Re: Road Ride: May 18th - Bonar Bridge - leadmore + return
This will be the usual leisurely macretro affair I'm sure.
To be honest any bike you want to bring is fine with me, whether it be your old tourer, epicyclo's old turn of the century roadster, your 2014 carbon featherlite or even your 84 Stumpjumper mountain bike, pretty much ride what you bring. If the distance is too long for the majority I can shorten the route or at least adjust to suite. Maybe even do out to the second junction then north to Lairg and then Golspie, bit shorter and a few ' get out early' routes back if anyone needs them.
No one gets left behind on macretro runs and faster guys usually wait and regroup often. To be honest its more the social aspect than putting in miles. Just trying to get the ball rolling on a couple of more northern rides.
I'll more than likely be riding my Merckx.
edit*** The run along most of the valley is flatish with a few rolling hills, nothing major Velo. I was surprised at the distance as it doesn't seem that long as its pretty easy going, but beautiful countryside.
