Uist Boy (Andy) from the UK FatBike Forum and Brian (epicyclo) from her and there came up with what was a great sounding ride for Global fat Bike Day last Saturday (as though we need an excuse). The plan was around the shoreline, in its many different forms, start from opposite Little Ferry, just south of Golspie, Embo, Dornach and down the Dornach Forth to the bridge. Then up the opposite side of the Forth, past the distillery, past the bombing range, which would keep us locked to the shoreline with no access to bail out, and on to Portmahomack. Unfortunatly we ran out of light about halfway through so headed cross country to get back to the cars. Was joined by Andy Laing, a fellow Pugsley singlespeeder and just a shame as Brian had to pull out at the last minute.
A great day out as after a very late start due to me having to change cars first thing before the couple of hours drive, which seen me lose at least an hour. The weather was great as it stayed dry on us while all around us at varying times looked very dark and stormy. The high tide was just receding as we hit the beach and this made some parts very heavy going, especially as I just didn't seem to have my legs on today, or my mojo was well on holiday. While we got about half way round the original route, we at least have a pre planned ride for the next time out.
Everyday out on the Pugsley is a good day, and this one certainly didn't disappiont.
