Nothing, it's only worth doing if you link up the upper knock, Culcrieff steep, distillery run and some stuff on Bairds etc. Everything that was worth riding has been felled and pushing up and down the knock for 1 minute runs got dull anyway!
True, mostly ride around comrie now

Does one of them have a bit where it goes under a tree which has monster logos nailed to it?

I just went for a cheeky wee razz around the knock and spotted, where the TP run used to be, that the Hydro appear to be making a set of dedicated bike trails! Nothing big, but lots of rollers and berms.

It's completely un-surfaced as of yet and really just a big dirty line on the Knock, but looks to be interesting. Can anyone shed any light on these developments?

What, seriously? That's the stuff I dreamed about years ago, pictures please. Sure it's not the tractor routes?

There's some basic signage, ala 'bumps', going up. I'm wondering if it's perhaps something to do with their off-road segwaying, but I guess only time will tell.

There's nothing to ride as of yet, it's just a big pooey line of mud, but it's well worth having a nosey at.

Regardless, more than happy to do a cheeky wee best of Crieff, singletrack razz.

There used to be a number of lines up where the teepee was, but they all died when the trees were cut down maybe 4/5 years ago. Then we built a new one, then more trees were cut down, then we built another new one, which might be still there... The teepee area is the section of the upper knock roughly facing towards perth.
