A beautiful day on upper Deeside and it coincided with a pre-planned fixture by mountain bike. Great to see winter receding and the local moors starting to look better. Snow was just 3 weeks back (and may come again I suppose).
A fairly short overall mileage at 17 kms but it had some good ups (Cnoc Dubh ascent, and the technical climb back above Burn o'Vat), and some fast rolling descents (principally to Raebush cottage). Dry pine needles under out wheels most of the way with bare granite slabs at the top.
We even beat the local pensioners walking group back to the teashop for soup & sarnies.
