Scotland haunts my dreams. Was there for 3 days last summer and I can't wait to get back.

I would love to combine trail riding with Scotch distillery touring. I would make a mess of myself.

stealthpenguin (Apr 26, 2016 at 20:19)

Seconded. I have the opportunity to go here in a couple months and if anyone from the area could post some favorite distilleries with some favorite trails it would be greatly appreciated!

@stealthpenguin: Distilleries easy to find. What kind of trails are you looking for?

Shoe2190 (Apr 27, 2016 at 2:32)

@stealthpenguin: Go to some of the Speyside distilleries and ride at Aviemore. The guys at Bothy bikes are awesome if you need trails routes.

'Scotch on the Rocks' sounds like heaven!

dont forget to try BREWDOG "dead pony club" ale

And it's a happy coincidence that the Highlands produce some of the finest whisky on the planet.

adwamski (Apr 27, 2016 at 9:40)

@stealthpenguin: head to Glasgow and there's a pub called the copper still, all the whisky and info you'll need for a local tour. The barman really knows his sheet.

"Bikes or beat it" This is it, the quote for my life.

conv3rt (Apr 26, 2016 at 19:14)

As long as you can say it with that outrageous accent

Lookinforit FL (Apr 26, 2016 at 19:23)

@conv3rt: I just yell it really really loud and it compensates

gowherescotlandmtb (Apr 27, 2016 at 4:21)

@Lookinforit: you've got it nailed!

conv3rt (Apr 27, 2016 at 6:23)

hA! Yes!

betsie (Apr 26, 2016 at 23:56)

Scotland is ok

Everywhere has its attraction. Here... the barron landscapes, rock, wind, real dirt, and arctic style pine forests are all fantastic.
I love this country. Working 1 hour from Torridon... I should ride it more mid week.

Imagine how much amazing it would be without the midge

davidsimons (Apr 27, 2016 at 6:45)

@mikeep: Or the cold, the wet, the damp, the early darkness 8 months a year, and the misery. But, for a week in August, fingers crossed re the rain, it's really very nice.

Catfood-Johnson (Apr 27, 2016 at 8:04)

Whisky is the tie breaker for me.

betsie (Apr 27, 2016 at 10:38)

@mikeep: those wee beasts... smidge works pretty well, but nothing works 100%. It's our strategy for keeping the hills pretty empty.

Davidsimons. ... haha. I gave you a prop for that. It has snowed ever month from November. Including today. 6 months a year for the early darkness. But mid summer.... you can ride until around 2300 and for the winter we have cheap Chinese lights.

I hope that you have a great time in August over here and are planning to ride some nice trails.

ElStupido (Apr 26, 2016 at 20:14)

I rode with Go Where a couple of years ago, super awesome people and super awesome riding! Scotland is a must do!

gowherescotlandmtb (Apr 27, 2016 at 4:21)

Thank you very much!

adwamski (Apr 27, 2016 at 9:41)

@gowherescotlandmtb: you guys are totally doing it right. If I ever get my gf off of towpaths we are coming!

kevcar43 (Apr 27, 2016 at 10:05)

It's not JUST the North West, they also do the utterly amazing Tweed Valley, home to some of the steepest wee trails known to man thanks to the local bike shop trail building guru's, they even have one named " too hard for EWS "
it was built for the EWS but they wimped out and didn't use it haha, says it all about the place

betsie (Apr 27, 2016 at 10:46)

There is loads if steeps around Scotland. Need to ride "too hard for EWS" at some point too see what it's about. we have some pretty steep and pretty gnarly tracks up here, like many steep and rough local tracks though, you couldn't even put a bds near them.

identiti124 (Apr 26, 2016 at 17:38)

Scotland's one of the radest places on earth.

brandonj1979 (Apr 26, 2016 at 18:15)

Going in a month, can't wait...

Ger09 (Apr 27, 2016 at 11:48)

Scotlands bike heaven.. And the Scottish are a sound bunch too

Setanimod (Apr 26, 2016 at 18:43)

My wife keeps talking about going, and now I guess Im on board!

Thelloyd (Jul 13, 2016 at 21:47)

If we land in Glasgow in late July, what would you recommend for bike hire and trails in the Glasgow Edinburgh Dumfries area? 2 of us, fit but average ability. Day trips whisky / bike tours. Thanks

spok5 (Apr 26, 2016 at 23:27)

I have never been tempted by these types of organised ride but you guys have it nailed. Mebbes one day my brother and I will get on the blower and get in touch - never ridden NW before.

DougBasqueMTB (Apr 27, 2016 at 0:35)

Andy and Aneela are top people and it´s always inspiring to spend time in the mountains with those two. Great video guys!

gowherescotlandmtb (Apr 27, 2016 at 4:22)

Thanks Doug. Please tell me Orbea didn't dub you?!

DougBasqueMTB (Apr 28, 2016 at 0:56)

@gowherescotlandmtb: I´m waiting to see. The video is delayed for "technical reasons" :-)

Andy-ap (Apr 28, 2016 at 2:59)

I've had a bit of a relapse on my annual visit to Scotland. Even just for hiking but i'm getting desperate to go back now and with my bike. If only the wife wasn't scared by blue runs.

tuskaloosa FL (Apr 27, 2016 at 1:50)

Andy always has a 'cunning plan' and a 'wee punchy climb' .. just an awesome week spent with Andy.

gowherescotlandmtb (Apr 27, 2016 at 4:23)

There's never a shortage of punchy climbs, eh? ????

Kyle17290 (Apr 27, 2016 at 3:47)

And there i was thinking Scotland was England's biggest county ha. Ironically im from Gods Country, Yorkshire.

Chick0 (Apr 27, 2016 at 3:58)

I rode with GoWhere a coupe of years ago, was one of the best trips ever. Amazing trails, amazing food and great people.

Catfood-Johnson (Apr 27, 2016 at 8:08)

God that makes me jealous.

bikindad (Apr 29, 2016 at 9:26)

MMMM, how to convince the board for an "extended road trip"...Great video..

ajrogers1978 (May 1, 2016 at 21:32)

Gowhere helped us get this project of the ground - cheers Andy!

Below threshold threads are hidden

poah (Apr 27, 2016 at 1:02)

how much did this advert cost them?

boardinbob FL (Apr 27, 2016 at 1:18)

Why would either Juliana or Go Where buying advertising time be any concern of yours?

poah (Apr 27, 2016 at 2:43) (Below Threshold)

@boardinbob: why is it any of your concern either or are you just trolling me again. I don't swing that way bob

DoisforDonuts (Apr 27, 2016 at 2:50)

the bulk of the videos on Pinkbike are produced or affiliated with a for profit company. Bike companies, tourism campaigns. why single out this one?

boardinbob FL (Apr 27, 2016 at 2:55)

@poah:

You're just the very epitome of a keyboard warrior Ross.

And that's the 2nd time you've made a snide comment about my sexuality.

Don't worry princess, I'm not gay so you've got nothing to be scared of. I just detest homophobic little creeps like you.

poah (Apr 27, 2016 at 2:56) (Below Threshold)

@DoisforDonuts: cause it was crap

poah (Apr 27, 2016 at 3:44)

@boardinbob: you're the one trolling me dude, making aggressive personal comments and I've made any comments about your sexuality. I said I don't swing that way which is about mine so I think you are a bit paranoid

trauty (Apr 27, 2016 at 15:54)

@poah: I think you two should do a bike trip somewhere and chill out..

poah (Apr 27, 2016 at 19:38)

@trauty: I'm surprised the guy doesn't follow me when I'm out on the bike given he trolls me on every forum I'm a member of

boardinbob FL (Apr 28, 2016 at 4:34)

@poah: Ross, it's quite simple.

I find your use of the word "gay" as a term to describe things you don't like, unacceptable. It's nothing personal against you. I would, and do, call anyone out that uses that term as a slur.

As a member of the Glasgow Meetup group, you will be on rides with people of alternative sexuality. Would you use the term "gay" to criticise something or someone in their company?If you would, then I'll just walk away from this one now as I doubt we'll ever see eye to eye on this.

poah (Apr 28, 2016 at 5:04)

@boardinbob yes I would, I have and I don't care if you get offended as thats your problem not mine but to troll any reply to my posts calling me a homophobe is libelous.

Thankfully we live in a country with free speach so if I want to use gay or ghey to describe an inanimate object I can. Its not illegal to do so nor is it a slur. If you continue to troll and libel me I will be forced to report you to the mods as the owners of the site are responsible for the "publication".

for the record I don't care what sexuality you are, its irrelavent to my life.

ilovedust (Apr 26, 2016 at 22:45)

Not the people. Just the dreaded midge. It gives me the geebees thinking of them now.

Conanangus (Apr 27, 2016 at 2:31)
