March 2009 Scotland weekend

Here is just a little taster of what happened in Scotland; a group of us stayed in a timber lodge in Sandyhills with the view to ride the local seven staines and other routes. 6 of us (CT, Charlie, Jamie, Grant, Paul and Neil) met up on Friday lunchtime at Drumlanrigg and we rode the tree lined red and black routes as a warm up for the weekend, 2-3 hours worth! Then onto the chalet to meet CM & Joel and prepare a light supper of Lasagne and chili. Early to bed? for an early rise on Saturday and a trip to Kirroughtree, George came up for the day to experience the Kirroughtree ride. Kirroughtree red and black routes take a few hours, but is definitely worth it, after a swim and sauna to sooth the legs; the Saturday meal is the traditional curry feast, thanks to JP & GA and not forgetting cheesecake by Deb!! Nice and easy wake up on Sunday for the local ride around Dalbeattie, see photos of Grant on mini-slab and Jamie on slab-2! The other picture shows riders enjoying the sun! Monday we finish off with Mabie, an enjoyable way to finish the weekend and great food at the cafe. If you want more details ask any of the riders are check out the DVD coming soon! One last point, Big Thanks to all the supporting crew, partners, wives, girlfriends...who allow the chaps to indulge in MTBing.
