top tour, 300 miles, loads of good ale, loads of good food, loads of good fun………. 8)

Was looking good til that last pic. 😆

Looks rubbish!

😉

Looks like a grand trip, big fella! Good for you all!

Looks good 🙂

Move along please, nothing to see here. 😉 Glad you had a good time. Looks like you need a smaller frame size? No?

Oi. I passed you outside Killin i think – at the bottom of Ben Lawers road? You were all just setting off from a break. Looks great.

Can we get a run down on where the pics are please ??

I think I recognise a few places but not many, Loch Turret being one ? and Laggan dam of course.

Nice one Ton
Got me thinking for next yr

**** hell, its like 'Saga Extreme' 🙂
Nice pics

Did you get any photos?

😉

That looks proper Ace mate.

Dead Jealous.

Give me the run down on the 19th.

2 rings on the singular but no front mech?? you've had it long enough to sort that out!

i was going to try and write something witty but I'm too busy seething with jealousy!

Sweepy – like it! 🙂

Were there any midges?

I thought 'Last Of The Summer Wine' had finished? 😀

heard of flickr? 😛

Looks ace.

only midges were on the last night, outside glen nevis yoho.
you blokes who live and ride up there are a lucky set of feckers………. 8)

I thought they had stopped filming Last of the Summer Wine 😀

Lovely part of the world though, I'm hoping to get back up there next April (usually no midges at that time of year).

You missed the Kielder 100 for that?! Unbelievable.

Reservoir looks a bit down, you must have been thirsty.

I'm guessing:

Ft William to Laggan Dam, then over Bealach Lochan a'leabhain (or whatever the hell its called) down to Loch Pattack then Dalwhinnie, then on to Kingussie and into Glen Tromie and heading south to the Gaick Pass? Then Blair Atholl, something cunning through to Kinlochrannoch, through the rannoch woods to the bealach galabhaich and down to Killin and then… christ knows, is that Kinlochleven?

not far off mate……..

killin into glen lyon, south track of loch lyon to bridge of orchy and then WHW to glen nevis.
fort william to aviemore not kingussie was done in the 1st day……it was long too.

killin into glen lyon, south track of loch lyon to bridge of orchy

Haha, genius, I was planning to ride to the parent's along this track, tis good?

Fort William to Aviemore sounds painful, 100km at least yeah? Did you take the Coire Pitridh track up from Lochan na h'earba?

glen lyon track is fantastic all the way to the whw.

yes we did take the coire pitridh track, and when we got to the top spent 30 mins looking for the left track round the lochan……..it does not exsist, however the right track was ace.

from the a9 just north of dalwhinnie we went on general wades road all the way to kingussie……a gem of a track too.

Hmmph. Guys at bothy bikes warned me off that Wade's Road going south, because of the wind as much as anything!

Is that the Kingshouse? I didn't recognise it because I'm always slumming it round the back with the other clarty walkers and cyclists.

Great trip btw!

Oh goody – I'm looking forward to doing that (soon).

OI, ton, was it you lot then? I nearly stopped and enquired…

matt, it was indeed mate
we rode up from innerwick after eating cream teas at the spot next to the gallery.
done the descent down the ben lawers road before, but i was on the rivet this year…………awesome.

aye – next time, I can show you the off road route into Killin from there 🙂

were you based at one hotel and went somewhere different everyday or did you carry all your gear with you by travelling light?

we stayed at a differant location every night.
carrying minimal stuff in a backpack.

Nice pics…I recognise a few of them but not sure why…the dude on the green Orange appears to have his brake levers misaligned (that is the only 'fault' I can spot as the pics all looks very good).

And yes…I'm effing jealous!

Ton – what sort of speed did you average?

druidh……….fast enough to get to the 1st beer stop by about 5pm most nights…….but seriously…no idea mate…… 8)

Brilliant, I thoroughly enjoyed looking at the pics.

Orange ownership compulsory? 😉
