Re: A Trossachs Overnighter
Looks great. Have spent a few nights in the bivy at loch Drunkie but mostly in winter as always thought it would be busy and full of numpties. There’s some brilliant riding round that area.

Re: Modern Hardtails
Have used my ragley big al frame and use it for everything. It’s done days at Bike Park wales followed by 5 days bikepacking. Yeah it’s not brilliant at everything and really needs some quicker rolling tyres on it but still comfy and does the job. Got a surly ogre I use for any big bikepacking trips...

Re: Advice Please
Have you plans for coming to tayinloan as there ain’t much there and probably nicer places to take the MTB from the ferry. Cal Mac have a habit of cancelling the wee ferry if needed somewhere else so might be a good idea to have a fall back plan. There’s lots of stream on steam depending on route bu...

Inov-8 rocklite g 345 gtx boots size 9
Bought these hoping they would fit but with my wide feet they just don’t fit. Worn for about 30mins so may have some bits of mud on them but otherwise in very good condition. Navy yellow in colour and size 9. Can pm pictures if required. https://www.inov-8.com/roclite-g-345-gtx-mens-lightweight-hiki...

Re: New Bike Gear Out And Due Out...
There was a harness type thing out a few years ago as I had one when doing a lot of big hills makes it so much easier hike a biking.
Now I seem to one of few who have a rucksack on so bike goes on to rucksack saves my back.

It’s about time I upgraded from using phone for navigation so anyone got a gps they don’t use anymore. Doesn’t need to be anything fancy.

Not the best weeks with the weather went out a run and ended up ice skating for 5km. Probably should think about joining the gym for the next few months when it’s rubbish weather.

Not great as still working through all the Christmas snacks but getting there slowly. More importantly feel so much better actually have energy and motivation to do things at night and weekends.
Some great results from everyone on here.

Re: Glasgow to Adrossan - Advice?
Both the ncn7 and Ayr road are ok to cycle. Aye road is a bit hectic coming out of the city centre depending on time. The ncn7 is a nice cycle but sometimes seems to go through housing estates and back streets for no reason.

Happy new year all.
Don’t post much on here but regular pop in and catch up the adventures. Find bear bones the only place where I can feel included and where sleeping in random ditches is actively encouraged. Hope one day get to meet some folk from here.
