On the first half-sunny day in what feels like weeks, today we were off to Glentress to meet the Earnshaws. Louis and Olly are of one mind when it comes to bikes and going downhill, and they had a great time with each other, jostling to be at the front and overtaking each other on the bumps and berms. Holly rose to the occasion too, dancing on the pedals to get up the hills, and flying through the berms on the way down. At the bottom of the Green loop, we paused for a snack and Holly led the way on a free climb up a quarry wall. She's a natural climber, and will be heading off to the EICA during the summer. Back at Glentress, the Green loop is no longer enough for these guys, today we graduated to the Blue, with a long uphill drag to get there. Blue Velvet and Berm Baby Berm were a delight to ride, and a delight to watch the kids on. So much so that I didn't get any pictures of that part. We ended the day with a well-deserved flapjack and hot chocolate in the Hub Café, sadly soon to be no more once the Peel opens. Shame, it'll be the end of an era at Glentress.
