Professionally and/or non professionally, which country do you think has the better mountain bikers: Scotland or Wales?

Competitively Scotland yields more top riders in XC at least I'd say. There are some bloody good Welsh riders though.

I think the important thing is WGAS?

I'm pretty sure Scotland's produced more top riders. But that might just be because the invention of the safety bicycle hasn't reached some parts of wales yet (or equally likely to be because we cycle everywhere, being too tight to pay for petrol)

Well anecdotally:

The mince factor at CYB seemed to be higher than at Glentress when I was there in the summer.

Mind you that might have been more to do with CYB's comparative proximity to southern England

Is there a point to the question?

I'm only really in competition with myself, and I'm rubbish so I think that means I'm winning. Or losing.

Either way, I'm better at mountain biking than I am.
