I've been a keen mountain biker since the early nineties, having grown up in Bridge of Allan where there are miles of single-track in every direction. As a teenager, I raced cross-country across Scotland and after high school spent a year cycling around New Zealand. These days I ride mostly in the Scottish Borders with my eldest son during school holidays and make do with the tame trails of Essex during term time.

Lupine, Gunsight and Lower Loop

Fairly easy loop from Crested Butte as warm up day before a bigger ride tomorrow. Lovely views over wetlands towards Mount Crested Butte, flowing sections through aspen woods, and a return route alongside slate river.

A nice loop from Saffron Walden to Nina's Coffee between Debden and Newport then back again. Mostly off-road with some of the more fun downhill sections in the area, such as the descent into Newport past the quarry and a very steep tunnel through the trees on the return route.
