Back on my bike and back in the snow! After 6 weeks of physiotherapy and swimming
\nand not a lot of work, I\u2019m fighting fit and so excited to be on the trails again!<\/p>\n

For my first ride I teamed up with an all star legendary cast of friends comprising of Miss
\nJaymie Mart from the Barbados Downhill Mountain bike team who has just returned from
\nthe World Masters Championships in Brazil sporting a Silver medal \u2026. \u2018Congratulations
\nJaymie\u2019!<\/p>\n

Mr. Andy McKenna\u00a0of Go where Bike www.go-where.co.uk<\/a> – a legendary
\ntrail guide in his own right \u2013 and last but not least – Mr. Chris Ball, Founder of Dirt School
\nwww.dirtschool.co.uk <\/a> the UK’s top Mounting Biking Skills School . WOW, I\u2019m in good hands!<\/p>\n

A beautiful frosty morning in Innerleithen\u00a0(click here to check out map<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chilly for the spiders at this time of the year\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Little bit of bridge yoga to get me limbered up for the ride ahead \u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For you fisher men and women out there the Tweed river is one on the world\u2019s most
\nsought after spots to cast a line out and try catch one of the tasty Scottish salmon
\nwe have running the rivers. We stopped off to see if we could see the fish were making
\na brake for the higher waters, it\u2019s hard to see, but if you look closely, you may be able
\nto make out one wee fellow making a bid for it in the middle of the purpose billet salmon
\nladder.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After an\u00a0icy and\u00a0muddy climb to the top we had a small push through the snow to finish
\nthe assent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An over excited Mike happy to be at the top and feeling like my shoulder is as good as
\n100% back in action. Time for a wee cup of tea before are decent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No cups of tea for Andy just a mouth full of snow!!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chris giving me some tips for the next part of the trails<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What goes up must go doon<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Innerleithen\u00a0is home to some of the best trails in the UK from natural singe track, cross
\ncountry to full on world class downhill. Earlier that morning we had seen Steve Peat the
\ncurrent world champion hitting up the trails getting in some winter training. This place is
\nLegendary and I\u2019m incredibly lucky to have this on my door step\u00a0and have such great
\npeople to rip up the trails with.<\/p>\n

Massive\u00a0thanks to Jaymie Mart for the photos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
