Postby Fairways18 » Sat Aug 02, 2008 6:43 pm

Three years we've intended to tour Scotland, rained off every time... :banghead)

Managed it this year... :D we set off 22nd July with the xx in the Bird bo xx :clap: weather forecast for the week, and beyond, was good... :clap: :clap:

Our first stop was just up from loch lomond at a site near Arrochar called Ardgarten, on the shores of loch long....

we did some other routes as well but they were mainly B roads very scenic, but not the best biking roads..

Our next main ride took us to Applecross.... :D what a fookin ride that was.. :clap: :clap:
most of these pics were taken by Linda whilst we were still riding..

:clap: :clap: Excellent :clap: :clap:
There is nothing wrong with the way I ride.

Just stay 15 feet in front or 15 feet behind. You need to be 15 feet to my left or right.

Any closer and your MINE all MINE
