Such a great day on the bike! Great company, great trails and stunning weather👌
Cracking video! Definitely going to do this route in the better weather. The green Locan is one of my favourite spots.
This loop is probably the biggest day I've ever had on a bike!
The decent down to Hutchison is the best decent in Scotland ❤️🏴
Thank you all for this .. not only another cracking Mctrail rider vid but the kick up my arse to order whats been in a basket for the last 6 months !
Fantastic vlog of a cracking route. I’ve done Macdui via carn a’mhaim from Linn of Dee 4 times now, and love the Etchechan descent, the hike-a-bike up the two munros is brutal though, never tried this version from North. And done loch morlich to linn of dee too, so know how brutal the section past stones of Avon shelter is. But must try this loop for completeness 😅
Lovely to hear Andrew's telephone voice on the narration :p Great riding as ever – I can't count how many hours of watching this dude and that bike go down the gnar! :p
Did it a few years ago its cracking day out got to be up there as one of the top mtb days in the uk 🤙
Fantastic video. Perfectly captures the feeling of The Cairngorms in spring (including how epically long and hard that day must have been!)
