Has spring arrived?

Has spring arrived? Well lets not speak to soon, but the sun was out in the Pentlands and it felt good.

Ian and Mick came for a beginners skills course and a great day was had by all. In the morning we covered techniques, and they both excelled in climbing, descending and finding the nirvana of mountain biking - 'the right line'.

Ian had a problem with one of his hoofs due to a rogue SPD bolt, but luckily the Pentland Hills cobbler (Mick) was on hand.....

After lunch I took them on a ride to use their new techniques. We rode a variety of good technical trails ranging from gravel decents, rooty single track through woods and technical climbing.

We ended the day in true style, with a fast technical decent that left all three of us grinning ear to ear. A great day's mountain biking!!
