Got a weekend without the kids, but all my riding buddies are either broken or away on holiday. Anyone want to go on a magical mystery tour? I can travel as far South as Perth-ish. Lumpy techy stuff preferred.

Who wants to go riding somewhere in Scotland with me this Saturday?

No can do, in the battle betwixt boots and bikes the boots are winning at the moment, give us a wave if you're passing Ben Alder at all!

Since I am neither broken nor on holiday on Saturday, I guess that rules me out of your "riding buddies" clique too.....

Can't make this weekend but thinking of a trip up there in September...

Maybe - depends on what and when and can I get there?

Druidh! thought you were on fambly hols...
What d'you want to do and where?...Posted 10 months ago # -
I'd love too, but won't as I'm clearly not your riding buddy
Actually I'm in NI

LOL - just jesting. We get back from Lochaber on Friday and I suspect I'll be a bit busy on Saturday. Anyway - lumpy tech stuff? Me?

TJ, Al and Druidh, you're all my riding buddies, I just meant local riding buddies who I see on a weekly basis. Grrr!
And Druidh, I thought I was supposed to be 'coaching' you sometime, so you'll have to do lumpy techy stuff then!!
Allthegear, Where you going in September?

Jojo - I have a hankering to do the Ben alder circuit - what you got in mind? bearing in mind my fragile elderly and cowardly status. Wouldn't mind another shot at laggan as well
Posted 10 months ago # -
I would. But can't. So I won't. Just remember the buff hug's at Laggan the other week.
Posted 10 months ago # -
TJ, I was considering Laggan just to hang out and ride a bit actually and kipping in the van fri or sat night.
The Ben Alder circuit is a major uphill carry-a-bike and boggy hell-march for part of it, did it with Mr Coogan, Winnie and Dutchoven a few years ago so need to leave it a wee bit longer for the "not-so-good-bits" amnesia you need in order to repeat Kenny "effin" Wilson routes to set in.Posted 10 months ago # -
I no longer discuss that stupid hill.
Posted 10 months ago # -
Interested as I'm in the same situation

Jo sent you a message on facebook

I'm free saturday, not been up north enough this year.
Posted 10 months ago # -
I would but I'm actually too frightened you might abduct me for all sorts of unpleasantness and nefarious acts.
That and it's a bit far don't think my Oyster card will get me there.

Unless you fancy weedling your way into an 'invitation only to employees' Adventure race that I have to run on Saturday, then nope here too.

Nah, you'll be fine
or will you?
Posted 10 months ago # -
looks like i have a free sunday. WOOP!
Although lacking motorised transport makes options limited.
Posted 10 months ago # -
Hijack - Al if you are in NI near Belfast and want a show round, let me know, will be out early sat morn
Posted 10 months ago # -
Given the forecast for the weekend I'd give Ben Alder a wide berth. But if it's good it'd be a good one for those relying on public transport.
Posted 10 months ago # -
Yes... I saw that forecast, could be an absolute stinker
Feel more sorry for the other 7 people coming with, I can at least plod away to my heart's content in the pouring rain, they might not be so keen. It'll either be a very busy or very empty bothy come friday night...

Jo I'm off to check out a new line off Macdui and back into Feshie on Fri day.
Come along and laugh at the fixed rigid rider with me.Posted 10 months ago # -
I'm there
Posted 10 months ago # -
Hi Jojo - I was thinking of a bit of a drive around 7 stands and maybe even a bit of a trip as far as the Lairig Ghru (always wanted to ride it but been prevented on a number of occasions)
Might bring a friend who is fairly new to riding off road.

Elfin, what on earth makes you think I might be into nefariousness... ?! Some of we Highlanders are quite sofistimakated.
Backcountry, I can't do Fri, got to work I'm afraid, though sounds interesting, I could bring my Kona Sutra just for some out-nichemanship...
So where do those willing and able fancy then? I'm frozen with indecision and overwhelmed by too much choice.

If my hillwalking buddy isnae up for a wander then I'd come and do a bit of biking. Be taking it a bit soft though- just back on bike after mangling ankle a few months ago.
(In Edinburgh btw.)
Posted 9 months ago # -
Hmmm, teh Devs is available and has been apparently passed over as a riding buddy. I could possibly go some Laggan or Golspie action. Saving the big mountain stuff for later in the month although there is a certain 840m local hill that I'm eyeing up again for a blast.

Torridon?... SLW have you done the 'classic' Torridon loop?

Well, I remember talk of Badly Packed Kebabs, and I'm quite frightened.
A kebab should always be well-packed and tidy.
