First MTB of 2009

Ailsa Craig from Carrick hills

First MTB outing of 2009 today with Katy and Craig over the Carrick hills to Croy shore and Culzean.
Nice day for it the ground was frozen and it was cold and clear.
Carrick hills are a bit on the rough side for good mountain biking a touch of the '4th dimension' but has some great views over to Arran and Ailsa Craig. Its worth it just for the views alone.
Unfortunately the Culzean centre was closed today so no coffee we just had make do with our packed lunch before a loop in Culzean and back to the car. About 3.5 hours of some quite tough cycling. Loved it not so sure if Katy and Craig did though, but its all part of the MTB experience.
