06:17 Hit that on Monday (1-07-24) on the Ragley Marley 29er F/R 2.6/2.4 and had to run supper low rear (Tannus Tubeless insert) to ride over the slabs even then some super hard hits on the rear but it was fun! First run dry then second run it rained making the slab very wet but they still had loads of grip. Only done the blue up round the reads a few times. Just done the Corrieyairich Pass to Fort A then right down the Great Glen Way to Spean bridge and back to laggan Sat/Sun so was pretty knacked for the full Laggan Wolftrax trails 🙃i'll be back.

This is a tough question I guess - but what is your favourite area in Scotland to ride? Considering a move up there in the next 10 years or so and I'd love to be able to ride from the door/very short commutes to decent trails. Everything is at least an hour away by car for me at the moment (unless I'm on the gravel bike...)

We go there when we go to World Cup at Ft William each year, usually a group ride - just be aware Reds and Black in the places up in that region are definitely not the same as in Glentress etc, GT are easy by comparison! And I had a wee look at the trails on the other hill and they were so steep - more Golfie/Inners/Dunkeld like - does not come across due to the GoPro effect although in some wider shots you can see the trees sloping away. I like the new trails retaining some optional features too - bit of flow, bit of tech to break it up. Looks more fun that the GT new trails which I rode last week. But the place has something for everyone - definitely worth a long drive! Hit Glencoe Red and Black too if you have time or camp/get a cheap airbnb and do a few days up there

The new trails definitely help to make the place more accessible for more people, because as you say, the other trails are not as easy as the grading would have you believe. Glen Coe is a great wee place too, although that black trail is outrageously full on🙈
