Today's ROAD ride

[non-fixie]

I've been to Scotland, and the scenery impressed me mightily for the first couple of days, but after that the endless green hills, black rocks and painted sheep began to get a little boring, to be honest. I prefer just a wee bit more life in my scenery.

Re:

The Highlands, boring? ..... OK.

Each to their own I guess.

Great pictures guys! regardless where you are, quiet country roads complete any ride.

I'm just lucky Scotland has almost limitless quiet roads with great views and a cracking coastline

Just back from Skye myself, managed a few outings over the week

Thanks to my ride last Saturday, I've found that I enjoy riding up and down hills on quiet country roads more than I enjoy riding along flat cycle paths.

Here's a pic of my new playground, Fenwick Moor, from yesterday:

Quite the opposite here...a week touring in the Netherlands with No1 son...

Re:

Wow, looks a lot less boring that the Highlands of Scotland.

Nice to be riding with No1 son though. Mine's too tall and too fast for me to keep up with. :facepalm:

You're looking at it wrong Neil - he's now strong enough to push you when it all goes tits up

Plus he can carry luggage, tent, ale and tools

Hmmm, I like the way you're thinking.
