Off-road routes in Angus?

toontra

I'm taking the MTB up to Montrose in September and am looking for off-road routes in Angus, hopefully some in the glens. I can't find anything online - just a few abandoned websites.

Anyone in the area have some online routes they'd like to share?

Cheers Andrew! Without a car that's going to be a bit far for a day ride but thanks anyway.

You can go to Glen Clova which is a few miles west of Kirriemuir. From the car park there you can cycle right through to Loch Muick. Fantastic scenery and you will certainly see some glens.

That sounds perfect! What I'm really after are some online routes (Bikely, etc) from locals so I'd know what direction to go. I suspect the glens are a maze of tracks, many not even on OS maps. I'd feel pretty nervous just setting out without a pretty good idea of where I'm going, especially if the weather turns nasty.

Maybe no-one has made any routes up?

Have a look at these 2 links. I do have a map of the circuit and i'll try and post it as well.
