the A77 into Kilmarnock and back to Darvel. Great weather

Firetower Trails

Went to the Firetower Trail near Lochgilphead in Argyll and Bute. I was a bit dissapointed with it it. Biggest section was actually closed for forestry work and the rest was pretty average. The North Shore was quite good but not enought to make me get back on the bike for a second lap.

Dark Skies for "The Stomach"

THe Stomach made its race debut yesterday at Kirroughtree Dark Skies Race. The course was quite a tough wee 6km but fun none the less. To be honest we got our hopes up about a podium finish too soon. As we headed to the start line two riders from team GB were along side us. We were in the lead for the first 28 inches but after the four hours (2 in the dark) we came a creditible 16 having done 6 laps of the course(team GB managed 11). After the race there was a team there from Edinburgh Royal Observatory with a planetarium which was brilliant and the night sky down there was amazing. Definitely will go back next year.

So team Trust Me I'm A Stomach had a training run at Kirroughtree. A good day out was had and improvement was there. Cold but super weather and red route was running great. Heres some pictures of the day and look out for a post on the Dark Skies event me and Chris have entered.
