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.
