Winter-Shots vom ersten Schnee auf den schottischen MTB-Trails von Glentress

Mountainbiken in der kalten Jahreszeit hat auch seine Reize

Du schließt deine Haustür hinter dir und machst auf dem unerwarteten Glatteis direkt mal fast den Abflug. Der Winter ist unwiderruflich angekommen und es gibt kein zurück mehr bis zum Frühjahr.

Die Nachteile? Die Sonne geht erst 8.34 morgens auf und gefühlte zwei Stunden später wieder unter, Hände frieren ein, sobald man den Handschuh auszieht, Stürze mit dem Bike werden deutlich härter.

Der Vorteil? Erster Schnee ist beispielsweise auf den Trails im schottischen Glentress gefallen. Hier ein paar Eindrücke von Instagram, die Bock machen auf Winter-Mountainbiken.

I’d heard a lot about how good Glentress was for mountain biking and it didn’t disappoint. Amazing views of the Borders! #glentress #mountainbike #igersedinburgh #insta_scotland

First time on the mountain bikes for ages today. The snow made the going slow, but it didn’t make it bad….
