The corner at the carpark is now a screamer due to resurfacing, the main problem is kamikaze sheep! In fact almost all of the south side is in good shape. The North side is truly awful in places.<br /><br />The local roads are awash with riders at the weekends, some even venture out in bad weather.<br /><br />Stay uprightthe ridershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08101078717494723213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565662019262893763.post-59194846099834085752012-03-19T15:50:41.768+00:002012-03-19T15:50:41.768+00:00What's your fastest descent?

Hit 57 MPH on Lednagullin Brae on North Coast in 1998.. much shorter descent, but had better gear and was in mid twenties.<br /><br />Strong memories of doing both sides of the crow on a daily basis during turn of the 90's.. (in every kind of weather imaginable, and in the dark sometimes too). Or the Carron Valley loop. - Weird.. when i began in 87 and 88 I would go clockwise, but from say 89-93, anti-clockwise.. Tak Ma Doon first. From Partick base.<br /><br />In truth.. outside the summer fairweather brigade.. I rarely ever saw another cyclist for weeks or months on end up there.. it was desolate.. solitary miles and I guess I liked that.. Is the streak of tar still there on the section just past the Crow Well? Every inch of the masochism memorised ;)<br /><br />Thanks for the pic.. and sparking that stream of consciousness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
