This Saturday Brian and I thought we better get some miles in and get the legs spinning before next weekends ride at the east Lothian Rough Stuff Audax. A plan was hatched that I would head down to Brians, we would head into Inverness and the ride south on the eastern side of Loch Ness. We lost time sitting in Velocity eating cake and drinking coffee but for once it wasn't our fault. We sought shelter there from the dreak, driving, misty, hill covering rain. I'm glad we did and didn't turn back to Brian's earlier as it did get a bit drier and even a good bit brighter. Before the end of the ride we did get a couple of showers but the first we sheltered under the trees at Loch Duntelchaig and then, the second heavier one was on the General Wades road not long before dropping back down to Inverness and we managed to outrun that one. (we had a good tailwind). It was a nice ride with the weather not being unkind at all considering what was blowing about all around us.
Anyway here's some pics.

This is a small Mort House next to a small cemetery on a very quite little lane. Its a bare room where the dead were kept before burial. In the old days it was long enough to let them start decomposing to deter grave robbers. Brian's just getting into the mood
