    Nice one Neil. Shame about the weather though. Better days to come mate. Enjoy!

    I did the route up from Coulags last year & have never carried my bike so much! The scenery is awesome though! The Achnashellach descent made the climbing worth it. I did the road section back to Coulags with a torch in the middle of summer! I didn't see anyone on route. Had to work hence the delayed start time. I look forward to watching future vids. I rode the top red of Wolftrax today at a fraction of your speed. My 14 yr old daughter & I loved the red & black trails there. I agree that winter is rough! I have enjoyed binge watching your other vids. You produce great content that is detailed ,clear & well shot/edited. Your biking skills are awesome! Some of the descents @ Dallas wow! You should have more subscribers & views! thx for producing!🙂

    Like many mtber's, Torridon one place I'd love to go, really enjoyed watching your video of it, especially learning that you can ascend from the train station as that (once allowed 🤞) how I would be getting there. Like you say better to get it in the decent weather, well ridden and thanks for sharing! 🤙🚵‍♂️

    Classic route, it’s actually pretty technical in places! The Annat decent just edges it for me personally, feel like it’s got a bit more flow.

    Nice one fella. Just out of interest do you think the lollipop route is manageable on a full charge 625 ??

      @invertrialsbiker9391  4 роки тому

      Couldn't say for sure as I have never done the full loop but I would say it probably is possible if you keep it between eco and tour/trail mode. Not sure if it's possible to cycle up coulags either I think its hike a bike

    Just a couple of things Neil

    2. Slowest that bike has gone down there
    3 . That lady should know there is never anyone behind you on a bike ride lol

      Firstly that's 3 things not a couple you stupid old man. Secondly the last time the bike went down that trail it ended up in bits and needed new parts .... remember. Thirdly it's still faster than a red one.
