More Stanes

I saved the last the last of my 7 stanes journey, for the place that had come the most recommended to what I would like, and Dalbeattie sure was a great ride. Unlike the other parks, this was more natural, and had minimum man-made sections other than keeping the singletrack signed.
Endless 30km section of singletrack, and boy were my arms sore at the end!
I turned a corner and was fronted with this amazing bit of downhill track, it caught me by suprise but by the time I pointed my front wheel down I was commited.

Another 'skull' black diamond section. A rock wall downhill. It was slightly wet and I rolled to the top of it twice, before 'zipping my man-suit up' and rolling down. Once at the bottom I was giggling and rode it again, but on this time things got a little sketchy halfway down and I was lucky not to leave vast amounts of skin on the rock.

Face it man, now you have a serious problem.

You will start dreaming about the Tour Divide, Think Tour Divide, and start looking for more information on blogs about Jill Homer , Matthew Lee, John Nobile,
Mike Curiak and the Petervary’s

There is only cure!!
