Glentress

After celebrating the joys of interest free credit, I took my trusty new steed over to the bike tracks at Glentress. Suffice to say, much fun was had, despite the fact I nearly killed myself at least three times. Things have certainly moved on since I was a lad. We used to have to ride any old muck, but now there are miles and miles of custom built trails. My favourite part was a big drop you have to hurl yourself from on a skills loop called the "Cycopath" (can you see what they did there?).





It's not as high as it looks to be honest, and the bike means I can remain completely skill free but get away with doing things I really should have grown out of. Anyway, I'm now that sad I thought I'd include a video of me jumping off it.

Update: Just been told off by my friend Dave for not giving him the photo credit he so richly deserves. So, here it is:

And that's that really. I'm not going to embarass myself by talking about "natural highs" or any other such nonsense, but thought I'd post this so people could get in early with the epitaph suggestions.
