Do This Ride - www.strava.com/activities/11240865908
For a very long time, I have wanted to pedal my e-bike up the Annat descent up in Torridon. Well, In this video, I do just that.
Turns out it was actually pretty easy and also very enjoyable.

A Very Tough, But Stunning Mountain
Просмотров 6 тыс.День назад
Ride Log - www.strava.com/activities/11232361764 Back in 2018 I rode a mountain called Sgorr Dhearg. It was only my second mountain that I tackled on my bike after Ben Lomond, and honestly, it was terrifying! This mountain is raw and pure, with no official path at any point. I climbed up the way I went down in this video, and once I got to the top, I was too scared to go back down that way. Tha...
British Enduro Round 1 - Laggan Wolftrax
Просмотров 8 тыс.14 дней назад
Ride Log - www.strava.com/activities/11283383221 My very first enduro race was at Laggan Wolftrax back in 2018, so when I seen that Tweedlove managed to get it going again, I booked my spot. I love this place, and I know the trail centre side quite well, so I thought I could be fairly competitive. I could have justified using my Claymore enduro bike for this, but I opted to take the Highlander ...

Ride Log - www.strava.com/activities/11002254560 Louise's Website - www.headintheskymtb.com/ Somehow, me and Louise managed to get some amazingly good weather on the 20th of March to do the Torridon classic. Believe it or not, I hadn't actually done the classic route before, only the Lollipop loop. So I was keen to give it a try. For me, the Lollipop loop is better, but I think the classic will...

    Great video and usual. I was wondering what safety tech do you have, especially going up there on your own in the evening? No phone coverage up there, fella! What extra clothing do you have in your bag in case you bin it big time - break a leg, 3or4 ribs etc? Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Still fail to understand why you do not wear gloves. Try getting back down the hill with hands ripped to shreds after a bad fall. Thanks for your great videos. Be good to hear what you consider taking with you depending on what ride you do. Cheers.

    As an American, usually the most we’re taught about the UK’s royalty is the stuff around the revolutionary war and maybe just who the current king or queen is, which makes it surprising in the best way possible that compared to the kings we’re taught about, Charles is an incredibly nice man who if someone like me saw him on the street I would even know he was the king!

    Yep, eminently doable. The climb up to the col between Maol Cheann Dearg and An Ruadh Stac is mostly doable too accept for the loose stony final section. Ps... I used trail mode on my Shimano EP801 motor and and set my rear shock to firm and I had much more control of the bike on the Annat climb. The rear suspension curve on Mondrakers is usually firm as they are designed for pedaling so no see sawing going over rocks. Nice vid.

      Daylight is nearly at 5am to 10pm atm. I don’t think I would be in more control with higher bars, I’m already running these bars higher than I even have and I’m not sure if it’s any better for me.
