back in Scotland again, conditions different this time, -4! icy corners in the shade, warm in the sunshine. riding with a newbie is cool, watching them learn how to handle the corners, having them beat you when balancing on the skinnies!, trying to coach but in a non patronising way is very difficult, i hope i did ok. tailoring the route to match their fitness so as to not demoralise, then hoping for and geting a big grin after a swoopy downhill!
sunshine+superb trails+enthusiasm+soup and cake rewards=satisfaction and big grins
ride 111
11 miles
total 1426
