Riding the trails at Abriachan

Today was my turn for an outing 'sans bebe' and Rick was off work so we decided to hit the bike trails at Abriachan.

It was a gloomy misty day as we left Invergarry but by the time we approached the bike trails we were treated to blue skies and sunshine - perfect!

The forest is really well maintained and has some great bike trails, including some excellent play parks. We chose a loop linking up a green and a blue run to make a 10k-ish trail containing some tricky turns, a few lung-stretching uphill bursts, some scary but fun downhills and some whoop-inducing humps.


I did manage a fairly spectacular nose-dive, landing completely clear of my bike and almost hitting the cairn at the high point of the ride, as I struggled to get to grips with my SPD pedals, but it didn't cramp my confidence too much and I even had a play about on some see-saws at the end.


A grand trip out, I can heartily recommend Abriachan (they also have a brilliant adventure playground for littlies) and hopefully it won't be long before I can get back for another go.
