Out last weekend with Brian for a ride through the Black Isle from Dingwall to one of the Garden Centres for a cracking lunch and some cake.
Always a good reason for a ride.
Brian was on his Voodoo with Alfine and drop bars while I was on my ever reliable Long Haul Trucker. Nice weather if just a bit cooler than has been lately. Sticking to back roads and cycle paths were we could with the start few miles being around the shoreline on singletrack and dirt walking tracks.
Good to be out after the rubbish weather up here the last month and also good to have lunch and cake for young Brians recent birthday.
Hope everyone else is doing fine and getting the odd ride in.

Haven't posted here for ages. Nice day in Lochaber - just a wee trip to the post office.

Wish my trips to the post office looked like that!

No bikes for me this week, but some much needed family time away from the shitty year we’ve had. A week in a lovely family friendly hotel in Tenerife. Today was a boat trip to spot pilot whales, dolphins and some unexpected sea turtles, followed by an afternoon in the pool with mini me.

Currently 9pm, 20 degrees, short sleeves and a wee rum in hand.

Brian, Caleb and I braved the wind and the rain on Saturday to head out to Aultbea for a ride to the Arctic Convoy Museum for Calebs Wester Ross shakedown ride.
A suitable homecoming as we were also visiting the Arctic Convoy museum where, in the same building, Calebs Wester Ross was built back in 1982. Fitting as well as we had planned to visit the museum a long while back as his great grandfather took part in many of the convoys on two different ships.
We headed down and picked up Brian very early and then headed in from the north. We had some rain as forecast but for the few hours ride and also visiting the museum we were very lucky and even had a bit of sunshine.
The Wester Ross rode superb and is such a really nice riding bike. Caleb was well pleased and more than happy to ride it back where it was built.
We had some late lunch at a local B&B and soon as we left and got just a little way north the skies opened once again.
So all in all we were lucky with the weather, managed a short but lovely ride and generally had a great day out.
Thanks to Brian for once again joining us, always great fun.
