Turnertower: High Burnside - Whole different ball game (or should that be bike game)
Turnertower: Burnside living up to its name on the climbs πŸ˜«πŸ˜‚
Turnertower: Monday night is fun night. Always was in Edinburgh. Most nights the week can be too now it’s Spring in Aviemore! πŸ‘
Turnertower: Actually out in shorts and a base layer today! πŸ˜β˜€οΈπŸ˜΅πŸŒ²πŸ’ͺ
Turnertower: Oh look, off-camber roots. My favourite 😳
Turnertower: Love how it just looks like some lumps in the forest. Actual slope angle is this: \ πŸ˜‚
Turnertower: The next project - Huw’s Trail
Turnertower: Burnside - riding as perfect as can be. Trying to fit in as many laps as I can before autumn turns to slop and then the snow puts us on lock down
Turnertower: This is the difference riding in the Cairngorms makes. Basic tips: bum low, elbows out, bend with the turns, lay off your front brake and always look panic stricken πŸ˜‚πŸ˜³ Still sooo much to learn, but ooooh what a summer
Turnertower: Ironically enough I got lost today trying to find a trail called Intellectual Property- what a dumb ass πŸ˜‚
Turnertower: So today I got schooled in the steeps...just when you think you’re cracking it. NUH πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
Turnertower: Went all the way down to Innerleithen- had a chat with some guy who said Burnside has some decent steep stuff too. Came home determined to see what he was chatting about. Yeah...Fair play πŸ˜‚πŸ˜³β†˜οΈ
Turnertower: Nazi Gold (can only assume must be named after how blummin well hidden it is). V steep, techy but a weird one - I managed no dabs down sections I def thought I’d have a stop at; then had major wobbles at parts Id never even glanced at when I walked it?!
Turnertower: For the life of me I cannot remember the chicken runs πŸ“πŸ˜¬πŸ˜…
Turnertower: I’ve ridden THR a few times now and wasn’t expecting it to still be so dry when I walked it with Rods tonight. Still crazy when you see things from a different angle though πŸ˜¬πŸ˜…
Turnertower: Wondering why we weren’t going his usual requisite speed with the bike
Turnertower: The top of the slabby steep stuff at Burnside, didn’t really fell brave enough today. You def need to be on the A game for Burnside and was prob a good call given sheet ice in places. Trails lower down were looking πŸ‘Œ though
Turnertower: Slush puppy
