The Three Glens Route and a Vintage MTB
The Three Glens Route and a Vintage MTB
A mountain bike trail in the national park for something different today and some great fun
When I dusted down my bike I was thinking it was a tad old – that was until Gerry appeared on his classic Specialized Mountain Bike from last century. To be fair though , it did the job and we both got round having lots of fun and adventures en route.

Safety first guys! Lol that trek across no mans land looked like one of my "adventures", cool… 😀
I bought a very expensive Cannondale carbon full suspension MTB… and it's been nothing but trouble, stick to the old bike is my advice. Thanks for posting, enjoyed watching, thumbs up.
nice one, fast becoming my favourite chanel is this keep up the good work mate
Was doing some fishing at the Galloway forest, Loch doon, https://youtu.be/j86oYpSR6CU
I really enjoyed that one, great video. Nice to see you on a bike! Don't blame for going around that fast water stream!
Great video again Murray looked like it was fun we may have to consider this route for a day out ourselves after watching this
Didn't like the look of that ford and progress of the torrent thereafter – wise move re the detour!
The main thing is you got out, had fun and had an adventure:)
Always good to get out for a wee bike adventure? Another great wee video with a twist at the end? Skye week?
❤ ⬅️ as always Murray! ? absolutely lovely! Thanks again! ?
I now own a Specialized MTB (relatively modern version) but I reckon you guys will still give me a run for my money.
Looks like a fabulous trip! What's up with you health? Are you fit again?
any chance of a backy up to the bridge at glen ogle tae fly my racing drone?
I'll bet you a pound to a penny you pushed up the top part of Glen Kendrum after the stream crossing although you have probably edited that out ya bugger ye.
This is my local riding patch and the proper run is the five glens. Glen Ogle, Glen Kendrum, Glen Dubh, Glen Dochart and finally Kirkton Glen. Basically you head along the old Glen Dochart railway after the Glen Dubh descent and head up to Rob Roy's putting stone at the top of Kirkton Glen then wheeching down to Balquidder (Lots of man made MTB tracks in Kirkton glen to add a bit of spice) From Balquidder you just head for the sustrans track all the way up Glen Ogle. (I prefer starting and finishing at Balquidder.
The wee three glen route was my cross country training circuit.
Great video , I cycled from Callander to that Car Park a few years ago, was a great day out. Oh and I recently painted the Glen Ogle viaduct on my Ray Fine Art channel ???♂️?
This is why I mainly watch YouTube and no longer TV programming. Thanks Murray for keeping it real 🙂
It was sad to see you without a helmet Murray.
Hi Murray, I have spent a bit of time around Killin and the Maragowan campsite. The Falls of Dochart pub does great food. I've walked a bit in the forest with the dogs between where you parked and Killin village. A lovely part of the country. I must remember the cycle route. Thanks for sharing Cheers
Interesting watching this with the subtitles switched on: the voice recognition does a "creative" job.
Nice adventure Murray, 2:33 sounded like the railway reopened and a steam train was heading for you ? Nice wee change! Thanks for sharing! Kris.
