@@specializeddoug aye I’ve done it a few times myself. One time Eileen my partner fell aff her bike at the zig zags and of course it was obviously my fault 🫣
Nice to see that route on video. Done in dozons of times, one of my favourites. it also passes the old CTC (Cyclists Touring Club) Glasgow Ledi Hut between the Falls of Leny and Loch Luibnaig at Stank Burn and Stank Farm.
I considered joining you on Sunday Doug, it was a perfect day for it, but I set out a bit earlier and did the Three Glens loop from Callander, thought I would've bumped into you on the way back, but I ended up just taking in the sights, was in no hurry to get back, was an epic day to be honest, glad you all enjoyed your session too, ATB. 👍
Cheers man. What is the three Glens loop then, is that a good route? Do you have a link to it by any chance please or do you fancy leading us round it?
@@specializeddoug To be honest Doug the loop definitely leans more towards a lumpy double track MTB route rather than an enjoyable flowy Gravel ride, I'm not saying it's not doable on a Gravel bike, although I'd definitely want 50mm tyres with a dropper post as minimum spec, I did it on an EMTB. I found this recent video of the loop. th-cam.com/video/3qZ17vS4TiI/w-d-xo.html I've seen a few other videos on TH-cam of guys doing it on Gravel bikes but the video's were way less honest than the video above. IMHO the loop itself is too short on it's own, that's why I coupled it with Callander to Glen Ogle, instead of an out and back I made it a whole loop, technically it should be called the 4 Glens loop, although it is quite a challenge on it's own, with very lumpy technical sections on both the ascent and descent. Let me know what you think. ATB
Great video, great ride, great company, thanks! The tyre pressure issues continued even with a butyl tube so I'm thinking I've got a splinter of glass or a thorn stuck in the tyre that I cant find.
Thanks. That’s a pity Ben. Good luck finding it. 🤞🏻 In the past I’ve tried to find where the hole is in the inner tube, where that is in relation to the valve and then where that is on the tyre if that makes sense.
No problem @tolmie78. I usually post an invite on TH-cam so if you Subscribe to the channel you should see the video invite which will have all the planned route and meeting details.
In my humble opinion probably one of the best routes in Scotland ❤. Cheers James
Of the routes we’ve done James it’s certainly right up there and that’s why we do it so often. In Autumn it’s really pretty special.

Cheers Stuart. I didn’t know there was a hut there. I’ll need to look out for it next time.
Cracking day for it. 😎 Well done guys. Hope to catch one again soon. 😁
Cheers Chris. Hope things are going well over by.
Cracking film again! 😁
Thanks @daveislay. It’s always nice to hear that people enjoy the videos.
Another good one Doug 👍

Another great video Gilly. Itching to get back out. Going to try a short flat few miles this week to see how it goes.
Cheers Stu. We are heading up the Windfarm Wednesday night if that’s any good to you?
@@specializeddoug I'll pass. Too soon as just over the 5 week mark since op. Will start gradual and build myself up again.
No worries@@Stu1903. See you soon buddy.
There was a rake of firmware updates for the AXS in the last week. Had to do mine on the e-bike before hitting the trails on Saturday
Thanks Stevie. I’ll have a look at that. Hope to see you out with us again soon.
Doug I’m from Jackton in ek I was wondering if I could tag along on one of your rides if that’s ok, I’ve followed you on Strava tonight.
