Hi

Has anyone got any .gpx routes they could share that got via the bothy? I can't do an over nighter yet but just want to get out, even if for the day.

Many thanks !

There's only one bothy within the vacinity of CyB ... what are you after, a day ride that goes past it? Where do you want to start from?

Yeah a days ride past would be good. Would be better to start north of it and head south to it to save too much driving.

The CYB Dragons Back trail goes right past the Bothy.

I'll email you a route Allen but don't expect it to include any of the CyB trails

EDIT: Route emailed.

Perfect. Spent a decade mountain biking coed y - so not riding the trails would be grand!!

Thanks again, I did thank you via email as you know, but I can't wait to play!!

And there's only one crap bit ... although it did feature on the 2014 BB200

Was it that crap bit, you know, the infamous bit?

If Stu says yes, then my advice would be to plan a different route........

No, it was a less crap bit. The bit with the spooky metal shack in the woods, I believe the infamous CLINT photograph was taken there

In that case it's all rideable - you'll have a great time

Don't the crap bits make it more fun though? I'll be going in a couple of weeks and seeing how I do (probably poorly)

That was my first thought too!!

Although not crap. Just an acquired taste?

Not sure if you ride the classic 2014 bb200? But if it’s the section I’m thinking of it really is very special. Ground worth traversing to experience its unique qualities.

Once ‘ridden’ never forgotten!

For those in the know, it's the section of lovely remote rocky track that ultimately veers off through some trees (some might have being lay across the track), then spits you out onto some tussocky hillside pretending to be a bridleway. After meandering through that maze you finally found yourself on a farm track ... anyway, it's that bit but in reverse

As I suspected...

Wonder if it’s rideable the other way round???

Also, was that the sectio that led to the erm ‘Clint sticks?’

It was

Track will be nice in the opposite direction though.

The track wasn’t the part that people objected to

No, quite right but this way round it'll be like a silver lining

Looks so good. Hurry up a couple of Saturday's from now!!
