Midweek Cycle High Tide Cycle; Tyninghame...

Real high tides this week as we approch another full moon, I met Chris for a cycle after work at Tyninghame, despite the tide right in there is still plent of mud free dry sandy loam trails to ride if you know where to look here. We ended up riding 12 miles doing a big loop through the woods. so much riding i made 5 films, starting here cycling towards Mosshouse point using some of the winter Enduro Series from last year,

You can see here at Mosshouse point just how high the tide was, at 5.7 meters we would have to go through the woods as the salt mash trail was submerged. Was a lovely eveningto be out cycling as we wound through more moto trails in the woods...

Chris`s bikes chain was skipping now under any pressure and we soon diagnosed the problem with missing teeth on the front big chainring, we continued with Chris spinning away on the lower front chainring,  and we enjoyed have the trails to ourselves while the waves lapped the high tideline below us as we wound our way along the tails...

Stopping after the ditch on Secret Trail after Chris tried another line around the ditch and took a tumble but was ok, Chris noticed and pointed out the old tree i was leaning on was rotten and hung up above our heads!,  this could be dangerous, so we moved on!...

Film of Secret Trail next, Song is `George Square Thatcher Death Party` by Mogwai
