March 2008 - Scottish weekend

We should have had some rides in Staveley and Elterwater, but these rides have ended up either side of a weekend break in Scotland and so many of the winter riders took a rain check, hopefully Joel has some news on the last ride, watch this space.
Regarding the Scottish trip, we had 8 riders in all spanning the weekend, some rode part of Ae on Friday whilst 3 others rode Mabie; 6 rode Kiroughtree on Saturday, 8 rode Dalbeattie on Sunday, 2 also gave the Kona Dark Side a try later Sunday evening (it looks evil boardwalk, photos to follow). then on Sunday 4 rode out to try Drumlanrig country park, in the end we were also guided for part of the way by Rik the local bike shop owner and trail builder, so it was quite a route, natural riding through the woods, very picturesque. All in all a grand weekend. Pictures and more ride information to follow, I still think Dalbeattie takes some beating, especially now there are some extended single track sections and the Slab is always fun!
