Friday – Took Mark of this parish up Buchaille Etive Beag. What started as a fantastic ridge ride down to the saddle became a rocky staircase walk down of despair.

Saturday was chilling in the west end while Sunday was an awesome ride out to Kippen with my wife and wee one for a pub lunch at the Cross Keys gastropub followed by the wee one playing for ages in the swing park.

Topped off with a cheeky blast on the Fat Bike yesterday for a quick 2 hour spin.

Attempted to ride the Lakeland 200

Set off with Steve m but weather was really hot and it took its toil on fully loaded bikes Steve decided he had had enough(heatstroke) I carried on cutting a couple of loops off the route completed the route in 3 days with a bivi but sun burn and very bad heat rash.Great route just a tad to hot for me.
