Stunning scenery, my ma was from Easter Ross, Invergordon by birth swan in the coramart firth when it was safe and then married my da in Tain before moving south and dragging me up in Glasgow.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.

Been back to her home more than a few times and always felt far more at peace and at home there than I have felt my entire life in this concrete shithole.
Her ashes are in the old Roskeen cemetery along with her sisters, parents and more many generations of her kin before her, its a nice place to spend a few hours even in dismal weather.

Thanks Jamie, Dingwall has lovely old memories for me I still have cousins scattered around that area my uncle Bob ran a bike shop and post office in nearby Contin once upon a time...@Scott-S, you will have to come up and ride with Brian and I one weekend going round the old places. We ride these back roads all the time, and with Brian being in Dingwall, they are local roads.
Plus we know where the best coffee and cake is to be found.

I haven't been back home as I call it for nearly 5 years, I say home because my ma (when she was sober) used to say I wasn't built for city life because I wear it like a suit that's too small and choking me...
I spent a lot of time in Invergordon when I was last up and never felt as much peace in my life, I guess the old drunk was right about some things
