    So, I'm thinking of selling the Dyna banana monster...

    Yup, thinking it's time to rationalise- I just don't use it enough to justify the space, and I could do with replacing the aging snowboard. What do you lot reckon it's worth? Would be happy to split if that helped move it on...

    Rattlecan Paint Extravaganza - Judged @ Summer Solstice Meet

    And today I did......

    This evening I have been mostly scouring eBay for tandems :D Found one for less than a fiver,might not be the best, but it only needs to last one run... Wait, no it doesn't, it just needs to outlast a certain tall geezer from midlothian :wink:

    Not gonn make it- just back from a&e after squirting Halfords finest DOT4 in my left eye. Not the best plan I ever had! My mate Allan will probably still be there, he'll be in a blue transit and knows the route...

    not sure a mad scramble across the A9 dual carriageway sounds like much fun to me! I reckon there'd be some trail improvisation to get there from Killiecrankie...

    IDEA!! same carpark but start by headin south into town, can pop into Escape Route for a chat and show off the old schoolers to the owner if he's in (legendary aberdeen riding loon called Kev Dangerous if my info's correct!)and pick up any local info on extension to the trail, then across...

    about 12-14 miles-ish by my rough guestimate on the OS map, Meeting point- good carpark at the end of Clunie Bridge Road- turn left towards Green Park Hotel as you leave Pitlochry heading north-...

    Ho yea, famous for their ability to run away from things, thats my ancestors! I can happily lead if needed, only done it once this summer but was a chilled day out- its right by the river and very sheltered so I cant imagine there'll be much ice if any! If its a go-er I'll work out...

    Alternative route as promised, starts a couple of mile further in Pitlochry, follows riverside as far as food at Killiecrankie, then back other side of the river to start and more food and pubs, easy to medium singletrack and wide path, nice views, mellow gradient, small amount of tarmac at...
