Sanny meets up with Munrobiker, for a reader’s ride that very much lives up to his username.
The Shuttle is brilliant. I have a third long term review piece that should be published next week. I still had 4 bars of power at the end of the ride. It is light enough that you can realistically pedal flatter sections with the motor off. Still no sign of an extender though. I cannot fault the motor. It has been terrific. I realize folk have had serious issues but mine has been excellent which was a key consideration for the test. Would it be reliable? Absolutely is the answer, for me at least.
Any questions, just ask?
Cheers
Sanny

@munrobiker double apologies, not only have I mistaken you for someone else, but I also incorrectly tagged you above.
My clumsiness aside, I remain impressed by you all.
I am incredibly impressive 😉
I think the thing I've realised is doing all the Munros with a bike would be grim, and I'm not going to - I'm impressed grizzly munro diaries has done them, he must have a lot of grit!
Totally agree. There is a lot of dross in the Munros with a bike. Aonach Eagach and the Cuillin Ridge are just walks with your bike. You’d be as well taking a Brompton and not bothering to unfold it. Fair play to Paul Tattersall and Grizzly Munro Diaries for doing it. That said, there are a few more Munros that I still want to ride that i have not had a crack at yet!
@sanny - I watched the episode of Our Lives with Grizzly Munro Diaries last night and it's worth a watch especially because they dug out Paul Tattershall. I hadn't realised he was doing an unsupported round of all the Munros in a oner so was taking his bike up really just to make his loop more efficient, not to say he'd done them all with his bike. He was a pretty gnarly looking dude!
Well that's inspired me a ride up to Loch Coire Àrdair Could be on the cards in the next 4 weeks or so

The only thing I would say is pick your day to not be a windy one. The wind fair whips in up The Window. It is definitely worth exploring the plateau like we did. Hope you enjoy it!
