I've got a couple of days working out of our office in Perth, was considering bringing the bike, would there be anyone around Monday or Tuesday evenings or possibly Wed afternoon?
Dunno times or owt yet, would depend on how I get on with what I have to do up there, but I imagine if I get wrapped up on Tuesday night for 5pm I could be at GT for 7pm easy
Would be on hardtail not Meta and taking it easy cause I am still well off my biking best (which isnt good anyway) for some reason
but the GT red was fun last time I was around

Also anyone tell me how to get to any trails on Kinnoull Hill?
Anything else round Perth or north of Forth bridge? (Dom was it Braefoot where you filmed that vid?)

I'm on late shift next week, so won't be able to show you around.

There's been a lot of change up at Kinnoull hill since I was last there. Have a look on Descent World, as the guy behind the trails was posting details there the last I looked. The trails there, are actually on the hill to the north east of Kinnoull hill, and the car park is here -

Braefoot is on the north side of the Firth of Forth just east of Dalgety bay, but I've never been and it's been a while since I've seen a map of where to park there.

Other options are Pitmedden, north west of Auchtermuchty, and Blairadam, west of Kelty, but you really need somebody to show you around to get the best from them.

There is also Falkland, but it's not really worth it unless you like big stunts.


You could also head Stirling direction, as there's some brilliant natural riding around there. Dumyat, Cambusbarron, North Third, and Ben Cleugh all have brilliant trails.

cheers MC, gives me something to go at and options tat dont mean getting back round Edinburgh.
Maybe show me round next time, pretty sure I will be up and down again now fairly frequently, the 'new baby' excuse for not travelling is starting to wear off a bit with work now

As mentioned on FB im around dude, im game for GT either night so just let me know what you fancy, but if you wanna do the red route i will be pushing most of it (on the way up that is)  cos im one very unfit fecker right now lol  plus i doubt my new supreme will go up hills much better than my last
