A Sunday ride - On a Monday??!!**+??


I was joined by my little brother for a quick Sunday Loop around the Pentlands in Edinburgh on Monday, which ended up at the Flotterstone Inn, as that is where we started from. Lovley sunny day and not too many sheep, but a word of warning......
...The Pub in question will not alow you to buy a bowl/plate of chips on their own...how weird.
But my bro being the smart arse that he is requested a portion of onion ring which seems to be ok alongside a plate of chips.
One great thing in their favour is the fact that they do serve these with REAL Heinz tomato ketchup!! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Oh and they sell beer!! :-)

Ae Forest - 7Stanes


Do you feel ok, Ae??
Look at the above picture. Does it smack you as someone who is taking 'pleasure' from the delights of mountain biking or does it look like the face of a man wishing he was sat in the cafe, drinking lattes and eating cakes???
Well he took two good crashes and three (3) punctures and sweated buckets...did he enjoy it? I think in a strange way (like we all do) he did, but you can read more about this right from the horses mouth when he sends me his article and we publish it on the website at Mountain Biking Scotland (www.mountain-biking-scotland.com) which should be up and running in the next few week.
Cheers :-)

ps. I had a great time!!! :-)
