Rise above

Okay, so I found another way to forget about the stresses of a new job; some good old mountain biking! My mate Rob and I headed north to one of the best trails in the area - the Highland Wildcats at Golspie.

Despite being feasted upon by clouds of midgies for the majority of the ascent, it actually turned out to be an awesome ride. Epic views, followed by a fast, technical descent...

It's the first time I've been spoilt for choice for my entry.
