This is a video of a gravel ride around Chatelherault Country Park and Strathclyde park after the storms of January 2024. #gravel #gravelbike #gravelcyclingscotland #kinesis
Nice video. Ride was great. I ventured over the other side after and headed for the viewpoint but hadn’t realised how steep it was. Ended up being mostly hike-a-bike on the way up. Came back via the out of action bridge and tried to ride across the burn, ended up with some very wet feet! The structure by the way, I’m pretty sure, is part of the pipeline carrying water from Loch Katrine to the city.
Brilliant Andé. That hike a bike couldn’t have been much fun or the river wading. I don’t like the sound of the super steep stuff on a fixie either. You are a glutton for punishment. Hopefully that bridge will be replaced soon. Good shout on the water pipeline, that would make sense. Hope to see you again soon big chap.
@@specializeddoughow on Earth did I manage to comment on the wrong video?! Aye, getting feet soaked wasn’t much fun but at least it was right at the end. The bottom of the burn is just a bit chunky to carry enough speed into to make it all the way through. Cheers, catch you soon.
Great looking ride Doug, it's a lovely place you have up there! If a tree that is stood next to a path gets blown down it has a circle of 360° from which to choose where to land. So why does it always land ... 🤬 ...? (Answers on a postcard please, to Mr grumpy...) 😁 👍
Haha Tony. I suppose it’s the same law that makes your toast land butter side down! Hopefully they’ll get the chainsaws into them and get them cleared soon.
Thanks for sharing Doug. It is good to get out, even in the bad weather.
It really is David. Haven’t heard from you for a while. Hope you are still getting the miles in.
Nice video. Ride was great.

😂😂Sounds like you had a good go at it though. Well in big man.

Lol, aye Doug.
If I still had a log burning fire the trails near me would be clear for sure! 🪓🪚😁
There’s certainly a fair bit of fuel lying around out there.
@@specializeddoug yes, it upsets me having to leave it 😭🙂
