Its wet in the west you know!

Went through to Strontian on Thursday for the annual ADV Scotland get together. The weather forecast said it was going to be wet . . . . and unfortunately they got it right .

One picture from the ride west on Thursday, at a favourite layby with a view, for a nice cuppa

Castle Tioram photod on Fridays wander

Took a small (18 mile) shortcut on the way back to camp. Always nice to get picture of the Glenn Finnan monument with the bike in the way

And then the same with the H. Potter train viaduct . . .

Final photo is from the climb away from Loch Sheil, heading back to Strontian

Trail ride down to Dorset and back yesterday, 160 miles of back roads and trails

Bloody flies were out in force and vegetation was on steroids , no falls and only one submission with two big trees blocking a lane .

Lovely grass trail somewhere near Auxerre.........

Maintenance day at Jax Shack after the rain took it's toll on the bikes...........

 

[boboneleg]

[boboneleg]

Ooooooooooooooops

[Lutin]

Some cracking photos there Bob. Looks like you a fine ol' time.

 

[Lowflyer]

Brilliant Bob, you make us mere mortals green with envy.
Cracking photos, wouldn't like to take out a push bike on full tilt along those cobbled tracks though

I was in awe of the cyclists before I visited those roads John, but now having ridden them I cannot believe how they do it. Some of them are rough as hell even on a well suspended trail bike, it blows my mind to think of them riding over them at speed on those skinny tyres

 

[Mikey]

Look I remembered to stop for a photo

 

[Rubberchicken]

That's a nice view Mike. Very considerate with the bike mostly not in the way.

If you want to feel like your bike is really really really large, stop by a Little Honda shop for some parts.

That little silver CL90 was adorable.

 

[boboneleg]

What an excellent litlle shop
