Golfie Newbie, A 2025 Goal Made Good (Tweed Valley Enduro Day 2)

I was a mountain hiker and climber, so naturally started out mountain biking on bridleways and tracks up and around the hills on a hardtail. Gradually the routes got more technical, I loved the rocky descents and after an initial apathy I even started liking some trail centres. I didn't initially quite get the appeal of the 'muddy tree dodging' (impression I had) of enduro/off-piste mountain biking. But these videos kept popping up on my You Tube feed and I delved a little deeper. The likes of ‪@streetpigeonmtb‬ ‪@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB‬ and the ‪@MindfulTrailBiker‬ 'off-piste for beginners' series gradually made it look more appealing and made me think maybe it was something I could progress to after all. I incorporated the recommended starter off-piste trail Ho Chi Min into a trail centre day at Glentress in the Tweed Valley, also including some of the tough, steeper and more natural black graded trails. This was on my hardtail, May 2024. I decided that was it, I was going to do it. I made it my aim to work my way up to the famous, notoriously steep and technical "Golfie" trails up the road at Caberston Forrest (Enduro World Series venue) within the next year. As with all my rides I didn't want to just get down the trails, I wanted to ride them with some level of competence, not 'tripoding down' and just surviving. First step new bike, got a great deal on the full suspension 'long travel trail'/'enduro lite' Stumpjumper EVO the next month, that should do the job (actually found out the Specialized enduro racer Charlie Murray had started using that bike rather than their all out Enduro bike!). Started seeking out bits of local off-piste and steeper, more technical and natural trail rides with the help of various local YouTuber's videos (and a guided tour from the Mindfuls). Tried out some enduro trails at Aboyne (solo, the less gnarly ones, bottled the slab!) and Pitfichie on an MTB holiday in Scotland in October and had a long day trip to AE Forest in November! I'd got the bug, After a bit of a winter lull, an opportunity to do an off-piste weekend in the Tweed Valley with 'friends of friends' who'd ridden these trails before came up for end of March. With things looking like they may go a bit awry in the world I was motivated for living right now, Risking the potential weather conditions I jumped on it. Had a coaching session and more prep with some good riders in the weeks before at AE and some more local spots. Must be ready now.....? Yet I still had my doubts.......this place has a reputation for a reason, right? Or was it all hype? Could I ride these trails confidently in early 2025, 9 months into my prep year???? 00:00 Coming Up.... 00:57 Intro 02:00 Flat White 05:05 New York New York 12:43 3G Upper 15:43 Wardell Way Upper 19:28 Wardell Way Lower 21:30 Repeat Offender Lower 24:00 Retreating Over The Road 25:00 Angry Sheep 27:40 Uplift?? 28:00 Cadon Bank 32:10 Message for the OH
