UK Fatbike Forum `Scottish Slimmers` 29+ / Half Fat meet; Pitmedden Forest 18/10/15

Saturday and off over the Forth Bridge to Fife with friend Craig to the 1st UK Fatbike Forum `Scottish Slimmers` 29+ / Half Fat Meet at Pitmedden Forest.  This could be the first 29+  specific meet?, another first for the Scots if it is!...
The mist we drove up through gave way to blue skies as we headed over the Bridge and past harvest scenery to the forest to meet all those who made it....

Organised by Steven who i have not seen since his Carnoustie coast ride in 2013 who now owns a nice green Jones Half fat 29+  9 riders made the event and would ride some ace rooty single track woodland trails with testing root and rock climbs and descents... Craig was riding my Surly ECR, and Brian my KramPug along with two other Krampus`s and a couple of regular 4" Fatbikes....

With so much film i have split it into 5 films, All footage is bar mounted so a bit shaky in some places when hit roots at speed but it shows the great descents and rooty/stone climbs around the forest.

From East Lothian these peaks are referred to as the `Paps of Fife`  :)

Wet roots were a challange, superb grip at 12 psi on the 29+ smoothed things out a bit...
