Merry Christmas all!

I know there has been a lot of snow in the area, does anyone know how rideable the blue, red and black trails are at Glentress?

    Glentress really need to put up a couple of webcams on the trails! :lol:

    Interested to see what the conditions are like myself, as I'm surround with nearly a foot of snow where I live, and I'm dying to get out on my bike.

    From what I've read on other forums, Glentress is not ridable, nor is Innerleithen

    Also heard that some other trail centres are closed: Llandegla & Dalby Forest

    Went to Glentress today. Made it up to the Buzzard's Nest car park, where there is about 8-12 in of snow. A lot of pushing was involved. Came back down the blue route and was able to ride it all, though it wasa bit sketchy and there were many sideways moments. Still, it was kind of fun....

    I wouldn't fancy the Black route, or even a lot of the Red, in these conditions.
