Who lives up there?. I'm working there for next few weeks (at least) and was looking for some biking that neck of woods. I could take the road bike and get lost but would also like to take the mtb where possible

Sidlaws, but if they aren't frozen solid they will be a quagmire at the moment!! We had several inches of snow over the weekend ad its been thawing all day.

Carron Valley is only 45 mins away if you wanted a trail centre

Templeton woods may be snow free, but pretty small and can get muddy. Most off road round my way is still pretty iced up.

From Dundee? Perhaps in a helicopter.

Pretty icy at the moment. Had a wee jaunt to Tentsmuir yesterday across the Tay, but spent most of the time on my ass. Loads of fun though!

and you have NO CHANCE

people underestimate my mountain bike abilities. !! 😛

As far as CV goes, i live just outside Glasgow as it is but i'm more of thinking that if i finish a shift at 3 or 4pm, where can i go locally, or if there is any bikers (road or mtb) who do weekday night rides and dont mind an unfit biker tagging along.
