What a day yesterday was! A group of us went down to GT yesterday for a bit of XC action. The weather was amazing, blue skies and warm sun all day. It was like a cool summers day without the midges. Despite several punctures, some falling off and someone with a rear wheel minus 3 spokes all in one place, we made it round the black route and also linked up a few sections of the red route. In the end we got what must have been over 6 hours riding done and everyone was grinning at the end of the day. I was out on my 4X bike which, needless to say, isnt really suited to all day riding, and I'm certainly feeling it today. Hopefully I'll get a couple of pics from others that went but for now I'll leave you with this... (actually I'm having a few problems with the blogg so I'll post some pics up later)
Something else I should probably mention is that on the way through Peebles the police were stopping every vehicle. The reason for this was to check that bikes and bike racks had been fitted properly and were not obstructing lights or number plates. Drivers of cars which the police were not happy with were issued a £30 on the stop fine. Lesson of the day, make sure your bike racks are fitted properly or put your bike in the car whenever possible.
