Wintery Hamsterley

A weekend spent at home as weather forecast was rubbish.

Saturday was spent with Rach demoing an Orange Five....no go!

Sunday was spent on the X bike on the forest trails.  Brutal conditions


Nice to be able to come home and chill by the fire.


BTW Rach committed to a Carbon Santa Cruz as a replacement to her Stolen Merida 96.  Nice!

New Year

A fabulous week was had in Dumfries and Galloway.
 
We had booked this cycling weekend prior to our biked getting nicked.  So many thanks to Tim and Charlie for the loan of their rides.
 
 
Mabie? Why ever not!
 
Crisp, 'dry / frozen trails. 
 







 
A quick sprint up the nearby Crifel for smashing cloudy views
  
Kirrughtree once again lived up to our expectations.  The best 'natural' man made singletrack around.
 
 Glentrool on a wet and windy day.  Bru time!


 
Back at Kirrughtree Rach blasted the trails on a Santa Cruz demo bike.  Sold!



 
 Our base for the week.  Small but perfectly formed.
 
Galloway forest park.  Stunning.


 
A great week...we need a rest!  Back to work
