Finally but slowly got a chance to try the Mastermind trail in Ballater. Awesome trail. I’ll say it again, thanks to the locals for building and maintaining the trail. A lot of work has gone into it. Thanks
Good idea carrying your own crash mat
😂 it was a round trip we had 35km to the east of Ballater under belt b4 Mastermind in the afternoon + camera gear all the way. It took some convincing to do this after XC trails. Thx for watching 👍
Looks look like a great trail!
It's a lot steeper than the video shows and runs very fast. Peaty rode it when he was up for Cyclehighlands' demo weekend and was quite impressed. Well done to the lads who built it.
As an aside, there is another trail that runs from the landrover track, down to Tulloch, which links with trails around the old quarry and Cambus o'May.
Shhhhhhhh! Don’t tell everyone or the best MTB trails in Britain will be full of people !!!
Notlocal: agree with you there. I’ll have another look. I did find an impressive disused pink granite quarry with what looked like a walking trail of up the hilll. Did managed to ride to a farm from the quarry to join up with Mastermind. But did not find the trail around the back of the farm so took the road.
What tune is that playing in the video ??
Aye, its a very good trail alright. What impresses me is the way the builders have best used the gradient to carry speed and flow rather than just going straight down the hill. If you want steeper tech, then see the hill to the south of Ballater immediately accross the bridge in front of you
