Been looking into the Glencoe red route, quite fancy it

Glencoe + Ft William reds would be one hell of a road trip.

And work in the Devil's Staircase as well, or that nice bit of trail on the other side of the mountain heading down towards Kinlochleven?

I quite like the fact the Glencoe trail looks the opposite of groomed singletrack.

Looks a bit rough and ready for a purpose built trail. Almost as if one guy with a JCB just drove down a hillside scraping the topsoil off then letting bikes do the tamping down. Happily give it a go on something bouncy though

Wasn't the guy in the video doing it on a Cannondale hard tail? Looked like it from the ski-lift shots.

I have to say the ski-lift worries me more than the trail, I've never been on one, and getting The Ken on one may involve similar tactics to getting Mr T on a plane.

I used to ski a fair bit, even been on that lift in the past. Besides now I am lactose intolerant so you can't drug my milk as I don't drink it

No drugging required, just a quick blow to back of head (don't want to mark your face) with blunt instrument is the preferred method nowadays.

It worries me you know about 'preffered methods' of rendering people insensible. Your not ex mob under the witness relocation program are you :shock:
