McTrail Rider

Welcome to my channel. My goal is to travel to as many of Scotlands amazing biking destinations as I can and bring you the clearest, smoothest footage possible, to try and help you decide if its somewhere that you would like to visit yourself.

Firstly I aim to get at least one video a week put up and secondly to build enough of a video library for my channel to be a one stop channel for anyone seeking to find new biking destinations in Scotland.

I have made my decision to grow the channel and it has my full commitment so the videos will come. I would be very grateful to anyone who subscribes as this will help spur me on.

The best thing about KZread is it is interactive so feel free to comment with your thoughts or even suggest a destination i should go to.

Thanks for visiting my channel.

    I did this ride a short while ago & snapped my rear mech juts before the bothy. Long push back up, which was a real pain. I'll have to go back some day to compete it.

    Agreed same in N England. Usually at the solstice I have memories of many great summer rides and camping out in warm weather. Have none! One silver lining is I hope the usual winter lows/blues will not be so bad! I may enjoy winter more. Will see!

    Awesome video Andrew. Probably my favorite one yet! Going full time has certainly made a massive impact on your riding! Great to see you getting more and more comfortable with the super techy stuff. Also Kudo's for the responsible drone use up top, most people wouldn't have cared and stuck it in the air anyway 👍

    Thanks for the video, after having my mountain bike stolen I gave up for a few years. Just bought myself a new mountain bike and have been enjoying myself in the woods, and headed up to Carron Valley Reservoir, which was pretty but a bit boring! Will have to find some more technical routes like these.

    Another film of your adventures filmed superbly, putting your skill levels on show and the beauty of Scotland's wilderness and high peaks. Unfortunately I have to disagree with you re the ghosts having encountered one on a riverbank near Peterhead. In the early hours of a morning sea trout fishing, whereby to try and discount my eyes deceiving me and that of my fellow fisherman I poked my 10ft rod towards the apparition and it passed right through. We beat a hasty retreat and I never returned to that pool and found out later that was the reason why the old timers stayed clear also. Around that period I had another encounter with a ghost but it was my granny coming back to check on her young great grandson who woke up and started chatting to what he described as the lady in the corner who had met him once when he was 2 weeks old but he described exactly the type of clothes she used to wear i.e. a housecoat. That did not spook me at all but gave me great comfort unlike the encounter on the river. Enjoy the bothy I am sure it will be fine just don't go on your own.

    Great video again, been following a while. What skills, it looks steep on GoPro so must be very! Love the scenery and peak spotting shots too. Can't wait to get back ro Scotland this summer (dont mention the midges!) but i think ill be hiking this one before biking it, many years skills progression for me, if i ever get that good I'd be super satisfied! But its inspiring seeing your rides and progress.

    Did we see you two doing this on 2 June '23? I biked down mountains on 26" wheel full rigids then hardtails from 1988 to 2009 before going over to the road so have never ridden a bike with 29" wheels but even if I owned one, my gonads certainly aren't large enough to ride that kind of stuff. One question though: isn't it easier to get off the back and ride down the grass? Lawers and Glen Lyon is my favourite ride but strictly on my climbing tarmac bike.
