We cycled little in Glen Laoigh and before that. If you could cycle all that it would be one of the best Mountain Bike rides in the UK.<br /><br />HenningAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126846029004543431.post-30418442170138001722009-04-12T12:27:00.000-07:002009-04-12T12:27:00.000-07:00PS Sorry, I mean Glen Laoigh, not Glen Derry.PS Sorry, I mean Glen Laoigh, not Glen Derry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126846029004543431.post-51868946364887513072009-04-12T12:26:00.000-07:002009-04-12T12:26:00.000-07:00Which track did you use coming down Glen Derry? Th...Which track did you use coming down Glen Derry? There's the one that goes high up the hillside on the L of the river (looking S) and the one that stays lower on the R (looking S). The one on the L is full of horrible culverts most of which you have to dismount for, though some are crossable at low speeds. The one on the R is full of pine tree roots for the first K or so, then much better after that. And it doesn't waste so much time climbing. <BR/>I would keep this bike beta to myself... but anyone who goes up Glen Derry can find it out for themselves, so I don't see the point. <BR/>With a bit of persistence (and a willingness to wheel the bike) it would certainly be possible to get up to the Hutchie. I gave up well before that, and regretted it when I walked the path later.<BR/>The tracks around Glen Gairn and Glen Avon are pure dead brilliant for wild biking.<BR/>Cheers<BR/>TimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126846029004543431.post-25471000142679742992009-04-11T12:56:00.000-07:002009-04-11T12:56:00.000-07:00strange mountaineering with you bikes???strange mountaineering with you bikes???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
