Anyone in or near Inners just now?... What's the weather like?

It's a washout up north and I have a days riding planned down there tomorrow

Met office says its mainly dry down there today but I'm finding it hard to believe given the rain around the central belt.

How bad are the trails likely to be ?

I'm 15 miles away.
They are talking bollox.
TBF it's stopped half an hour ago but that's about the only break in it since Tuesday. Not been on the trails but there is a LOT of standing water on the roads and Gala Water is over the banks and into the fields.
This is annoying as I've taken Monday Tuesday and Wednesday off to ride my new to me bike and the forecast is still grim for those

As above it's only just stopped raining.

I'd not let that stop you though.
We'll be over goflie tomorrow.
I always think there's more grip after a lot of rain than there is after it's been dry then had a shower.

Good info. Thank you.

Planning on riding the golfy so it's good to know.

It has 12hrs to dry off a little 🙂

It’s been awful.

I rode Glentress yesterday and it was miserable, I sacked it off today and went shopping instead. And I hate shopping.

Still spitting in Edinburgh now.

Tomorrow’s looking dry so I’ll probably stay down here and go out in the morning.

@RudiBoy

Say hello if you see us.
There should be three of us all on Geometrons of different models.

Mountain Rescue will be training at the Golfie tomorrow morning. Great news for you if you do have an epic as we'll be close to hand! I need to be home by mid afternoon though s0 if you do plan to crash, could you please be good enough to do so before lunchtime?

Thanks

We've got a table booked at the brewery for the avo so that'd fit in well with our plans.🍻

Trail wise I'd just avoid wardell way. It's a total mud bath at the top and huge puddles on the open bit.

Tempest? That would work out well, we could scoop you off the trail, load you in the wagon and kick you out at Tempest on the way home!
