Some courses and XC races will sort out the MTB skills?
This guy is really good for the basics, based at Swinley https://www.purplebikeshed.com/private-mtb-skills-session/ and Tom Dowie or Tony Doyle (Jedi) for the rad skillz
XC races - try Gorrick / Brass Monkeys? -
Only got the bike last week.
gets new bike.. tears it apart riding 550mi in the middle of freakin nowhere
Massive respect - if you've not done much mountain biking, and never ridden in the wilds of Scotland, getting round this route, never mind competing at the sharp end of the race, is hugely impressive. You are a monster!
I've got an adventure planned at a much more sedate pace in a couple of weeks. First leg is over the Corrieyairack Pass - is that still in good shape? I'm hoping its an easy section.
