High Burnside - Whole different ball game (or should that be bike game)
Turnertower:
Burnside living up to its name on the climbs π«π

Monday night is fun night. Always was in Edinburgh. Most nights the week can be too now itβs Spring in Aviemore! π
Turnertower:
Actually out in shorts and a base layer today! πβοΈπ΅π²πͺ
Turnertower:
Oh look, off-camber roots. My favourite π³
Turnertower:
Love how it just looks like some lumps in the forest. Actual slope angle is this: \ π

The next project - Huwβs 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 ππ³ 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 π
Turnertower:
So today I got schooled in the steeps...just when you think youβre cracking it. NUH πππ
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 ππ³βοΈ
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 Iβd 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 ππ¬π
Turnertower:
Iβve ridden THR a few times now and wasnβt 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 π¬π
Turnertower:
Wondering why we werenβt going his usual requisite speed with the bike
Turnertower:
The top of the slabby steep stuff at Burnside, didnβt 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 π though
