Is there a ride tmw ?

Great stuff Chung.

Cheers Davie ! IMG_3760.HEIC

So sorry to hear this Davie but ,as Elaine said, control what you can and I'm glad to see the bike will be a part of that. I know one of your great heroes is a cancer survivor (🤥) and sometime bike rider and I hope you follow in his footsteps ! I have attached a few photos. Good times. The first trip to Girona and that amazing apartment. Bringing the ear plugs when you and I were sharing at Nove Colli and you asked if you could have a set ! The earthquake ! Billy, Coutie and I trying to drink your booze and mess up your wee flat in Gazost before heading back to the hotel. Top of the Toumalet in classic DavieB mismatch kit. Nevermind the dry January, I will raise a wee glass of your favourite tipple ( you know I'm not talking about High 5 right ?) and drink to you making some more memories. All the best with the treatment Davie and maybe I'll get a look at the ebike later in the year.

Happy birthday Charlie !

I agree with Alan - turns out all I am interested in is where I am on the table ! Its not often pleasant reading however😧 The age group tables are better though.

https://www.strava.com/activities/1135227572 I rode this route after doing the NC500. I don't remember much about it other than it was a headwind and wet! I didn't stay on the Great Glen route out of Inverness. Went down the east side of Loch Ness on the road. That was a big climb. Looks like I was then on a variant of the route all the way down. Stuck to the east at Loch Oich. I have ridden Invergarry - Fort Augustus on the west side and seem to remember that involved a good climb out of Invergarry. From Laggan on down it was good going , fatigue and weather notwithstanding - check my coupon ! All good fun but obviously do it in the other direction. Something to look forward to after the time of cholera !

Ok - clearly been in England too long - weather obviously not suitable for a big one tmw. Hopefully see you at the weekend.

Am in Glasgow tmw Charlie - you don’t fancy a crack at the Loch Awe route ?

Good luck guys .

Amazing memories you young fellas have Mr O’Neil ! https://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/2653012198 It is long Charlie - even with 10 miles off for the ferries (and about 10000ft Marco ). You could go straight up the main road to Inveraray but I really wouldn’t recommend it. Get an early ferry and enjoy it ! Or do what Richard of Montague and I did and ride out to Portavadie over the Rest first 😳

Yeah that’s the loop we did a few years ago Charlie ( with Marco and Al Fox ). Would be an impressive day out to do the lot !

Yup, sorry to miss this one.
