Ride Arran MTB Guiding

21/05/2022

Can't thank everyone enough for making Sundays Arran Mountain Festival ride such a laugh! The mega rain through the night made for some tricky conditions but everyone kept the stoke high and slayed it. Great to see some old and new faces making the trip across to Arran 🤟

What a day to be out checking some trails ahead of the weekends rides for Arran Mountain Festival . Little bit of the brown stuff about after some recent rain, but forecast leading up looks good which should make for some hero dirt. Can't wait to get shredding with everyone 🤟

Making hay while the sun's oot late. Quick little trail inspection to identify areas that need attention for take care of trails starting soon. Some areas still suffering quite badly from storm damage so the list is fairly long...

Anyone else wishing for some days like these again?! Having some rest from a dislocated shoulder at the moment but itching to get back on the horse

What a way to end the school year back in June for Arran high school MTB club with a hike up Caisteal Abhail finished off with a car park BBQ. Even the weather played ball! What a place... ⛰️

Feels like it's gone from 0 - autumnal very quickly. We've had a cracking summer over here but after some heavy rain recently the trail conditions have changed some what, but I love it... 🤎 Getting after some shloppy turns today

Hardtail hooning is now going to be a regular occurrence. Had this Moxie frame sitting about for ages without any enthusiasm to build it. So glad I did because it's an absolute ripper! Pipedream Cycles

When your not having a good day, your not having a good day... 🤕 Sneaky little pedal grabber

Got to love some spring time shredz. Ground conditions drying out a treat 👌 question is how long will it last? 🎥 AHS Mountain Bike Club

Somebody order the 🔥 for Sunday's advanced session at the Arran Mountain Festival ? Love it when everything aligns to produce a cracking day out. Great group of very capable riders and trails running sweet made for some top shredding with a bit of carnage thrown in for good measure. A minor mechanical sorted in no time to get things rolling again 🤟

Loving no snow and frozen trails at the moment, running summer fast 👌 Also loving how this trail has developed over time. keeping it super smooth 😎

What a way to end what has a been a fairly crazy year. No bikes in sight this time. Absolutely brilliant winter conditions on Arran's hills. Doesn't happen all that often but when everything aligns it makes it all that more special. Great to be back out with Hamilton Cottages Isle of Arran , been a while👶 Happy new year to you all and stay safe 👊

Out exploring in the back garden again. If your not losing your front wheel into a bog ang going OTB you ain't living... 💦🛀🚣

Finally got round to finishing the Highlander build just in time for recent trip to the cairngorms a couple of weeks ago. If you can make it down a very greasy N**i Gold at High Burnside on the maiden voyage and feel sweet then something good must be going on 👌👹

Part 2 - This is where it starts to get a bit tricky deciding which line to take. Things get alot steeper, rougher and concludes with a stair set of doom. If you know, you know 😲🤯☠️

23/10/2020

Cracking couple of half day sessions with Ian & Gavin between the torrential weather. Both hadn't done much off road riding previously but we're keen to get stuck in and with sporting backgrounds they certainly gave 100%! A pure joy to guide with top job satisfaction 👌🏞️🤟🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Probably could have done with a kayak today... Although having a motor most definitely helped. Even though we may have gone through a fair few rivers, still had a great day showing some trails, slaying some slop and seeing what was possible on an EMTB (supplied by them). Well impressed with mullet setup. Top fun but I still love my pedal power 🤙🤙🤙

Anyone else like to press the send button from time to time? We certainly do 👊🤟🔥

Been a hectic month having to readjust things a little but we're getting there. Welcome to the world Rory you massive p**p machine 💩

Top tip - always pick a soft landing when being ejected from a slide... 🥴💥🌱

15/08/2020

Father and son type of ride with Matt and Joe. Great fun showing them some routes and chatting bikes! Joe is only 9 and showed great determination in getting up those hills to access the longer flowing runs 💪🏞️💯

04/08/2020

Rocks, rocks and more rocks coming down off Goatfell. You've gotta work for it but such fun! Oh yeah and some of it's quite sharp... Watch till the end 💥💥💥

29/07/2020

So nice to meet Alec and Ewan who were fairly new to mountain biking and show them some off road trails. Learning about the 'ready position' is such a key element to unlock so much potential. Both did so well on unfamiliar terrain. Hopefully they've been bitten by the bug 🐞🌲🤟

27/07/2020

Cracking little evening ascent of Goatfell last week. Low cloud line made for some atmospheric conditions up top. When it's time to come down let the classic techy Scottish big hill riding commence ☑️🤟😍⛰️👌

Great day with outdoor instructors Ffion and Polly who were looking to get out on some of Arran's trails and pick up some tips on the way. Having met with them on a previous occasion made it even easier to select trails that allowed progression throughout the morning. Both did so well with some technical features on route 🤟🌲🌲🌲

13/07/2020

Proper family outing today with the Conetta's who were looking for an introduction to MTB. Being Arran the trails were slightly hillier than they've been used to but hopefully the downs made up for it! Love passing on tips and seeing it make an instant difference to the ride. Top effort from everyone today!

11/07/2020

Fresh trails are all good and that, but maintaining existing ones is often overlooked. Good day on the tools with and AHS Mountain Bike Club clearing muck and putting in some drainage ⛏️⛏️⛏️💅

05/07/2020

Good news, we're back up and running! Been a busy week behind the scenes getting up to speed with the new COVID guidance.

Locals Brian and Amanda Blackwater Barn Design booked onto a half day guided ride after 3 months out of the saddle wanting a refresh on the basics. This was a great opportunity to assess their current skill set and select trails for maximum enjoyment and progression. After a few little pointers they were really starting to flow. So good to see the smiles and confidence grow throughout the ride. keep it up! 🤟
