And today I did......

[jonthefish]

First aid course in Aviemore with 5pm finish so took the Erzulie up to Loch Eanaich. Cracking evening. The loch was a mirror reflecting all the hills. Last wee bit of sun on the tops of the corries on Braeriach. Nae camera. Doh. Numpty. Frozen hands coming down but a wee Brew Dog has reopened the capillaries ok.

I thought you were jacking in the whole bike thing?

It can be a cold ride coming back down that glen! At least you didn't do a ZigZag. :shock:
Nice spot though. Much snow about?

Not much snow. One wee patch over the landrover track high up track. This good weather has cleared it fast. There is a sign saying the single track bit is by the river shut for a landslide but it is easily carried over and better than slogging up the landrover track.

Ok not today but Sunday..I was at the Dunkeld Enduro. Had a stinker of a race. The technicality of the course meant that my rock up and ride policy was not the best idea. Every stage had trail obstacles that had me scratching my head and I dearly missed not doing the practice day. Still I enjoyed it thoroughly, rode stuff I'd normally balk at (not always successfully though if my legs are anything to go by). Takeaway lesson is go to the practice day! The physical aspect of the day seemed to allow my immune system to drop its guard and I've been laid up with the Norovirus most of the week, frakin horrible it was.

Well done K, Dunkeld round always sounds like a challenge. Keep meaning to head up and ride some of the stages sometime. Easy to find?
Speaking of Dunkeld, I've found out about Flotec suspension based there. Rebuild cost for the forks I screwed are £35 cheaper than Mojo, plus it will be cheaper to drop them off and wait than pay for return postage.

Also, in the last few days found out that Mexican Father Christmas "may" have a gift for me soon.

Re:

Routes should be up on Strava C. And Flotec built stage 4 and 5 so they could point you in the right direction. I'm hoping to get back up at some point, I'll keep you posted, need to excise some demons

Just the collecting of parts i dont need Rob. I'd always have a bike though, otherwise i'd probably seize up totally. Its probably the only thing keeping me healthy. Or reasonably so.

Just spending money for the sake of it and thats not such a good idea, especially as you know, what the future may bring.

Besides, i want to buy a boat,and in particular that boat. I'd rather have funds for marine ply, than a 30 year old hub, no matter how new or shiny.
Though that isnt confirmed as its a huge commitment. Lots of sums, difficult ones and use the head not the heart to decide.


Or be back tomorrow having knocked the boaty idea as too big a risk and out to get fit
