Saturday 30th March 2024 - Aviemore ride out on the Pugsley

 I hope everyone is doing OK and managing to get a few rides in here and there despite the rubbish weather conditions lately here in the UK.

I spent Easter down in Aviemore visiting with family and friends who came up so we could all spend the weekend together. We had a big static caravan. It was a very nice weekend away. Now they aren't bike people but they also aren't the best morning people either. So that meant I slipped the Pugsley and the Jack Taylor into the van. As in previous years get togethers, in Callender and in Helensbrough that meant I would get up early, go for a ride for a few hours and return to head out to breakfast and the day together.
We arrived Friday afternoon. Saturday morning was sunny and I was on the track for Loch Morlich by about 7.30 on the Pugsley. It was nice but had a few spits of rain. Just spent my time following the all weather path to Glenmore and then exploring the tracks heading south on the other side of the road. Great fun. It was good to be back out on the Pugsley, now sporting a 1 x 9 gear setup. While I have ridden this area quite often over many years on the Pugsley, this is the first time with gears. While only a couple of hours and on the easier paths and trails, it was a great way to start the day.  
The rest of Saturday was spent dodging rain showers so certainly had the nicest weather for the ride.
