Another little jaunt on the tracklocross bike, to be honest, though this one may be more considered a fixed gear ride. I ride alongside the Forth and Clyde canal as it meanders between Clydebank and Bowling. I was off to look at the new Bowline active travel path and assess future group ride routes.
Scottish Tracklocross Rides -3
For this tracklocross ride YouTube video, I decided to try and make a slow TV style of video. I felt that this ties in nicely with the mindfulness I have talked about in recent posts.
Making Your Tracklocross Ride More Mindful
Today I took myself out on a tracklocross ride in conditions everyone else was complaining about riding in. I had the time of my life, though. As a result, I found I just had a new lust for life. Don’t fear the conditions; embrace them; even though they weren’t perfect, I didn’t let that ruin my day. Today, I was just in the moment. I was mindful.

On the 15th of Jan 2022, Fiefdom (me) will be bringing Trackloslalom to Wishawhill Wood Pump Track. What is Tracklosalmon, I hear you ask. Tracklosalmon is a tracklocross race crossed with a dual slalom race. In our course, you’ll find woods, mud, swamp, and even part of a pump track.
Will it be fun?

Always nice to see a Terry Barensten tracklocross video.

2021
2021 on a personal level for me, has been shite. Just not that great at all. There have been struggles at every corner. Personal struggles with my ex. Healthcare issues, physical and mental. Relationship issues. Now, the charity, well, a CIC, but no one really seems to understand the difference, that I get in the way of running has had a loss of £30k of bikes. Given that bikes cost that now, this may not seem like a lot. In the grand scheme of things, it isn’t, but beyond the monetary value, these bikes inspired hope in many young people, which has now been whipped away.
