[Closed] What did you do instead of the Strathpuffer?

It's a shame it took another year off but my team mate and I were sending messages about something daft to do instead. We opted for a 90 mile gravel loop around the Morvern penninsula and Ardnamurchan. It didn't feel puffery - the amount of descent was actually proportionate to the amount of uphill, and it was WARM. Saw 4 eagles, a handful of seals and loads of goats amongst other things.

I followed that up with a couple of laps of Laggan Black on the race bike, which was bloody excellent as ever.

Anyone feel the need for adventure in the absence of the race?
